Frank and Squeaks dive headfirst into James Gunn's Superman, the movie that's recharging DC with new energy and old-school heart. They break down everything—from the pacing that mimics a stack of comics, to character performances, visual highs and lows, and why this might be one of the most human versions of Superman we've ever seen. They also debate Guy Gardner's scene-stealing turn, Lex Luthor's layered villainy, the potential setup for Bizarro, and what it all means for the future of the DC Universe. This one's packed, passionate, and full of geeky joy. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Welcome and Opening Thoughts 00:27 Initial Reactions and Hype Level 01:13 Fast Pacing and Comic Book Feel 02:10 James Gunn's Signature Style 03:30 Thoughts on the Plot and Accessibility for New Fans 04:20 Lex Luthor's Role and Future Setup 05:36 All-Star Superman Comparisons 06:00 Kryptonian Parents Twist and Its Impact 08:30 Cancel Culture and Superman's PR Weakness 09:58 Mr. Terrific and the Unexpected Standout 11:00 Guy Gardner's Surprising Depth and Humor 13:15 Hawkgirl and the Performance Letdown 15:00 The New Superman: Human, Hopeful, and Heroic 18:16 Lois Lane's Portrayal and Rachel Brosnahan's Performance 20:00 Daily Planet Crew: A Bit Too Involved? 22:30 Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor and the Two-Layered Villain 25:00 Engineer and Ultraman Discussion + Bizarro Theory 29:00 Visual Storytelling and Cinematography Highlights 32:00 CGI Thoughts and Krypto's Role 36:00 Green Lantern Constructs: Unique and Personality-Driven 38:30 Superman's Power Progression and Final Battle 40:30 Tone and Themes: Can This Superman Fit with Batman? 43:00 Final Thoughts on Justice League Potential 44:00 Favorite Scenes and End-Credit Surprises 47:00 Final Scores and Rewatchability 50:00 IMAX Worthy? Our Theatrical Recommendation 51:00 Closing Remarks Key Takeaways: James Gunn's Superman blends nostalgic charm with a modern, fast-paced narrative. David Corenswet's Superman is emotionally grounded and feels deeply human. Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, delivers a fresh take that balances public genius with private obsession. Guy Gardner and Mr. Terrific both exceed expectations, with standout scenes that highlight their personalities. The film's pacing mirrors a comic book run—nonstop but rewarding. The twist about Superman's Kryptonian parents adds emotional weight without breaking canon. Visual storytelling uses lighting—especially sunlight—as a powerful symbolic tool. Bizarro may be hinted at for future films, adding another exciting layer. While some characters like Hawkgirl were underwhelming, others like Krypto left a lasting impact. Quotes: “This is the Superman I pretended to be when I was running around the house as a kid.” – Frank “Lex Luthor isn't trying to rule the world—he's just obsessed with stopping Superman.” – Squeaks “It feels like you picked up a stack of DC comics and read them in one sitting.” – Squeaks “David Corenswet might be the most human Superman we've seen on screen.” – Frank Call to Action: Love what you heard?

While Rik Vollaerts' early draft of The Bookworm Turns was very different from what was broadcast, surely the final script is exactly what we saw? But no, that's never true; some changes always occur at the hands of the director, and perhaps the actors. A significant scene (and significant henchman) disappeared from this story as broadcast. Was it simply cut for time, or were there questions of taste? In the latest BAT BITS, Tim and Paul discuss the differences and what may account for them.

In this episode of our Mike Nichols marathon, we reunite with the battle-worn director to talk about a movie that took him out of his self-imposed Hollywood exile, Silkwood. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie contributes to the spawning of a crusader realism subgenre, the genesis of his fruitful collaboration with Nora Ephron and Meryl Streep and how the movie is both an important piece because it sheds light at an important story and a reflection of the director's personal awakening. We also talk about the many health and safety violations depicted in the movie, raise an eyebrow at the living conditions of the characters and even wonder what it would have been like if the company Karen Silkwood worked for was run by Batman villains.

We break down David Corenswet's earnest portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman (his first “my Superman” for many fans), Rachel Brosnahan's fiery Lois Lane (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Nicholas Hoult's cunning Lex Luthor (X‑Men & Nosferatu), Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific (X‑Men: First Class), Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl (The Last Of Us Season 2 & Dora and the Lost City), Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (Firefly), plus The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan from Barry) and Perry White (Wendell Pierce). The prior DCEU era form Zack Snyder had Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam! and Justice League—but now we look forward to upcoming DCU films: sequels to Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, The Batman 2, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl, Teen Titans, Clayface, Wonder Woman, plus The Authority and Swamp Thing.

Why has her father been gone for years? Why must she learn so many languages and fighting techniques and what's with all the lessons in seafaring? Then an attack on her home by a horde of steam-punk assassins delivers the first glimmer of an answer, when Lumen's savior reveals himself as her grandfather, the legendary Captain Nemo, one of the greatest characters in Victorian science fiction literature. A brand-new world of steam-punk adventure and thrills is about to open up for Lumen as she connects with the grandfather she never knew while together they take on a cabal of evil masterminds, intent on world domination . . . a world full of heroes and villains from Victorian adventure and fantasy fiction. Out September 3rd from Dark Horse Comics Gotham City: Year One From the publisher There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That's about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the “kidnapping of the century” as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) dive into Patty Jenkins's iconic 2017 blockbuster starring Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman; also in Fast & Furious), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor; Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Hippolyta; Gladiator), Robin Wright (Antiope; House of Cards), Danny Huston (Ludendorff; The Constant Gardener), David Thewlis (Ares/Sir Patrick; Harry Potter), Saïd Taghmaoui (Sameer; American Hustle), Ewen Bremner (Charlie; Trainspotting), Elena Anaya (Dr. Maru/Cheetah; The Skin I Live In), Lucy Davis (Etta; Shaun of the Dead) and more—all in one spoiler-packed breakdown. We go through unforgettable moments like the “No Man's Land” sequence, Diana's Amazon training, espionage with Steve, the Ares reveal, plus fan quotes like “It's hideous” and the emotional finale. We also place Wonder Woman within the DCEU (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Justice League, Wonder Woman 1984) and tie it into James Gunn's DCU roadmap—mentioning Superman, Zack Snyder and the future Supergirl and Clayface. We examine why this film revitalized the franchise, the cultural impact, and how it sets the stage for the new DC Universe. Also shout-out to James Gunn speculating Adria Arjona could be the next Diana under his DC reboot .

Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and enthusiastically as we all wish Henry Cavill got to do in even just one of his movies.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

In this 2006 conversation, legendary writer and editor Denny O'Neil joins Word Balloon to revisit his groundbreaking 1980s run on The Question, a series that helped redefine the character for a new generation. Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics, Vic Sage found new life under O'Neil's pen—philosophical, gritty, and deeply human.We also explore Denny's novel Helltown, which digs into Vic Sage's origin story in a bold new way. Longtime fans will notice some departures from past continuity, but the spirit—and sharp commentary—are pure O'Neil.Plus: Denny shares stories from his early days in comics, working under editors like Julie Schwartz and Stan Lee, and yes, there's some great Batman talk too—no surprise from the man who helped shape the Dark Knight for over three decades. A must-listen for fans of classic comics, noir storytelling, and one of the true legends of the mediu
Read transcriptWelcome back, intrepid trainers and portable pixel pioneers! This week on Play Comics, we're diving headfirst into the magical world where handheld gaming meets manga madness with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for the Game Boy Advance – those delightful remakes that proved sometimes going back to where it all began is exactly what the Pokédex ordered. Released in 2004, these Kanto classics didn't just give us shiny new graphics and wireless trading capabilities; they spawned an entire manga adaptation that turned Red, Blue, and Green's adventures into something far more dramatic than “gotta catch 'em all” – think more along the lines of “gotta survive mysterious vortexes and Team Rocket's Three Beasts while somehow not getting turned to stone”. Speaking of adventures, we're absolutely thrilled to have Connor joining us for this episode – yes, the same Connor from my local comic shop who has somehow managed to convince me that I need every single variant cover, limited edition, and “exclusive” release that walks through his door. Connor's wallet-draining superpowers are matched only by his encyclopedic knowledge of both gaming and comics, making him the perfect guide for our journey through the FireRed & LeafGreen saga that spans both pixels and panels. So grab your Game Boy Advance, dust off those manga volumes, and prepare for an episode that's more engaging than trying to catch a shiny Pokémon while Connor whispers sweet nothings about the latest Batman #1 variant in your ear. We'll explore how faithful the manga stayed to the gaming experience, whether adding interdimensional drama actually improved the “become the very best” formula, and why sometimes the best way to revisit a classic is to completely reimagine what “classic” means in the first place. Learn such things as: Does adding manga-level drama to Pokémon actually make the story better or just more confusing? How many times can you remake the same game before it stops being nostalgic and starts being repetitive? Why does Connor always know exactly which comic book I didn't know I needed until he until he mentions it? And so much more! You can find Connor at my local shop, if you're lucky and are there at the same time as him.
