    What happens when Batman enters the cyberpunk future of 1990… via early-90s CGI? In this episode of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive into the bizarre, ambitious, and wildly outdated world of Batman: Digital Justice — one of DC's earliest fully computer-generated graphic novels. We break down the story, the tech it was made on, the weird villains (Mob Lord! Madame X! A Joker virus!), and the overly enthusiastic teeth renders. From 8 megs of RAM and Tron-style Batmobiles to hoverboarding Robins, it's a wild ride through a digital Gotham like no other.

    It's the grand finale! In this week's episode of Bros, Foes & Heroes, we close out our deep dive into All-Star Superman with issues 10 through 12 — and it's all building toward one of the greatest endings in comic book history. Superman races against time as his body continues to break down, and Lex Luthor finally gets everything he ever wanted... or so he thinks. We unpack some of the series' most powerful and emotional moments — from the iconic "you are stronger than you think" scene to Superman's final act of selflessness. We also share our full thoughts on the series as a whole, how it ties into the new Superman movie, and why this might just be the perfect Superman story.
