Podcasts about DC Universe

Welcome to the Gaming Roundtable podcast, your premier destination for all things gaming and entertainment. In this episode, the panel comprising Brian, Taylor, Crono, and Mark, embark on a journey through the latest buzz in the gaming world. We kick things off with a deep dive into Bungie's latest controversy. With plagiarism allegations confirmed, we discuss the implications on Bungie's new venture, Marathon, and what this means for the gaming industry at large. As fervent listeners of the gaming scene, we unpack the potential legal and commercial ramifications for Bungie and explore whether Marathon can still be a success story. Shifting gears to the DC Universe, we dissect the much-talked-about Superman trailer that has fans buzzing. With the Snyderverse drama now a thing of the past, what does the future hold for Superman under James Gunn's vision? We share our thoughts and hopes for the new era of the DCU and how it might just reinvent the superhero landscape. In the world of game reviews and industry politics, we shed light on the controversy surrounding "No Rest for the Wicked." How do review bombs affect indie developers, and what role does media coverage play in shaping public perception? As we navigate through these thorny issues, we offer insight into how developers can mitigate negative campaigns and maintain their creative integrity. Throughout the episode, we also share updates on the latest gaming releases, including new details about Borderlands 4, and anticipate what lies ahead in the gaming calendar. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion that's both entertaining and enlightening, whether you're a casual gamer or a die-hard fan.

Go Check Out Ben's Game The Cast List:  https://www.amazon.com/KESS-Trivia-Co... James Gunn's Superman (2025) trailer is here — and it's sparking major box office predictions! On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the official trailer for Superman, discuss the bold new direction of the DC Universe, and ask the big question: Can this movie finally push the DCU past the $1 billion mark? David Corenswet suits up as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan steps in as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult brings a chilling Lex Luthor to life. With a stellar supporting cast including Milly Alcock as Supergirl and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, this film blends heart, humor, and heroism. But will that be enough to launch a new era of DC success? We also cover: ➡️ Marvel Television's new approach to Disney+ series – fewer shows, tighter budgets, and multi-season potential ➡️ Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning reviews: Is this really the franchise's final send-off? ➡️ New Masters of the Universe set footage reveals a possible Beast Man sighting – full breakdown of the cast and behind-the-scenes updates

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 15, 2025 is: impervious • im-PER-vee-us • adjective Impervious describes that which does not allow something (such as water or light) to enter or pass through. It is also used formally to mean “not bothered or affected by something.” Both senses of impervious are usually used with to. // The material is impervious to water. // The mayor seems impervious to criticism. See the entry > Examples: “All of this ups the already sky-high stakes for ‘Superman,' which relaunches the DC Universe under the direction of Gunn and Peter Safran. The film is the studio's best hope at fielding a billion-dollar blockbuster in 2025, but even the Man of Steel isn't impervious to box office Kryptonite.” — Rebecca Rubin, Variety, 17 Jan. 2025 Did you know? Finding your way through some words' etymologies can lead to surprising discoveries of origins that seemingly have little to do with their modern-day meanings. Impervious, which entered English in the early 1600s, is not one of those words—its history is entirely straightforward. The Latin ancestor of impervious is impervius, which adds the prefix im-, meaning “not,” to pervius, meaning “passable or penetrable.” Pervius in turn comes from per, meaning “through,” and via, meaning “way.” Impervious, it follows, describes things that don't allow a way through something, whether literally (as in “asphalt, concrete, and other surfaces that are impervious to rain”) or figuratively (as in “impervious to criticism/pressure”). The opposite of impervious, pervious, entered English at around the same time, but it is much less common.

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.

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.

Are these familiar faces from Flash lore, or entirely new threats?Favorite rogues?What do you hope Absolute Flash adds to Wally West's legacy as a character?With Absolute Flash, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Batman all reimagining these heroes in bold new ways, if Wally had to team up with the Absolute versions of Diana and Bruce, what would their dynamic be like?

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!
