THUNDERBOLTS SPOILER DISCUSSION! Superman KINDA Smiles! Sgt. Rock DELAYED! Main discussion will of course be about Thunderbolts tonight and there will be spoilers so make sure you have seen the movie!

We've got another week without the full complement of Guys, but plenty of Geeks. Robbie and Art remember beloved game show host, Wink Martindale, share news of a Star Trek Red Alert experience at Universal Hollywood, and resurrect DC Deathwatch as Art cancels his DC Universe subscription.  The Guys also humbly bundle a series of random nerdy news notes, before hearing from Robbie about his recent trip to NAB in Vegas. Find out what he saw and his thoughts on why this annual broadcaster's convention has less of an impact than in years past and some thoughts on what the future may hold. Hopefully an episode with all three Guys!

People love Batman. People love Apes. So when you combine them, you're bound yo get some fun comics, right? Well, sometimes. Patreon backer Dan Grote asked us to read some Batman and apes stories, and we read a delightful Golden/Silver Age story, a 90s story that had it's fun moments and a story that is proof that the New 52 could suck the joy out of pretty much anything. And we discuss how few Batman/Detective Chimp stories there are, which is a travesty.

This week, the boys discuss a possible story for Injustice 3 and how it could redeem the whole Injustice franchise. Injustice is a 2021 American adult animated superhero film based on the prequel comic series of the 2013 NetherRealm Studios video game Injustice: Gods Among Us, and based on characters from DC Comics. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, it is the 46th installment in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. The film is directed by Matt Peters from a story by Ernie Altbacker and stars Justin Hartley and Anson Mount as Superman and Batman, respectively. The film, set in a separate continuity from the main DC Universe, follows Superman's descent into madness after being tricked by Joker into killing his pregnant wife Lois Lane and detonating a nuclear weapon that destroys Metropolis. As Superman transforms the Earth into a police state to enforce global peace, Batman forms an underground resistance to oppose Superman and his allies.Like, comment, and subscribe for more content analyzing the greatest tales of DC and Marvel stories.

Before we say goodbye to the podcast, we're giving our final word on the state of #StarWars, #Marvel, and, for this episode in particular, the #DC Universe. We reminisce on the DC projects we've covered on the podcast, discuss some of the ones that never made it to see the light of day, and talk about the future of DC in James Gunn and Peter Safran's hands. We also give out several awards for DC over the past 25 years, including "The 2nd Best DC Film" and "Biggest WTF Moment."(Song: Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 x A$AP Rocky)

In this second installment of "IP State of the Union: Billion-Dollar Character Acquisitions," IP Goes Pop!® co-hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue explore goodwill—the invisible yet invaluable asset fueling iconic franchises. They break down how studios leverage brand loyalty and cultural impact when acquiring legendary IP, where the goal extends beyond box office numbers to long-term equity through merchandise, theme parks, and fan engagement. The hosts analyze three major franchises: Star Wars (examining whether George Lucas's goodwill continues to pay dividends as Disney shifts toward streaming), the DC Universe (discussing Warner Bros.' struggles despite owning Superman and Batman, and James Gunn's new vision), and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (questioning whether public controversies and mixed expansions threaten the brand, and if HBO's upcoming reboot will revitalize or alienate the fanbase). Whether you're a casual moviegoer or die-hard fan, this episode transforms how you view the business of pop culture.

What inspired this approach, and what does it reveal about Wally's character?Jeff, you've tackled deeply personal, introspective stories before. How does Absolute Flash balance superhero spectacle with the kind of emotional storytelling you're known for?Nick, this series presents a unique visual challenge since Wally doesn't have the Speed Force in the usual sense. How did you approach illustrating motion, speed, and kinetic energy differently?The father-son dynamic seems central to the story. What can you tell us about the relationship between Wally and his father, and how it shapes the narrative?The Absolute line lets creators tell more standalone, auteur-driven superhero stories. What freedom did that give you in shaping this take on Wally West?Wally is often portrayed as an optimist. Without his usual safety nets, how does his personality shift in this story? Can you tease anything about the “nefarious forces” chasing Wally?

Show notes provided Joe PelusoWorlds will live! Worlds will Die! And the DC Universe will never be the same!" That was the slogan--the catch-all that DC comics showcased in all their books in late 1984 for the coming company-wide event of 1985 that would make comic book publishing history! Characters, past events, time-lines, origins, and fifth years of publishing history, in an ever-expanding universe, was about to implode!    Join hosts, James, Keith and Joe as they rocket into themultiverse and try to stay ahead of the wave of destruction unleashed by master storytellers Marv Wolfman and George Perez. It was time for a change, and for twelve issues hitting the shelves every month in 1985, that change was steaming toward a cataclysmic and transformational conclusion of unprecedented proportions!    Beautifully illustrated by the great George Perez, Marv Wolfman's scintillating script came to life in the most shocking, awe-inspiring way. Tragedy, self-sacrifice, and mind-blowing super-heroics assaulted the senses of avid DC fans for an entire year! To the devoted reader, it was the equivalent of discovering "the lost city of gold"!   The boys deep dive into the first three issues with recollections, reviews, and raucous remarks that will delight and inform. If you have never read this seminal work, or are coming back to it after a period of time, join the guys as they are buffeted from one reality to the next as only this special medium of entertainment could exert! But be forewarned, there are spectral shadows of unspeakable peril that will terminate some of your favorite super-friends! Themultiverse is no place for the faint of heart!
