#superman2025 #jamesgunn #dcuniverse There was a lot riding on James Gunn's first swing at Superman. It's the first major motion picture in his DC Universe and would mark a dramatic change of tone from Zack Snyder's last projects with everyone's favorite Kryptonian. Fortunately for all involved, it was a big hit at the box office --- but did it put wind in our capes? As two nerds for movies, comics, and comic book movies, you'll want to stick around and share your thoughts on not just this movie, but what it hints at for the future of this new chapter for DC Comics on the silver screen.

So instead of doing another [R]OHOTMU and wonder if the casual or new listeners know what the acronym stands for, we're going to make it easier on you and ourselves by just calling these random one-off character bio episodes “HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT….” Hopefully it catches on.This time out, since we are in the midst of the COBRA COMMANDER book, Shawn gives you as much of the low-down as possible on Cobra-La, the technologically advanced but not really technologically advanced hometown of Cobra Commander and a few other crusty denizens. We will learn about their purpose on Earth, the deal they made with Unicron and maybe even a little bit of the plot to G.I. JOE: THE MOVIE. There's not a ton out there about this place so we're doing out best. See you next week for more COBRA COMMANDER!Promo: G.I.

Frank and Thomas take on James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and dig into why this 2021 reboot stands out as one of DC's strongest entries. They break down the movie's balance of chaos and heart, the bold creative risks Gunn took, and how it set the stage for Peacemaker and the DCU's future. From standout performances to behind-the-scenes choices, they explore how this film redefined what a comic book movie could be. Timestamps & Topics: 00:00 Show open and intro to this week's challenge 00:17 James Gunn's career crossroads and DC opportunity 01:14 How Gunn handled David Ayer's original film with respect 02:04 Recurring collaborators, casting choices, and Gunn's style 04:02 Redemption, trust, and working with familiar talent 04:25 Scene-by-scene breakdown – the shocking beach opening 07:25 Watching Peacemaker before this film changes everything 08:27 Gunn's recurring parent/child themes in his work 09:43 Team intros at Belle Reve and Bloodsport vs. Peacemaker 12:20 Non-linear storytelling and bold early kills 14:46 Starro's comic book history and why Gunn always wanted him 17:29 Ratcatcher 2's emotional core and spin-off potential 19:10 Building connections – Ratcatcher 2 and Bloodsport parallels 21:10 Peacemaker/Bloodsport rivalry and payoffs 22:50 Polka-Dot Man's surprising depth 25:55 Harley Quinn's growth and breakout scene 31:53 “Fan art moments” and DC embracing color 36:40 King Shark as tragic comic relief 40:05 Gunn's comic panel approach to action 43:23 Final battle with Starro and visual payoffs 46:51 Government cover-ups and moral gray areas 49:13 Creature Commandos connection to this film 50:28 Critical reception, HBO Max impact, and pandemic release 53:47 Fun facts and production details 1:02:27 Why Peacemaker worked and the helmet that shouldn't 1:03:16 Ranking this film in the DCU and top 100 consideration 1:05:57 Planning the “Top 100” list for the show 1:06:22 Next challenge: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1E1 Key Takeaways: Gunn's creative freedom led to bold choices and deep character work. Emotional themes around family and redemption anchor the chaos. Ratcatcher 2 is the heart of the movie; Polka-Dot Man and King Shark surprise. Harley Quinn remains perfectly cast with Margot Robbie. The film's style embraces comic book colors and memorable “fan art moments.” This movie directly influenced Gunn's DCU leadership role. Quotes: “James Gunn works with people he trusts—and when he bets his career, he brings them along.” – Frank “Nothing in this movie is wasted. Every joke, every prop, every scene comes back in a meaningful way.” – Thomas “Harley Quinn isn't just chaos; she has lines she won't cross, and Gunn shows that without hitting you over the head with it.” – Frank “It's violent, it's heartfelt, and it's one of the most James Gunn movies ever made.” – Thomas Call to Action: Enjoyed this breakdown?

Jace and Rocky chat about the DC Comics titles for the week of June 30, 2025. It's a fifth Tuesday of the month so we get tons of Annuals, a Special and even an anthology. The anthology collects a ton of Superman family stories that are quite diverse in tone and a couple of them have what may the next up and coming artists at DC. The Long Halloween continues with some great art in it's own right and the ending of Gotham City Sirens is very satisfying. The Nightwing Annual gives us the origin of Olivia Pearce and Justice League Dark Tomorrow stars a mysterious time traveler who is working to stop the Omega Energy from destabilizign time. Finally the Titans Annual is an absolute masterclass character piece starrint Donna Troy and a must-read for any DC fan.

The boys look ahead to "DC K.O." and the rest of the fall lineup.

In this previously unreleased episode we muse over James Gunn's 'Superman'.This Superman exists in a world that immediately feels more "comic booky" than previous iterations – complete with Superman robots, a super-powered dog, and pocket dimensions that defy explanation. It's a deliberate step away from the gritty realism of previous DC films, embracing the fantastic elements that make comic books unique.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoIn the summer of 1984, at Phil Seulings New York Comic Con two membersof DC Comics staff teased an upcoming event that drew gasps of shockfrom the assembled crowd. It went something like this: " As you knowDC is planning a major year-long event starting in January that willreshape the DC Universe as you now know it. Many things will happenthat will startle you, but none will astonish you more than the end oftwo of DC's major stars. These two characters will be going awayforever". I was in the audience that day, and I had to pick up my jawfrom the floor.    Join you Mint hosts James, Keith, Richie, and Joe as they recapissues 7,8, and 9 of the epic DC event--Crisis on Infinite Earths. Andeven though it's been forty years, jaws will be dropping once again asthe startling events of issues 7 and 8, and 9 are vividly recalled,related and rehashed by this quartet of rabid raconteurs.   Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl) and Barry Allen (aka The Flash)heroically give their lives to save kith and kin (in issues 7 & 8respectively) from the ravages of the Anti-Monitor.   The guys cover an "alpha quadrant" of ground as they dive deeplyinto the plot and art of these three amazing Marv Wolfman and GeorgePerez issues.  And if those tidbits aren't enough to whet your appetite, wait tillyou hear Keith's retelling of how C.O.I.E. #8 was ten-year old Keith'sfirst comic! It's an origin story worthy of Showcase #4!

Jace sits down with writer Mark Waid to talk DC Comics at SDCC 2025. Mark is writing a ton of books for DC currently, too many to cover in their brief chat. The guys do touch on Justice League Unlimited and how it ties into DC KO. Plus Mark reveals just what Mister Terrific and the time-displaced "shadow: heroes will be up to during the event. When it comes to story & collaboration, Batman & Robin Year One is a dream project for Chris Samnee and Mark talks about the importance of bringing emotion to that story. Mark also discusses his love of working in different time periods and having a mix of projects that tie in closely to the overall universe but also having books that stand on their own, such as what he is building in Action Comics as we see Clark and the Kents learn what it means to be Superboy and grow into Superman. Finally the guys finish up talking about Mark's return to The Flash with Christopher Cantwell and how Impulse is living up to his name. There's a ton packed inot this chat so don't miss it.

Mike is riding off a DC Comics high so he decides to rank his Top 10 DC movies of all time. He also shares the Top 5 Worst and Top 5 Disappointments that left a bad taste in his mouth. Where does Superman (2025) rank on this list and the one movie that most people hate but makes his Top 10. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about I Know What You Did Last Summer where we see the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. It’s about a new group of friends who are terrorized by a stalker who knows about a gruesome incident from their past. What was the most frustrating part, what he hated about the fisherman killer and how the OGs did at reprising their roles. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the Weapons starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin and why it genuinely freaked him out. The trailer shows kids mysteriously leaving their homes and everyone in the town trying to figure out why. Mike also talks about Josh Brolin and how he was broke when one of his most famous movies was released. New Episodes Every Monday!

Is Superman Woke—or Just Wonderfully Human?   Can a superhero cut through the world's chaos better than a political debate or another sermon? New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore explore why Superman still strikes a cultural nerve—especially in the age of outrage and “wokeness” debates. From his immigrant origins to the often-overlooked theme of adoption, they unpack how James Gunn's 2025 reboot revives timeless questions about identity, belonging, moral courage, and kindness. This conversation is more than capes and kryptonite—it's a surprising, thoughtful, and even fun look at the stories shaping who we are.   (00:00) - Exploring the Resonance of Superhero Myths (07:24) - Fun That Connects To Deeper Needs (10:10) - A Jewish Immigrant's Myth (15:40) - Exploring James Gunn's Superman 2025 (23:06) - Is Superman Woke?  (27:04) - Kindness as a Countercultural Value (34:11) - Parenting With Superheroes and Morals (51:09) - Credits   Donate to Redeeming Babel   Resources mentioned in this episode: Russell Moore's article Why Superman Matters David French's column Kindness Is MAGA Kryptonite J.R.R.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. Seemingly from out of nowhere, Chris Condon appeared with the fantastic series That Texas Blood, with artist Jacob Phillips. Since that time, Condon has had his name attached to many more comics, including runs on Green Arrow at DC Comics, and Ultimate Wolverine, at Marvel. Chris talks with Josh about where he came from, and what motivates him to tell great stories above all, and how some encounters with supportive folks made all the difference. That and plenty of talent. Total Running Time: 01:18:59 Music:“True Believers"Bouncing Souls Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
