In Episode 040, the COMIC BROS discuss their decision to wrap-up their podcast due to changes in their personal lives, the potential loss of the 2020 convention season, and other upheaval related to the Coronavirus pandemic. They briefly review Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," and reminisce over the past five years, as well as their plans for the future.
*Spoilers for a book written in 1986* Its a month with five Sundays, so we owe you all an in depth analysis of a OGN or Collected edition. With Matt Trogden returning to the table, what better book to study than Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. We aren't the first to dissect this book, nor will we be the last, but we found some interesting and timely ways to discuss the book as a reflection of contemporary American culture. Enjoy the show, rate and review us on iTunes, swing by the SFG facebook group, and we'll speak at you next week. Rest in Love, Jib.

The gang is back together, albeit briefly, to discuss the cornerstone of modern comics: Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Every comic fan has (or should have) read it, and what better way to kick off October than a baptism of Batman.
This week on But That's Just My Opinion, we are joined by Alex McBroom to talk about Batman! Specifically how Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" turns Batman into a hero with libertarian values. We discuss how these values play out through Batman's narrative and how these values relate to every day life and what we can learn from everyone's favorite vigilante. Song of the week: Kendrick Lamar "YAH" Follow the pod: www.twitter.com/BTJMOPod www.facebook.com/BTJMOPod buttthatsjustmyopinionpod@gmail.com
Following the death of Robin #2, Jason Todd, Batman retired from crimefighting and faded into legend. 10 years later with crime on the rise, Harvey Dent successfully (and supposedly) rehabilitated, and the Mutant gang ravaging the city, an aged Bruce Wayne reluctantly dons the cowl once again to save his city. Join John, Jeff, and Tony as we talk about the trailers for Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy, DC Comics TV properties, DC Rebirth, and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns!
Welcome to THE PANEL: An ALL-NEW Podcast To Astonish! This is Trivia Club's comic book podcast, in which Anthony Couto, Gabe Rudyk, and Colm Whitford, are joined by Trivia Club's Russel Harder to talk about all things comic books, whether they be the DC, Marvel, movies, TV, or independent comics, and how they relate to the history of comic books! In this super-valuable first episode we won't let the film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice rest! But we will look at it through the perspective of Superman (vol. 1) #76, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, and the Death of Superman storyline of the 90's!
Join Benjamen, Scott, VF & Nickel as they catch up after some more time away from comic book podcasting. The opening, 'General Banter" segment is primarily a discussion of neighborhood pubs, and drinking establishments. Settle in, this episode is a 3-hour marathon. In "Comic News" the fellows discuss the upcoming prequel to Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and various Superbowl movie trailers. Rob Liefield's comments about the creation of Deadpool, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and anticipation for the 2016 comic book movies round out the segment. Once again, the "Marvel Trivia Box" segment exposes Nickel's lack of knowledge on the very subject matter of this podcast. This week, VF works in Star Wars trivia questions as well. In the inappropriately named "Rapid Fire Review" segment, comics from January 20, 27 and February 3, 2016 are discussed. Thanks for listening. You're our favorite listener.... Yup, you. We think you're great.
Larry and Chris (and Marisa) give their thoughts on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns as well as some currently available Bat-chandise. Also, they shamelessly plug our Podbean neighbors, The Whisky Minute. Enjoy!
