Warner Bros. Pictures Animation arrived at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival with a bold message: the era of canceled releases and corporate caution may be coming to an end. In this episode, we break down WBPA's ambitious new feature slate, from The Cat in the Hat and Bad Fairies to Oh, the Places You'll Go!, Prehistoria, Margie Claus, Dynamic Duo, Hello Kitty, and The Lunar Chronicles. We also discuss the newly announced Powerpuff Girls movie, potential future projects involving Tom and Jerry, ThunderCats, and Meerkats, and whether Bye Bye Bunny could eventually return. On the Looney Tunes front, we take a closer look at Daffy Season, the first theatrical Looney Tunes short in more than a decade, which will play before The Cat in the Hat. We explore its soccer-themed premise, CGI-rendered characters, classic catchphrase humor, and the significance of Warner Bros. Animation reconnecting with the legacy of Termite Terrace. The DC animation slate is just as packed, with updates on My Adventures with Green Lantern, DC Super Powers, Krypto, Starfire!, Mister Miracle, Knightfall Trilogy, Joker: Laugh Riot, and the upcoming Absolute Batman animated series from comic writer Scott Snyder. We also discuss Adventure Time: Bubblegum and Marceline, Genndy Tartakovsky's Conan the Barbarian, and the continuing expansion of Warner Bros. Animation's television universe. Plus, we react to the latest Coyote vs. Acme 101% debut on RT and what this new slate could mean for Warner Bros.' future in animation. Topics include: Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's Annecy announcements The Cat in the Hat and Daffy Season Bad Fairies, Prehistoria, and Dynamic Duo The new Hello Kitty feature and Powerpuff Girls movie DC's upcoming animated projects Joker: Laugh Riot and Absolute Batman The legacy of Termite Terrace and the future of the Looney Tunes Coyote vs. Acme and Warner Bros.' changing animation strategy

Welcome back to the channel! Today, Kristian Harloff and Kris Carr are breaking down massive updates hitting DC Studios and the movie industry! First up, huge news in the DC Universe as reports indicate HBO has officially passed on pitches for standalone Poison Ivy and Catwoman TV series. Is DC Studios scaling back its television ambitions, or is James Gunn tightening the focus on core theatrical releases? Kristian and Kris dive deep into the restructuring, dissecting why DC's initial 2023 slate announcements might be pivoting and what this means for the future of projects like Waller and Paradise Lost. It's not all shifting development news for superhero fans, though! We have an exciting update on the animated side of Chapter 1 as Tom King confirmed Nathan Fillion will be voicing Guy Gardner in the upcoming adult animated Mister Miracle series. How will Green Lantern factor into Scott Free and Big Barda's story, and what does Fillion bridging live-action and animation mean for DCU continuity? Meanwhile, over in major entertainment business headlines, Paramount is reportedly open to selling CNN to clear regulatory hurdles and close its high-stakes merger, while the creative team behind Barbie is being offered massive paydays to get a sequel off the ground.

Nathan Fillion is bringing Guy Gardner to DC Studios' animated Mister Miracle, and showrunner Tom King says the character's over the top energy is exactly why it works. It is also one more piece of proof that James Gunn's promise about the DCU's animated and live action sides being one universe is holding.Fillion is the first voice actor officially announced for Mister Miracle, the adult animated series based on the Eisner winning 12 issue run by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This is not Fillion's first trip through the Green Lantern Corps either, since he spent years voicing Hal Jordan across DC's animated films before Gunn cast him as Guy in live action. King, who serves as showrunner and executive producer on the series, told Entertainment Weekly that Guy's tone lands even in a very different show because that is simply who the character is. The bigger story is continuity. Rick Flag Sr. was voiced by Frank Grillo in Creature Commandos and played by Frank Grillo in Superman, and now Guy Gardner is jumping mediums with the same actor attached. Mister Miracle follows Scott Free and Big Barda trying to live quietly on Earth while Darkseid and the war between Apokolips and New Genesis close in, and King has already teased that the Darkseid casting will surprise people.

What happens when the man who can escape anything cannot escape himself?In this remastered archive episode, first recorded in 2019 and reissued with new context and commentary, Mick and Ben dig into Mister Miracle (2017-2018) by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the Eisner Award winning 12 issue series from DC Comics.The episode covers:Jack Kirby's Fourth World and why the New Gods were born out of Kirby's experience as an army field artist in World War IIDarkseid as inevitability rather than brawler, the Anti-Life Equation as a proof that free will does not exist, and how "Darkseid Is" moves from a Grant Morrison and Howard Porter phrase in Rock of Ages into a formal storytelling deviceScott Free and Big Barda as one of the most realistic relationships in superhero comics, and how nature versus nurture plays out for two people raised on ApokolipsDepression, PTSD and the "stand / standing" mantra, plus the recurring shower motif and the comic's critique of push-through-it adviceMitch Gerads' art, the post-eighties nine-panel grid, and a rendition of Apokolips inspired by burning oil wells in IraqGranny Goodness, Lightray, Orion, Highfather, Funky Flashman and the Stan Lee parody nobody quite agreed onIs any of it real?

Supergirl finally hits theaters and Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 lands on Netflix, so Frank and Jonathan break down whether either adaptation lives up to the source material. One earns real praise for protecting what makes its characters great, while the other leaves one of the best endings in modern comics on the cutting room floor. The guys also react to PlayStation deleting 551 movies from UK libraries with no refunds and what that means for digital ownership, plus a stack of DC animation news including an Absolute Batman series, a Joker anime, and a Krypto show from the SpongeBob team. Jonathan checks in on his first read of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Frank previews weekly X-Men '97 reviews coming to the Geek Freaks YouTube channel. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and Jonathan's Dungeon Crawler Carl Check-In 03:05 PlayStation Deletes 551 Movies and the Digital Ownership Debate 08:00 DC Animation News: Absolute Batman, Joker Laugh Riot, and Krypto 14:45 Why Animation Is the Truest Form of Adaptation 18:42 Supergirl Movie Review and Comic Comparisons 32:27 Supergirl's Changed Ending and Final Ratings 37:04 Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 Review 51:04 X-Men '97 Weekly Reviews and Recommendations Key Takeaways PlayStation is removing 551 purchased movie titles from UK libraries with no refunds, reigniting the debate over whether you ever really own digital content. DC is going all in on animation with an Absolute Batman series, a Joker anime called Laugh Riot, a Krypto show from the SpongeBob team, and Tom King's Mister Miracle on the way. Supergirl works as a fun entry in the new DCU, but condensing Tom King's comic stripped out the character depth and swapped one of the best endings in modern comics for a simpler kill. Lobo is a blast on screen with real Beetlejuice energy, but he was not necessary to the plot and deserves his own standalone project, which Jason Momoa says he will only do rated R. Avatar Season 2 succeeds where Supergirl stumbles, condensing the story without cutting anything essential to the characters. Toph and Uncle Iroh stand out, and Ba Sing Se delivers. Final scores: Supergirl gets a 7 from Frank and a 10 from Jonathan, while Avatar Season 2 earns an 8 from Frank and a 9 from Jonathan. Quotes "If you find a way to watch movies, I think you're preserving history. You're not stealing." - Frank "Animation is probably the truest form of adaptation nowadays." - Frank "You're not going to be the hero in every story." - Jonathan "Don't think that the loud voices are the voices, because they're not." - Jonathan "Toph feels like Toph now." - Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

DC Studios dropped three major animation announcements at Annecy this morning, and this episode breaks down all of them. The headliner is an Absolute Batman animated series with the comic's own creative team steering the ship, followed by Joker: Laugh Riot, an original anime that flips the Batman formula on its head, and a Krypto series that brings a much lighter, family-friendly energy to the slate. No manor, no money, all Batman, and that is just the start.Beyond the three big reveals, this one digs into why these announcements matter for the bigger picture. With projects like Mister Miracle from Tom King already in the works, DC is treating animation as a real priority rather than a side project. The takeaway is simple: animation has become the place where these characters can be told accurately and ambitiously, the same way Invincible and X-Men '97 proved the medium can carry the most compelling superhero stories around.00:00:00 DC Studios' Big Annecy Announcements00:00:04 Absolute Batman Gets an Animated Series00:00:29 Joker: Laugh Riot, DC's First Anime00:00:57 Krypto and the SpongeBob Connection00:01:17 Why Animation Is No Longer a Side Project for DC00:01:32 Listener Question and Sign OffAbsolute Batman is getting an animated series with Scott Snyder showrunning and artist Nick Dragotta producing, so the comic's creative team stays intact. No release date yet.The Absolute Batman comic has sold more than 6 million copies, with the first volume already on its 11th printing. This version is a working-class Bruce Wayne with no fortune, no manor, only one parent lost, and a civil engineer who builds all his own tools.Joker: Laugh Riot is an anime from WB Animation, DC Studios, and Japan's SOLA Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, with the same director attached.The Joker story is original: after Batman is killed, the Joker tears through Gotham's underworld hunting the culprit, because he realizes he does not know who he is without Batman.The Krypto series is the furthest out and the most lighthearted, following Superman's dog as he runs with a gang of misfit criminals. C.H. Greenblatt of SpongeBob fame is developing it, so expect that playful energy.The bigger story is that DC is putting real weight behind animation now, with Mister Miracle from Tom King and more on the way. Following the lead of Invincible and X-Men '97, animation is where these comic-accurate stories can truly shine."If you're not on the absolute train yet, get on it. It's so good.""He works on the city during the day, fights crime at night, and he's beefy as hell.""Animation is no longer a side project for these guys. They're actually putting a lot of mustard behind this."For the latest geek news, head to GeekFreaksPodcast.com, our source for everything covered on the show.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave a review, and share it with a fellow geek using #GeekFreaks.Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastFrank: @franklourence79Thomas: @thomascraigviiiAre you reading Absolute Batman?

Before Jason Momoa shows up in Supergirl, here's everything you need to know about Lobo.This week Zach and Mike dive into the 1990-1991 four-issue Lobo mini-series by Keith Giffen and Alan Grant, the run that created the version of the character most people actually know. The one with the space hog. The chain. The white skin and black hair. The one who is almost certainly showing up in the Supergirl film and who Mike compares, correctly, to "Wolverine if Wolverine were Deadpool."Here's what Lobo actually is: a bounty hunter from a utopian planet so peaceful they didn't even have a word for fighting. He was born wrong, got worse, and eventually committed genocide on his entire species just so he could be unique. He is now the last of his kind. He did that on purpose. The story we're covering has him transporting a prisoner across the galaxy, his fourth grade teacher, who wrote an unauthorized biography about him and whom he very much wants to kill. While being chased by space fanboys, a paramilitary senior citizens' decency committee, and the planetary police force of every planet he's stopped at along the way. There is also a spelling bee.Also this week: the Marvel Thanksgiving Day Parade float. RoboCop is in it. Hulk barely moves a clock tower. Captain America takes it very seriously. We watch the whole thing.Plus: Supergirl movie excitement, the Dean Cain callout, a Mister Miracle animated series update, and the Lobo that DC tried to reboot in 2011 who Mike did not like the nipples of.From: Lobo Mini-Series #1–4 (1990–1991) | Writer: Alan Grant | Plotter: Keith Giffen | Artist: Simon Bisley#supergirl hits theaters this week.

They begin their flirtatious dance that will lead to them being a couple. But the road is rocky. Canary and Arrow find the fight den, but Canary must agree to fight Wildcat and win to get him to leave. GA knocks her out and fights Wildcat. Wildcat seemingly kills Green Arrow. But it was a trick. Wildcat is snapped out of it and they take down the arena. In the second story Mister Miracle and Big Barta are working on a escape routine to make money. Granny Goodness steps in and takes their mentor Oberon to Apokolips. The husband-and-wife duo know they are not enough to bring Granny down.

“The Miracle! Peace on Earth an end to war today…that time will come one day you'll see…” The immortal words of Freddie Mercury and Queen from their song The Miracle. Fitting for today's subject, Scott Free and his alter ego MISTER MIRACLE. If you haven't heard of him well strap in! After our discussion about how Jack Kirby's 4th World influenced the 1987 MotU it reminded us of the awesomeness of his characters, one of them being Mister Miracle and there's no better story than the one by Tom King to introduce him with. We have a background with and we want to share our story. We also want to hear your thoughts! All in preparation for what we know will now soon be a series! This book is as Freddie says “It's a miracle!”
Jeremy and Chris pull back the curtain on one of the most dynamic "new gods", Scott Free, aka, Mister Miracle. A unique character created by Jack Kirby while at DC, this escape artist by trade, and extra powerful extra-terrestrial by birth, Mister Miracle has an almost Shakespearean backstory. He's got the responsibilities of a powerful world warring general, with a relatable desire for a normal family life. We cover his origin, publication history, reading recommendations, adaptations, and of course a fun "what-if" question.

Want to listen to this episode ad-free? Visit our Patreon! Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. This week on the show we have cosplay couple Aly Moon and Nick Woody to discuss their anniversary issue, a Gail Simone jam (Uncanny X-Men 18) where the well-intentioned mutant "Friendship Festival" goes sideways...and what that means for the future of their relationship. We play the X-Newlywed Game (how could we not?) and also on this episode: Wolverine throws up on Ferris wheels Horse Girl has a bad night Nightcrawler has a nice day The most on fire hospital Jubilee needs a better publicist What does any of this mean for their future as a soon-to-be married couple? Tune in to find out! Aly Moon (@Alymoonnn) is a Tennessee-based cosplayer, nail artist, lifelong Marvel nerd, and proud X-Men enthusiast. When she's not bringing superheroes to life through cosplay or creating nerdy nail art, she's probably found in her garden (because every good mutant needs a soft, earthy side too). Nicholas Woody, also known as TheComicCosplayer, is an extremely passionate cosplayer who loves bringing characters to life. Nightcrawler, Sentry, Ash Williams, and Mister Miracle are just a few examples of his portrayals. From horror movies like Evil Dead and The Shining, to comics such as Moon Knight, the new Marvel Ultimate Comics, and DC Black Label/Vertigo, and even gaming titles like Marvel Rivals and Dead by Daylight, to fandom-related content creation, Nicholas has fully embraced the geek lifestyle. When he's not traveling, creating, gaming, or thrifting, Nicholas enjoys the convention scene! Once a theater kid, always a theater kid—Nick's love for cosplay evolved from his love for acting and theater. Cosplay allows you to be whoever you want to be rather than hoping to play the role you want, which really drew him to the hobby. Formerly based in Texas, and now residing in central Tennessee, Nicholas looks forward to a bright future with his fiancé Aly as they share their passions together in geekdom.

Kathleen Kennedy is officially stepping down from Lucasfilm, and today on The Kristian Harloff Show we break down what this means for the future of Star Wars, Lucasfilm leadership, and the franchise as a whole. From the official exit to Kennedy's own comments on the current status of multiple Star Wars projects, this is a major turning point for one of the most iconic brands in pop culture. We also discuss Kennedy's reflections on the toxic side of fandom, her thoughts on what went wrong with Solo, and how audience expectations and studio decision-making have evolved over the years. What projects are still moving forward? What might be reworked or shelved? And what does this leadership change signal for the next era of Star Wars films and series? In addition, we pivot to DC Studios news as James Gunn responds to reports that The Brave and the Bold could be targeting a 2028 release date, and confirms that the Mister Miracle animated series is officially part of the DCU. Big leadership shifts, franchise strategy updates, and major universe-building conversations all collide in today's episode. Join Kristian and the panel as they analyze the implications, speculate on what comes next, and put these developments into context for both Star Wars and DC fans.

Later in the show: Archie Movie Roundup — we're diving into what's next for Archie on the big screen, how the classic juggernaut's Hollywood evolution is playing out, and what it means for the Riverdale universe and beyond.

Action Comics #497 (1979)Since he's got a big movie coming out, let's keep it going with the Man of Steel here on WCE with a Bronze Age tale of Superman finding himself at the whims of three kids and an inter-dimensional imp convening in a modest shack in Kansas.You see, one of these kids needs life-changing surgery so the imp is letting these youngsters conjure up all sorts of perilous tasks like flaming meteors filled with Kryptonite and forced alien dissections. There has to be an easier way to do this but why bother when you can put countless living being in some sort of peril.We also got Scottish pirates, that one kid from STRANGER THINGS, tactless hotel doormen and a nearly tragic birthday surprise for Clark.Plus, Jen and Shawn discuss Metallica at Mile High Stadium and the shocking appearance of really good Mister Miracle cosplay in a random 80's horror flick.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:20:39 ***Promo: MOVING KRYPTONIAN IMAGES (https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/it-all-comes-back-to-superman-series-two/id1720158262)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/In a peek behind the curtain, James Gunn shared with Rolling Stone this week that the Milly Alcock-lead film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will now just be called Supergirl. This is similar to July's Superman, which started out with the title Superman: Legacy. Gunn shared that he and his team do what he calls “premortems,” where they attempt to suss out issues with projects prior to release rather than reacting on the back end. The shortening of titles has come out of those discussions. In the same article, Gunn got candid about the state of Batman in the DCU and the complexities of navigating the character with Matt Reeves' adaptation in consideration or making it his own. Lastly, Gunn announced today that actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Basil Karlo/Clayface in the film set to be released in September 2026.Live action remakes continue to rule at the box office, with this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon capturing the top spot opening to a global $197 million.
