Our hosts return to the Podcave for a full-on switcharoo as they check out the Superman: The Animated Series episode, “Knight Time.” When Superman heads to Gotham for a full-on switcharoo as he fills in for a missing Batman. They break down the bold, Jack Kirby–influenced art deco style of Superman: TAS and how it contrasts with the darker noir aesthetic of The New Batman Adventures. They also highlight the incredible dynamic between Robin and Superman, a team-up that brings heart, humour, and some genuinely great character moments.Plus, they discover what the “S” really stands for on Supey's chest. Why Superman's super-hearing suddenly gets really bad inside the bat cowl. Why Bane is talking like a confused caveman to a rizz-less Riddler.

Welcome back to Marvel Us Disney for the first episode of 2026, where Jim Hill and Dan Graney kick off the year by looking at how Marvel is embracing chaos, memory, and unfinished business. From carefully timed leaks and legacy character returns to the stories and creators who never quite got their final chapter, this episode connects Marvel's current strategy to the people and moments that shaped it. Along the way, the conversation takes some thoughtful detours into Hollywood history, creator recognition, and one very famous Spider-Man movie that almost happened. NEWS • Marvel's early-2026 rollout leans into controlled chaos, with Avengers: Doomsday teasers, overseas trailer ratings, and leaks that feel increasingly intentional • The return of legacy characters like Steve Rogers, Thor, and the X-Men signals a broader strategy, not just nostalgia • Why Marvel's staggered teaser strategy may be quietly helping Avatar: Fire and Ash dominate IMAX screens • Disney+ quietly drops all episodes of Wonder Man at once, adding it to the growing list of well-liked Marvel TV “orphans” • A meaningful tribute to Jack Kirby in New York City highlights how recognition sometimes comes from community, not corporations FEATURE • The origin of James Cameron's unmade Spider-Man film, including scripts, tone, and planned villains • How Cameron's darker, more adult take on Peter Parker clashed with a legal maze of rights and lawsuits • Why this unrealized project still explains Spider-Man's endless adaptability across reboots and eras • How Marvel's biggest “what ifs” continue to echo through today's franchise decisions HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Dan Graney - Website: thehubbubbery.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

It was 40 years ago this month that the calendar ticked over to 1986, often heralded as one of the high points of the comic book industry—perhaps even the most important year in the history of the medium. Comics began to find the mainstream acceptance they'd long craved, superheroes got grimmer ‘n' grittier, and DC Comics reinvented itself for an older and more discerning audience. We walk through the highlights of this annus mirabilis, take a look back at what was left behind in this brave new era, and wonder whether we'll ever see another year of its like again. Discussed in this episode:​Crisis, Dark Knight, and Watchmen (again, but briefly, we promise!)​Marvel's 25th anniversary​The New Universe​X-Men as franchise​Classic X-Men debuts​Grim ‘n' gritty and the dawn of “the Dark Age”​Daredevil and Elektra by Frank Miller​The Punisher gets his own series​Licensed comics and other cancellations at Marvel​The rise of the post-Crisis DCU​Legends​Many fine comics written by Alan Moore​The founding of Dark Horse Comics​Maus​Creator's rights, starring Jack Kirby, Frank Miller, and Jim Shooterpatreon.com/ironageofcomics

While it seems a bit odd to see Captain America fighting Magneto, they do have something in common: Jack Kirby had a hand in creating both!

In this episode of Puny Pod, Ryan and David take on one of the MCU's most ambitious—and divisive—films: Eternals. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern-day Marvel, the conversation dives deep into cosmic lore, Jack Kirby's massive ideas, and what happens when Marvel trades quips for existential dread. The hosts break down the film's sprawling ensemble cast, Chloé Zhao's distinct directorial style, and the complicated mythology of Eternals, Deviants, and Celestials. Along the way, they explore why this movie looks incredible, why it confused so many viewers on first watch, and how its themes of free will, duty, and humanity set it apart from traditional MCU entries. Expect thoughtful analysis, comic-book history, first-watch vs. rewatch perspectives, and plenty of Puny Pod banter as Ryan and David wrestle with a movie that asks big questions—and isn't afraid to slow things down to do it. Love it or hate it, Eternals is a swing for the fences, and this episode gives it the full deep-dive treatment. Themes by J.R. Trimpe: https://trimpe.org/ ---------------- Support the show!

Before there was the Marvel Universe… before Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four changed everything in 1961… there was Atlas Comics. It was the 1950s — the so-called “lost decade” for Marvel. The superheroes were gone. In their place came monsters, crime, westerns, romance, and science fiction. But inside those pages, you could already see the DNA of what was coming next.From artists like Joe Maneely, Bill Everett, and a young Steve Ditko… to Stan Lee's endless experiments with genre and tone… the Atlas years are the missing link between Timely's Golden Age and Marvel's Silver Age explosion. In this episode, we're diving deep into that forgotten era — the stories, the creators, the rise and fall of the Atlas line, and how those books quietly paved the way for the Marvel Revolution.

After our busy October, we're taking a little breather from a subject, to discuss what we have going on this month. Plus, what would Jack Kirby think of some current events?!
