This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts dive into the chaos, brilliance, and pure comic-book weirdness of Grant Morrison's Batman/Deadpool from DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1. Morrison throws the Dark Knight into Deadpool's reality-bending orbit, and the results are exactly as wild as you'd expect. The crew breaks down how the story twists Gotham grit with meta-madness, why Morrison is the perfect writer to blend these two icons, and what this crossover says about both heroes at their core. From razor-sharp dialogue to fourth-wall shenanigans and unexpected emotional beats, we unpack every layer of this creator-driven collision between the Batman mythos and Marvel's most chaotic mercenary. Tune in for a deep, energetic breakdown of one of the strangest—and most entertaining—team-ups in modern comics. Please leave us a review on ITunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters!

Review Est Sularis Uth Mithas by Scott Berachuski This is a tale about a Solamnic Knight racing to free his beloved from the grip of a Green Dragon. He keeps flashing to her face and memory as he charges toward the dragon. The encounter is brief, and the knight plunges his sword into the dragon’s heart as the dragon closes its mouth around him. He mutters the Oath and hears his wife tell him that she loves Ulrick, the knights. It's a quick story, gets right to the point, but it offers nothing other than the faith this knight has on facing seemingly insurmountable odds for honor. I am left feeling nothing about him, the woman the dragon had, or the dragon. Freedom's Pride by Paul B. Thompson Vitrad, Commander, Lord, dark knight Lord Livskil, Lord of Qualinesti, dark knight, lord of the black hall Loren Swamp Adder, ship Mercenaries Lioness, Zoran, Caravel with Gnomefire, Qualinesti This is the story of Lord Vifrad, a Knight of Takhisis who is summoned to Lord Livskil's audience in Qualinesti. Apparently some elves who were to hand over their treasures fled the forest./ Vifrad was assigned to find them and bring them and their wares back. He left, and found the elves fleeing with mercenaries who turned on them. The knights fought off the mercenaries and chained the qualinesti to their oars. They began to return when another ship started pelting them with Gnomish Fire, basically greek oil I believe. They were forced to surrender to this ship, and it ended up being the lioness, who now is qualinesti not kagonesti I guess. She took the elves and rewarded the knights with their lives for saving the elves. Then she gave a flag with a lion on it and the words freedom’s pride beneath, wrapped around a cannon ball. I assume this story is connected to another story I have yet to read. For when Vitrad returns it to his Lord Livskil and reiterated what happened, he is assigned to hunt down and capture the lioness. It was an okay story, I wish there was more character to the characters. They all felt like cutouts of bad guys rather than individuals. Sargas' Night of Revenge by Don Perrrin Lord Trenak, Minotaur Vras, died Lekras, female minotaur Emas, having affair, married to Lekras Vromas, Vras' dad This was a fun story about clan Trenak, minotaurs who on Sargas' Night, ended up betraying one another and killing each other. Sargas was so upset by their actions and dishonor, he cursed them to repeat the act every year on Sargas' Night. They were tormented for a thousand years, until the chaos war, and one night Sargas didn't return. They slowly learned that he wouldn't return and were led by the grandson Vras in recognizing why they all turned against one another, his mother killed his father for having an affair, and that made fighting inevitable. They all realised they didn’t have to repeat this act, and began enjoying themselves, learning to accept that which they cannot control, and broke the cycle of violence. It was a fun story, and boy are they going to get a surprise when Takhisis starts commanding the dead, and Sargas eventually returns! Sharing the Luck by Linda P. Baker Grako, old man, tophite Risha, male Meryl Ark Lyric, old man This is an interesting story about two thieves who begin the story by killing a mountain dwarf and robbing him. They return to an inn to split the goods, and one of them, Risha, is wearing a bracelet from their robbery. The other Grako begins to distribute the loot but Risha seems disinterested, acting very strange. Then he leaves and Grakop decides to test him, thinking he is going to try to kill him and take it all. But Risha really is disinterested and this change in behavior is worrying Grako. Then the next morning Risha is gone, and Grakjo goes after him, certain he is being swindled somehow. He finds Risha talking to an old wizard, and Grako demands to hold the bracelet, Risha refuses and a struggle ends in Risha’s death. Grako dons the bracelet and its power begins to work, making him whole. Meaning, a whole thoughtful and respectable person. He planned on killing the mage, but instead thinks he will let him go. This is interesting to me because we never really discuss what makes a thief or murderer a thief or murderer. It's really because there is something broken in them, something that they either never had or lost, a semblance of humanity. This bracelet restores that, and it's a crazy interesting item to consider dro[[ping into a campaign and seeing it play out. The War Chest by Kevin T. Stein Sir Dammerman, Knight of Solamnia, teacher Sir Ray Stick Man Hourglass – glory forever Abraxis, warrior – dark knight This was a story about glory, and the seeking of it even when you are past your prime. Sir Dammerman is a Solamnic Knight who teaches the younger generations. The young knights grow restless and ask about glory and riches. The knights end up sharing some loot acquired in battle against ogres. Dammerman sees a chest and instantly, as if in a dream only he experiences, a stick man appears offering him glory in battle against Abraxis, a renown Dark Knight warrior. At first he refuses, then through cajoling, he relents and says that he is interested. He is shown an hourglass with sand the color of the Abyss. He is presented with a bargain, the chance to find glory against Abraxis before the sand drains. He accepts the bargain and wins in battles, making him seem a true hero with endless energy and strength. His knights cheer his anime and he has glory. Finally it comes time to face off against Abraxas and he is defeated. Stick man appears and tells him that he tricked him into taking his soul, and he will fight in the abyss for eternity never knowing rest now. He will also offer it to his son, as he has offered it to many knights before Dammerman. As he was dying in defeat he tells his son not to make bargains for glory, and dies. It’s a long winded story that I enjoyed, though I wish they would have named the Stick Man. It addresses our innate capacity vs our desires, and in fantasy there is always a price to be paid if we are to exceed our ability. Flight of Fancy by Jeff Crook Klaus, Solamnic, flying machine Professor H, gnome Bee Juice Extractor This was a silly story about a human named Klaus who was piloting a gnomish flying machine toward Sancrist when he crashed. He was saved by gnomes who brought him to Mount Nevermind, and introduced him to famous gnome inventors. THey explained the machine was a bee juice extractor not a flying machine and they were perplexed on how a human could have repaired a crashed Bee Juice extractor in Solamnia. Pyrothraxus heard through the grape vine that a Solamnic was in Mount Nevermind and insisted it must be aspy, and that the gnomes should turn him over. They decided to make improvements to the bee juice extractor and fly Klous home instead. Pyrothraxus left the mountain and started chasing them when the gnomes decided to dump the honey to increase their speed. It fell into Pyrothraxus' mouth and when he breathed fire, it exploded in his face, sending them crashing into Solamnia, where they found another human inventor who said he may be able to fix the fBee Juice Extractor when a fully bandaged up Klous came in insisting he should not repair the ship, clearly traumatized both physically and emotionally by the experience. And that was it. It was the best case of a gnome story, short, silly, and done. The Deep, Deep, Dark, Dark Place by Kevin James Cage Glug, gully dwarf male Blurd, gully dwarf female Raddoc Stonebuilder, dwarf Thurgood Strongarm, dwarf Warden What!? This story was crazy. So two gully dwarves, Glug and Blurd are in a deep deep dark dark place when they hear singing and commotion. They investigate to see dwarves mining and talking about unionizing. They decide the dwarves are looking for treasure and they think they can lead the dwarves, but they don't want to be seen in case they are mean. So they use their stick which makes them invisible, but it doesn’t, and they start helping the men by throwing gems at them. The dwarves see the Aghar but don't want to engage with them, so they pretend they can’t see them, only pick up the ems. Then one time the Aghar directs them to the treasures cave, and the dwarves all go to it, only to be consumed by a stone dragon or sorts. The Aghar thank their pet treasure for getting rid of the dwarves. That was the story, the gully dwarves were working with the dragon to lure the dwarves to their deaths, it made a whole new view of the symbiotic nature of gully dwarves with the denizens of the deep, and recontextualized the whole story from the beginning. It was a lot of fun. Catch of the Day by Jean Rabe Redge, kobold, fishing Malay, kobold Scar Chest, Bugbear Bear Snout, Bugbear One Eye, Bugbear Ettin Brown Spider What an unexpected story. This begins with a pair of kobolds who are fishing. They say that they took the magic fishing pole from some gully dwarves they killed, consuming one of them. Then three bugbears came upon them, and killed some of them, but the bugbears also wanted to fish. Next came an ettin who attacked the bugbears and killed them, then began fishing as well. Finally a brown spider climbed onto the ettin and bit it, poisoning the ettin, which died and sank beneath the river. The fishing pole floated down stream, then turned around and came back upstream. The whole story is about one creature consuming another all the while each were the catch of the pole's itself. It's a very odd, quick little tale that subverted all expectations. Lost Causes by Nancy Varian Berberick Usha Majere Haria, elf Maddoc Aquestos, mage Eline Carowel Take her to haven, white rush river Taria, elf What a beautiful story. Usha Majere is needing someone to escort a homely woman named Eline to a to-be husband in Haven. A handful of elves and a mage named Maddoc accepted the task. Usha gave Maddoc a charm to give to the husband. Maddoc looked at this homely girl and reflected how ugly she was, she should feel lucky to have any husband. As they began to travel, they were set upon by brigands. The elves and brigands were all killed, and Maddoc was swept away by the White Rush river. He was awakened by Eline, and they realised they were safe, they began preparing to continue the trip to Haven, when they saw a Qualinesty man and woman enter a boat with their baby, and arrows reach them from the shore. THey were fleeing for their lives, but went under the water. Maddoc and Eline ran to the river as the mother tried to pass off her baby. Before they could get to it, they were swept away, and so they hid from the archers on the other shore. They eventually left and Eline was sobbing as if the baby were her own. It was relayed that Eline was marrying the old man so he would fund her fathers efforts at saving others from the Dragon overlords and Dark Knights. Then Maddoc looked at the necklace and was overcome by love for this homely girl because he finally saw her inner beauty. They made love that night, and the next morning Eline was distant and demanded Maddoc take her to Haven. He didn’t want to, he wanted her, but she insisted it was the only way to help others, which is all she cared about. While this made Maddoc love her more, he relented and delivered Eline. He left and began returning to Usha in Solace. It was such a beautiful story that is so similar to a ton of 80's films I watched as a kid. In the end Maddoc was the lost cause, not the girl, for he only saw outward beauty until Eline. Blood Ties by John Brown Elium, brother, older, dead Oleth, brother, younger 15 Tylor Hunchback/Spawn of Onysablet Fessik Father dead Mother, 2 sisters wounded This was a touching story about two brothers, Elium and Oleth, who were out hunting and chased by a Taylor. Once the creature passed them, they raced back home to find their family gone. They asked the neighbors and a slave came and took many of the villagers. The brothers chased down the wagon and attacked the hunchback wagon driver, let out their family and neighbors, but their father was dead. Many of the family members were hurt. The older brother nearly killed the hunchback wagon driver but Oleth talked him down from it. They left, only to have the hunchback catch up and attack them, revealing himself as a Dragonspawn of Onysablet. He killed Elium, the older brother, and Oleth wrestled the spawn, throwing him off the wagon over a bridge and it smashed on the rocks below. Then he collected his brother’s body and set it on the seat next to him. It is just a brutal tale of two brothers trying to do right in a cruel dystopian world. I enjoyed it. Shard's Memory by Chris Pierson Morovik Narrowchap, male dwarf 5 years after Chaos War Shard Ironsmelt, female dwarf Shadow Wight can return memory Severus stonehand Skree, tavern owner This is set 5 years after the Chaos War. The dwarves who now call themselves the twice born, after having forgotten all of the dead in Thorbardin, are reclaiming the kingdom, and cleaning it up. However there are still random shadow wights roaming its halls. There is also a rumor that if you capture a shadow wight, it can tell you about the dead, those who were wiped from memory. We start with Morovik and Shard, two dwarves who have found each other, as they repopulated the kingdom and have started connecting on a romantic level. Shard however is obsessed with her past, as she cannot recall any of it. In fact, only the etchings of buildings are left to tell of who was lost in the war. She believes she is of the ironsmelt clan, but has no proof, as that entire clan has been wiped from memory. Then she overhears of a shadow wight in deep tunnels from a bartender friend, and plans to go find and trap it so she can learn who she is. Morovik is trying to talk her out of it due to its inherent danger and wants to leave Thorbardin with her and start a whole new life as Morovik and Shard. But she cannot move past her, well past. She leaves and he goes with her as he loves her and wants to protect her. They find the shadow wight and discover that there are two! They engage in battle, and she accidentally kills the one she is fighting. Then Morovik is wounded and close to dying from a wound. She tells the shadow wight she will kill it if it doesn’t tell her who she is. It says that it can tell her, if she watched her lover die. All she has to do is nothing, and she will know her past. But that is more than she can do. Content, finally, with who she is rather than who she was, she kills the shadow wight, and saves Morovik's life. It’s a beautiful story about love conquering all. And the notion that your past is less important than who you are now, and where you move into the future. It again, reminds me of the film the Iron Giant and that wonderful phrase, you are who you choose to be. Tactics by Richard A. Knaak Sir Tempian, Knight of Solamnia Lord Cornwell, Knight of the Rose Chieftain Geyver, male half-ogre half-elf This was an interesting story about the evolution of Ogres in the Fifth Age. The Knights of Solamnia under Rose Night Lord Cornwell decided to train the ogres to defend against the Knights of Takhisis, a sort of ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend' situation. The ogres are led by their Chieftain Geyver, a half elf, half ogre. The Solamnics don't trust the ogres but they continue to struggle to train them. Then it is noted that Dark Knights are in the area, the chieftain leads the knights to them, and they defeat them in battle, but one knight flees and they have to stop him, lest he tell others that the Knights of Solamnia are training ogres. This must be kept secret. When they give chase and catch him, the Dark Knight relays that they fight without honor and have killed their men, this leads Cornwell to realise Geyver has been double dealing and killing without the honor they were trained. Then the Dark Knight’s main force surrounds them as they try to flee. Suddenly, ogres hidden in the mountains above trigger massive rock slides defeating many of the Dark Knights, and they mop up the rest.Geyver tells the Knights that they have learned all they can from the Knights, but ogre tactics clearly win out against the Dark Knights. He lets them leave with their lives. This is a great story about the necessity of breaking conventions to live in the troubled fifth age of Krynn, and the lengths organizations will go to defeat their enemies. The Raid on the Academy of Sorcery by Margaret Weis Palin Majere Ulin Majere Lucy Thunder Powder Caramon Majere This final story is one I have read and reviewed on this channel before. Ulin Majere is frustrated at his progress in learning and mastering magic. In fact, all magic has begun to fail, even the wild sorcery. But this is affecting everyone, even the Dragon Overlords. Ulin is interested in a sorceress Lucy who thinks she will leave the Academy of Sorcery to go teach elsewhere, when word comes of an impending attack on Solace. Most of the town gathers together as they create a militia to confront the Dark Knight and Dragon Overlord forces coming from Qualinesti. Berylinthranox is slowly losing her magic and has set up this diversion so that she can have her forces assault the Academy to steal its magical artifacts. Ulin has created what he calls Thunder Powder, it's just black powder, and when they learn of the coming forces, they build aton of it, setting it up to explode if the dragon's forces reach the artifact room. As the forces invade, Ulin and Lucy try to ignite the powder to no avail, and flee before being captured. Simultaneously, the militia learns of the feint and Palin flees to the Academy. Then the draconian forces break open the door and it ignites the powder completely destroying the Academy in jets of flame. As the dragons flee wounded, they see Palin standing in shock at his beloved academy in ruins and capture him, bringing him to Beryl. This leaves Ulin scarred and swears of ever using the Thunder powder again. This was fun to revisit and reflect on how Palin was caught and how the Academy was destroyed, as this assets up the War of Souls wonderfully. Look, the collection wasn't the best, but it had some entertaining stories, and it just reinforces my love of reading rather than listening to these stories. The narrators do their best but frankly, it's never as good as it sounds in my own head. If you are a Dragonlance fan, definitely tread the collection. If you want a bit of a prequel of the War of Souls, it would also be worth a read. But if you are just a casual fan, I think you could skip this collection without missing out. Outro And that's it for my review of Rebels and Tyrants edited by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. What did you think of the anthology? Did you connect with any of these stories?

Cette semaine, dans votre podcast BD favori, on vous propose de parler de Batman Dark Age, le récit qui revient sur comment Bruce Wayne, playboy mondain de Gotham, est devenu le Chevalier Noir qui fait régner la justice sur la ville.On vous voit venir : encore une origin story ! Oui, mais cette fois, c'est Mark Russell à l'écriture, avec son style politisé, social et toujours un peu piquant. Il prend le God Damned Caped Crusader pour en faire une satire de l'Amérique.Au dessin, on retrouve Mike Allred, toujours aussi pop et acidulé, un vrai régal visuel.On vous en parle dans l'émission, et vous pouvez retrouver le comics chez Urban Comics. Batman Dark Age, une fausse origin story classiqueDans Batman Dark Age, on suit le jeune Bruce Wayne, héritier de l'une des plus grandes familles de Gotham, dont la vie bascule le soir où ses parents sont assassinés sous ses yeux. Ce traumatisme le pousse à parcourir le monde pour apprendre les arts martiaux, la stratégie et la justice pour protéger sa ville devenue un nid de corruption et de crime. Une quête initiatique qui le mène à construire son identité de justicier masqué, symbole de… Bon, ok. Oui. Je sais.Vous avez déjà lu cette histoire mille fois, et vous pouvez sans doute la réciter avant même de finir cette phrase. Et c'est là que Dark Age devient intéressant, parce que Mark Russell ne cherche pas à refaire l'origine de Batman, mais à s'en servir comme prétexte. Il revisite la légende avec une lecture politique et sociale acide. Petite précision utile : Batman Dark Age est en quelque sorte un spin-off de Superman Lost Age, un autre titre où Mark Russell pose les bases de son univers. Nous, on n'a pas lu Superman Lost Age, mais visiblement, ça peut apporter un contexte supplémentaire. Rassurez-vous, Dark Age reste parfaitement compréhensible tout seul, même si les lecteurs de l'autre série y verront sans doute quelques clins d'œil en plus. Deux auteurs atypiques dans l'industrieMark Russell s'est clairement fait une place à part dans le monde des comics. Il vient souvent là où on ne l'attend pas, que ce soit avec The Flintstones, Exit Stage Left : The Snagglepuss Chronicles ou, plus récemment, One-Star Squadron. Sa marque de fabrique, une écriture engagée, mais jamais pesante. Il aime prendre des personnages archi connus pour parler de l'Amérique, de ses contradictions et de ses absurdités. C'est son style, toujours un peu ironique, mais avec un vrai fond derrière, qui donne toute sa saveur à Dark Age. Mike Allred, lui, est l'un des auteurs les plus reconnaissables du comics indépendant. Impossible de parler de sa carrière sans évoquer Madman, son personnage fétiche, qu'il a créé et développé avec Laura Allred aux couleurs. C'est un titre culte, tellement marqué par leur identité visuelle qu'on ne pourrait pas l'imaginer signé par quelqu'un d'autre. Leur travail commun a façonné tout ce qui fait le charme d'Allred aujourd'hui : les couleurs pop, les contours nets, l'énergie rétro et ce petit côté psychédélique. On en avait déjà parlé dans l'émission, notamment quand on avait consacré un épisode au Silver Surfer de Dan Slott et Mike Allred dans la saison 3. Et oui, je le redis encore ici : c'est l'une des plus belles histoires d'amour de Marvel.Sur Batman Dark Age, Allred garde cette même sincérité graphique tout en donnant un côté vintage, mais dynamique à la relecture de Mark Russell. Le style pop d'Allred dans un Gotham sombreJe n'aurais jamais parié sur Mike Allred pour un récit se déroulant dans l'univers sombre et gothique de Batman. Sur le papier, son style pop très années 70 semble loin du Dark Knight torturé qu'on connaît.Et pourtant, ça fonctionne étonnamment bien. Par moments, on a presque l'impression de revoir un épisode de la série Batman 66 avec Adam West, avec ce mélange de kitsch assumé et d'énergie colorée. Comme toujours, Allred est généreux. Ses planches débordent d'idées, son découpage est vivant, ses personnages ont ce charme rétro immédiat. Ce n'est pas du tout le grim and gritty God Damn Batman, mais ça apporte une vraie fraîcheur.Et sur six numéros, ça passe très bien.

Let's learn all about the location and history of the heart of Takhisis' empire in Krynn, the evil city of Neraka.

Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Neraka. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron by following the links in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance media using my affiliate links. I am referencing DL14 Dragons of Triumph, The Atlas of the Dragonlance World, Tales of the Lance boxed set, War of the Lance, and Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebooks for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion Neraka lies cradled in a high valley of the Khalkist Mountains, a region infamous for its barren peaks, volcanic scars, and broken, fissured plains. The Plains of Neraka stretch outward like a scar, a yellow-brown wasteland cracked with hundreds of crevasses. Some belch sulfurous smoke or even pillars of flame. Others simply yawn open into darkness. Even the roads leading to Neraka were carved by slaves—fine stone highways that bridge fissures and cut through the hostile terrain toward three major destinations: Sanction to the south, Estwilde to the north, and the scattered mountain tracks to the east and west. The mountains around the city are harsh and dry. Streams vanish into dust, thunderstorms turn the proud roads into rivers of mud, and the volcanic peaks sometimes smoke with an ominous glow. Travelers claim the very land seems hostile… almost alive. It's here—amid harsh rock and sulfur—where Takhisis chose to plant the seed of her empire. The name Neraka is older than the Cataclysm. Long before humans settled the valley, the High Ogres ruled a northern city called Narakid. Humans took the land long before 1300 PC… but when the fiery mountain fell during the Cataclysm, that early Neraka vanished beneath destruction. Centuries later—after the world was broken—settlers found something strange in an isolated glade: a twisted root of stone, all that remained of the Kingpriest's temple from Istar. When they built a settlement around it, they believed that they had rediscovered the original Neraka. But they were wrong. That root had been planted there—intentionally—by Takhisis. In the second century after the Cataclysm, the Dark Queen chose this glade as the birthplace of her return. From the stone root grew the Temple of Darkness, a sprawling, organic, unnatural structure that would become the beating heart of her new empire. And around that temple grew a new Neraka… the Neraka the world would come to fear. Neraka is divided like rings around a wound: 1. The Outer Bailey. The outermost ring is a maze of chaos—dense streets jammed with brothels, slave pens, ramshackle huts, open markets, foul-smelling alleys, and mobs of desperate or dangerous people. Goblins haggle with ogres. Human criminals brush shoulders with mercenaries. And the Dark Knights' barracks stand neatly just beyond the squalor, an unsettling reminder that order here comes only from fear. 2. The Inner Bailey. Inside the first walls, buildings press tightly together under the shadow of watchtowers. Smithies, supply stores, military workshops, and housing for the Dragonarmies fill these cramped quarters. Each army maintains its own heavily guarded district. Rivalries run hot, and even in the city’s prime, fights between soldiers were so common that Takhisis's personal troops often had to break them up. 3. The Heart of the City. At the center once stood the terrible Temple of Darkness—a massive, living fortress where the Dragon Highlords met under the watchful gaze of the Queen of Darkness. After the War of the Lance, the temple collapsed inward, disappearing into a vast sinkhole. Its blackened stones litter the southern valley, poisonous to life even centuries later. Nothing grows where the temple fell—just bleeding rock and sulfurous fumes, a wound on Krynn that refuses to heal. Beneath all three layers lies the Undercity: a spiderweb of caves, tunnels, sewers, and catacombs. It connects the outer districts, inner quarters, and even the forgotten dungeons beneath the Temple. Many use the Undercity to avoid guards—but horrors lurk below, remnants of experiments, monsters, and things twisted by the temple's dark magic. During the Age of Despair, Neraka became the shining—if grotesque—capital of Takhisis's Dragon Empire. Criminals, mercenaries, cultists, and the desperate flocked there. Under Ariakas, the Dragon Highlord, the first Dragonarmies took shape here. By 348 AC, the city pulsed with soldiers, draconians, ogres, goblins, spies, and slaves. Riches from early victories in the War of the Lance poured in. Streets overflowed. Crime flourished. Rival armies brawled openly. And yet—strict order remained whenever the Highlords commanded. This was the heart of the Queen of Darkness herself. The center of evil on Ansalon. And it all came crashing down in 352 AC. When the Whitestone Army closed in, the Heroes of the Lance infiltrated the city. They reached the Temple of Darkness… and destroyed it from within, triggering chaos. The Dragonarmies turned on one another in a frenzy for control, shattering the city in the process. Neraka burned. Its armies scattered. Its goddess vanished. After Takhisis's defeat, Neraka remained a haven for evil—but without unity. The Dark Knights, newly formed and led from Storm's Keep, mostly ignored the broken city. A Lord Mayor ruled for a time… until the rise of Mirielle Abrena. After the Chaos War, she seized Neraka by force, executed the mayor, and declared herself Governor-General. Under Abrena, Neraka again rose in power—until her assassination. Morham Targonne then moved the Knight's capital to Jelek, sending Neraka into decline. But after the War of Souls, the Dark Knights returned once more. Neraka is—once again—their seat of power, grim as ever. Neraka teems with factions: The Nerakan Guard, led by Captain Joras Gelt, maintains harsh order outside the temple grounds. The Red Watch, Blue Watch, Green Regiment, and Black Guard—elite units of sivaks, kapaks, and bozaks—defend the Dragonarmies' interests. The Hidden Light, an underground resistance led by Talent Orren and Lute the Pawnbroker, fights quietly against the influence of darkness. The population is a volatile mix: humans, draconians, ogres, goblins, dwarves, minotaurs, and even the occasional giant. Trade is thriving but grim—slaves, mercenaries, weapons, stolen goods, and black-market items flowing between Sanction, Khur, and Zhakar. Neraka remains a symbol of tyranny and ambition. Its streets are dangerous. Its politics are ruthless. Its shadow stretches across all of Taman Busuk. And yet… it is alive. A boiling cauldron of power, violence, and fear—waiting for history to turn once more. Where darkness gathers, Neraka stands. Outro And that is all I have to say about Neraka. What do you think of this center of evil? Have you ever played the War of the Lance campaign and invaded Neraka? And do you think the town will ever rise again as a center of evil might in the Age of Mortals? Leave a comment below.

Nol-vember continues this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we charge headlong into what is maybe the greatest superhero film ever made: The Dark Knight (2008).

Grab a drink and prepare to discuss a film that still defines cinematic villainy.This week, we are dissecting Heath Ledger's legendary, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker, who isn't interested in money or power, but in proving that all of society's rules are meaningless. We'll be talking about the film's philosophical backbone, exploring the tragic fall of Harvey Dent, and debating whether Batman's moral line—that he "won't kill"—is a strength or a dangerous liability when facing a truly limitless enemy. It's a discussion about necessary lies, the burden of heroism, and the ultimate sacrifice required to save Gotham's soul.If you love deeply layered crime thrillers, philosophical debates masked as superhero movies, or just want to appreciate the absolute brilliance of a film that transcends its genre, this is the episode you've been waiting for. We're blending our analysis of its narrative depth with our usual casual banter, making this an essential chapter in our month dedicated to Christopher Nolan.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

On this dark and rain-soaked episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz step into the shadows of Gotham to dissect Matt Reeves' brooding detective-driven epic — The Batman (2022). The crew explores Robert Pattinson's younger, more unhinged version of Bruce Wayne as he navigates a city drowning in corruption, fear, and unanswered riddles. From Paul Dano's chilling take on The Riddler to Zoë Kravitz's magnetic Catwoman and Colin Farrell's unrecognizable Penguin, the guys dig into the film's noir influences, world-building, themes, sound, cinematography, and bold approach to Batman's mythos. Expect compelling analysis, jokes, debates, and maybe even a few riddles as the hosts decide where The Batman stands among the many versions of the Dark Knight.

Hosts Doug Stuart and Cody Cook have a lively exploration of movies and their deeper significance beyond mere entertainment. The conversation kicks off with playful banter about the differences—or pretensions—between the terms "film," "movie," and "cinema," before diving into their personal journeys into movie appreciation, including the influence of family, childhood favorites, and the allure of old TV comedies.As the discussion unfolds, Doug Stuart and Cody Cook tackle how movies clarify, challenge, and shape values, examining the artistic, message-driven, and thematic layers beneath the surface. They consider why storytelling is central to human experience and how films, like the Bible, can illuminate questions about morality, suffering, and meaning.The episode highlights how both Christian and libertarian themes can emerge from unlikely cinematic places. From the rich symbolism and messaging in blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Minority Report to the nuanced character dynamics in The Dark Knight trilogy, Cody Cook breaks down how central planning, redemption, forgiveness, and the problem of evil play out on the big screen. The conversation also covers cult classics, overlooked gems, genre preferences, and how personal references and pop culture literacy shape one's perspective on film.Listeners are invited to reconsider the films they love—not just as sources of entertainment, but as vehicles for reflection, values, and even theological conversation. Whether you're a cinephile, a casual watcher, or someone looking for libertarian or Christian undertones in your favorite movies, this episode is packed with recommendations, insight, and plenty of food for thought.Have a film that fits the libertarian or Christian mold?

Yarbs and Will are back and today they open with the ACC's “Halloween Massacre,” Dabo's ref-blasting and why officiating needs accountability just like coaches and players. Then it's CFP rankings hysteria vs. reality, an Oregon gut-check, and a detour into band lore—from LSU's 66-year-old tuba rookie to Ohio State's family “dot the i” moment.The guys rip into the ESPN vs. YouTube TV carriage fight and the streaming sprawl that made “cutting the cord” a joke, hit NASCAR with Denny Hamlin's heartbreak, and serve up Get Off My Lawn: pharma-commercial dance numbers, and why Dallas is absolutely not “America's Team.” They also rapid-fire the week's oddities (Tom Brady's cloned dog), Tuberville's tone-deaf comments, and their 3-on-3 of most overrated movies (prepare yourself: The Dark Knight, Titanic, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, Citizen Kane catch strays).Finally, they celebrate the Panthers' stunner over Green Bay, size up Saints-week stakes, debate Bills-Chiefs regular season vs. playoff truth, and wonder if Kyler's time in Arizona is over with Jacoby Brissett thriving. Chaos, jokes, and strong takes—exactly how Breaking Sports likes it.

Batman has an 85-year legacy filled with reinvention. What made now the right time to bring the Dark Knight into the Skybox Metal Universe, and why was he chosen as the first DC hero to headline this line?2. Metal Universe is known for its cutting-edge printing innovations — from etched foil to die-cuts and lenticular cards. Can you walk us through the technology that makes these cards stand out physically in-hand and how that translates to the Gotham aesthetic?3. Each Metal Universe line has its own visual identity, whether cosmic, heroic, or elemental. How did your team translate Batman's world — all shadow, grit, and neon — into the visual language of the brand?4. This set spans decades of Gotham history. What was the process for selecting which eras, storylines, and character designs to include, and how did you balance nostalgia with innovation?5. The set features signatures from legendary creators like Gail Simone and Marv Wolfman. What does it mean to have the actual architects of Gotham's mythology participate in this project, and how do their cards fit into the collector experience?6. How do you feel about people selling these on ebay?7. How do you pick out art?8. Your thoughts on the use of a.i. art?8. Can you tease any product on the way?9. (Fun one!) If you were designing your own “Grant Sandground” insert card for the set, what kind of foil finish or chase rarity would it have — and which Gotham character would you want to share a dual card with?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Ever seen Batman trade stocks? Well, today's your lucky day. It's Halloween, and Gotham's favorite billionaire is stepping out of the shadows to deliver a masterclass in trading, justice, and pure entertainment. This isn't your typical livestream. It's part comedy, part finance, and all OVTLYR power.From the moment the show starts, you'll know this isn't business as usual. The “Dark Knight of Wall Street” breaks down how one tiny tweak to an exit signal could've taken performance from 834% to 1,140% in just five years. Yeah, that's right—one single change in a data-driven strategy produced insane results. If you've ever wanted to understand what makes OVTLYR's behavioral analytics so effective, this is the perfect episode to watch.But don't expect a dry lecture. This stream has everything—sarcasm, inside jokes, and even a little friendly chaos in the chat. It's a mix of fun and finance that keeps you engaged while you learn why discipline, data, and clear rules beat emotion every single time.Here's what's packed inside this episode:✅ The new exit signal that changed everything – a simple rule that tripled performance potential.✅ Why “value zones” matter – how to identify when to step in and when to step back.✅ Capital efficiency explained – why it's the secret metric serious traders never ignore.✅ The right way to roll options – when to take profits and how to re-enter with purpose.✅ The mindset behind OVTLYR's success – how to trade with precision, confidence, and justice.Throughout the stream, the “Caped Quant” walks through real-world examples using ETFs like QQQ and stocks like SoFi, showing exactly how the system flags opportunities—and more importantly, when to stay out. You'll see how capital efficiency reveals just how powerful OVTLYR's timing can be. When a stock's active trade time is less than 40% yet still beats buy-and-hold, that's not luck. That's strategy.And if you're wondering how this all ties back to OVTLYR's platform, it's simple. The platform helps traders make smarter, faster, and less emotional decisions.

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.  No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender.  With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight.  From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.  Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.As 2025 nears the end, so does the year of World's Finest, our yearlong celebration of Superman!  But don't worry, we have two big Superman rankings episodes left, including this one.  It's time we pay respect to Superman's foes – it's our ranking of the Superman cinematic villains!While not as robust as Batman's rogue gallery of film villains, no doubt there have been plenty of iconic Superman villain performances throughout the years.  To help Daniel and Kris count down this super villain list are return guests Aaron Sarnecky of the Anniversary Brothers Podcast, and fresh off our last episode taking Peacemaker, Bill George, host of the Should I Go See It Podcast.The crew discuss a plethora of Lex Luthors, General Zods, and of course, Ross Webster!  Speaking of Ross Webster, listen to Daniel speak glowingly about…Superman III?!?!  Yup.  It happened.  You'll find all this and more on another GREAT rankings episode! 

There's zero doubt, Absolute Batman Annual #1 will be one of the year's most talked-about comics. Featuring three stories by Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer, James Harren, Dave Stewart, Meredith McClaren, and Clayton Cowles, this hefty comic centers on the early Absolute Universe adventures of Bruce Wayne, revealing how that chonky Batmobile came to be, and just how Black Mask's party animals first encountered the Dark Knight. We read the comic a couple of weeks back, and the instant we flipped that last page, we were compelled to get Daniel Warren Johnson into a Zoom room. Thankfully, he obliged. Johnson's untitled story makes up the bulk of the Absolute Batman Annual. It propels Absolute Batman against a white supremacist horde, showcasing some of the most brutal action from the ongoing series so far, while doing so in a way that questions that violence's effectiveness. As Daniel Warren Johnson has showcased in other comics like Murder Falcon, Do a Powerbomb!, and his recent run on Transformers, badass, jaw-dropping visuals are only half his might as a creator. DWJ breaks hearts as often as he breaks bones. “It's in my blood and it's boiling, and I have to get it out.” In an exclusive conversation with Comic Book Couples Counseling, Johnson explains how his tale in the Absolute Batman Annual came to pass. We discuss his reluctance to contribute to the world so expertly crafted by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, and how one single image eventually caused him to put everything he had into this character and universe. Daniel Warren Johnson tells us why supplying only compelling, catastrophic action isn't enough for him as a storyteller. He requires more than an exclamation point to climax his stories. He needs a question. Absolute Batman Annual is now available from DC Comics. Make sure you're following Daniel Warren Johnson on Blue Sky, Instagram, and his Website. This Week's Sponsors Judge Dredd Megazine turns thirty-five years old this October, and it'll be celebrating with a very special issue perfect for first-time readers!

Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to Blade: Trinity (2004), the explosive horror-action comic book sequel directed by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight). The film marks the third chapter in Marvel's original vampire-slayer trilogy, led by Wesley Snipes (Demolition Man, New Jack City) as the half-human, half-vampire hunter Blade, battling to rid the world of bloodsuckers once and for all. This time, Blade faces his most dangerous enemy yet — the resurrected Dracula, known here as Drake, played by Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, Legends of Tomorrow). He's not alone in the fight: joining him are Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) as the wisecracking Hannibal King and Jessica Biel (The Illusionist, 7th Heaven) as the fierce and tech-savvy Abigail Whistler, daughter of Blade's longtime mentor. The film also stars Kris Kristofferson (A Star Is Born, Payback) reprising his role as Whistler, Parker Posey (Superman Returns, Dazed and Confused) as the stylish and scheming Danica Talos, and Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) in a supporting turn as Hedges, a weapons expert for the Nightstalkers team. Iconic and highly searched moments include the opening vampire raid, Ryan Reynolds' hilarious one-liners, Blade's showdown with Dracula, and the UV light final battle, all set to a pounding early-2000s soundtrack. Blending gothic horror, comic-book spectacle, and razor-sharp martial arts, Blade: Trinity brings the trilogy to a fiery close and showcases Snipes' final turn as the Daywalker.

In this dark and thrilling episode, I sit down with comics legends Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones to talk about their gothic team-up on a new Dracula graphic novel series — a fresh, nightmarish take on the Lord of the Undead that blends Hammer horror, classic literature, and modern comics craft. We also dive deep into their iconic Batman work. Matt Wagner reflects on his acclaimed retellings of the Dark Knight's formative years in Batman and the Monster Men and Batman and the Mad Monk, grounded updates of the original Detective Comics stories that shaped Gotham's early shadows. Meanwhile, Kelley Jones revisits his unforgettable Batman: Red Rain, a horror-infused Elseworlds classic that reimagines Batman as a literal creature of the night — a vampire battling Dracula himself. Plus: Kelley's eerie, emotional Deadman mini-series, their shared love of horror as mythmaking, and what it means to push iconic characters into darker, more psychological terrain. A must-listen for fans of Batman, monsters, and the art of gothic reinvention.
