No “Weekend Update” for Bennett.
He’s all about “The Daily Planet.”
Who is Steve Lombard of DC Comics, you ask?

You’ll be very familiar with him by the time the new Superman movie rolls around next year.
“Welcome to the DCU, Steve Lombard!”

So, who is Mr. Lombard?
They will all be fearlessly led by editor-in-chief Perry White (Wendell Pierce).
In some iterations of the comics, Steve is a writer.
In others, he’s an editor.
In all, he’s kind of a dick.
In the most recent incarnations of the character, he also has a douchey mustache.
So this jibes well with Bennett’s courtier of comedy personas.
