To fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil is divisive out of proportion to his prominence... But also he's apparently so powerful that the One Ring has no effect on him.
It's that mystery and dichotomy that made Payne and McKay interested in bringing him into The Rings of Power, despite his canonical appearances being limited to those few chapters in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Tom Bombadil is singing and saying lines that could be nursery rhymes from children's poems... is a real point of light amidst an otherwise sea of darkness.
Payne and McKay's Bombadil is concerned with the fate of natural life on Middle-earth: 'In our story, he has gone out to the lands of Rhûn.'
