Podcasts about Superman

On this special Christmas holiday episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega reflects on this very surreal and challenging year and tries to find some mirth, merriment, positive energy and joy to refill his (and our) hope tanks. Chauncey taps into the joy of childhood nostalgia and a longing for a simpler time as he looks through store catalogues from the 1980s in search of his favorite Transformers and G.I. Joe toys, and then calculates how much they would cost in today's dollars. Chauncey soon realizes he likely would have been the parent telling the kids, "Hell no!" Disney, the WWE, and other entertainment companies have announced that they will be using AI programs to "assist" in their creative process. In the spirit of embracing the future, Chauncey DeVega asks an AI to write a Christmas-themed crossover mega-event movie featuring Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, James Gunn's version of Superman, Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Krampus. The results are "troubling" for what they suggest about the present and future of mass media in the 21st century and beyond.   This year's Christmas and holiday season are a painful reminder that the collapse of American democracy in the Age of Trump is also an extreme moral crisis, touching almost every aspect of American society and life. To that point, Chauncey shares a recent news story about how ICE has enlisted "Santa Claus" — equipped with a red bulletproof vest and handcuffs — to assist in its mass deportation campaign.    WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

It was a great year for Warner Bros. Discovery: Two of its movies (One Battle After Another and Sinners) are front-runners for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it had a string of critical hits and box-office successes with Superman, Weapons, and A Minecraft Movie. But despite those wins, the media conglomerate—which also owns HBO and CNN—found itself up for auction with two aggressive bidders: Paramount and Netflix. The Atlantic movie critic David Sims explains why this deal could be bad for the movies. And our staff writer Frank Foer lays out why this deal could be bad for democracy—especially if President Donald Trump gets involved. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Trevor sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Wesley Morris for a wide-ranging conversation that uncovers the hidden stories in everyday culture.From Carlos Alcaraz's accidental buzz cut becoming the real drama of the US Open (and why men rarely have to explain their appearance), to the deeper meaning behind dead baby names, looted ancient artifacts, and Trump's complicated relationship with museums.They dive into why blockbuster movies have abandoned regular human stories, how Superman reboots reflect America's shifting self-image, and why horror films and death-obsessed songs are dominating right now.Wesley breaks down the superpower of a “critic at large”: spotting trends everyone else misses and connecting them to what they really say about us.Thought-provoking, funny, and full of unexpected insights—this one will make you see the world a little differently.

As we look back at some of the very best conversations of 2025, there was no way I could leave this one out. One of the standout talks of the year comes from an artist whose work consistently blends sharp storytelling, inventive visuals, and genuine heart. From Whiteout to Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, Steve Lieber has proven time and again that he's one of the most thoughtful and versatile creators working in comics today. In this Best of 2025 episode, Steve joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about Metamorpho, the enduring appeal of Jimmy Olsen, and the realities of making comics in today's industry — from creative challenges to smart business choices. It's funny, insightful, and packed with the kind of perspective only years of experience can bring.

Après vous avoir parlé de la sainte Trinité de DC Comics avec Batman, Superman et Wonder Woman dans une précédente émission, on s'intéresse cette fois au Martien vert préféré de l'éditeur.Absolute Martian Manhunter, écrit par Deniz Camp et dessiné par Javier Rodriguez, arrive en France chez Urban Comics et s'impose comme l'un des nouveaux titres du label Absolute piloté par Scott Snyder. Est ce que ce nouvel Absolute est le titre à ne pas rater chez DC Comics ? On vous en parle dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery. Absolute Martian Manhunter de Deniz Camp et Javier Rodriguez Un invité venu d'ailleursPour parler des aventures d'un extraterrestre, il nous en fallait bien un autre. Nous avons eu la joie d'accueillir Dr Salience, vidéaste qui aborde les comics avec une approche très personnelle. Vous pouvez retrouver sa chaîne YouTube ici :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAxorfXj27uDj9NZXu8rBg Si vous en avez assez des vidéos critiques classiques tournées devant une bibliothèque Billy remplie de figurines Pop, son univers décalé et son humour singulier devraient vous séduire. Nous vous invitons à découvrir son travail et à vous abonner si le cœur vous en dit pour le soutenir. Découvrons le limier martienMartian Manhunter, aussi connu sous le nom de J'onn J'onzz, est l'un des personnages majeurs de DC Comics. Pourtant, en France, le personnage reste relativement discret, en dehors de ses apparitions dans les séries animées, notamment la célèbre Super Justice League qui l'a révélé à toute une génération.Chez Urban Comics, seuls deux titres lui ont été consacrés en solo, Absolute Martian Manhunter étant la seconde publication centrée sur le Martien. On l'a surtout découvert dans des récits d'équipe, dont le superbe New Frontier de Darwyn Cooke où il occupe un rôle clé.Cette rare présence éditoriale rend d'autant plus excitante la sortie d'un récit entièrement dédié au personnage. Créé en 1955 par Joseph Samachson et Joe Certa, Martian Manhunter appartient aux grandes figures de l'âge d'argent de DC Comics. J'onn J'onzz est souvent considéré comme l'âme de la Justice League, un héros profondément empathique, traumatisé par la disparition de son peuple.Sa personnalité mêle sagesse, mélancolie et sens du devoir, ce qui le distingue des autres membres de l'équipe.Ses pouvoirs variés, qui vont de la télépathie à la métamorphose en passant par la super force et l'intangibilité, en font l'un des héros les plus puissants de l'univers DC.Cette importance, bien reconnue aux États Unis, explique l'attente autour d'un récit qui lui redonne enfin toute sa place. Une réinvention du personnagePour revisiter Martian Manhunter, Scott Snyder s'est entouré de deux auteurs particulièrement inspirés.Deniz Camp s'est fait connaître avec des récits ambitieux comme 20th Century Men, où il explore déjà des thèmes humains, politiques et intimes.Javier Rodriguez apporte quant à lui une identité visuelle forte, grâce à son style expressif et ses compositions inventives aperçues dans Daredevil, Spider Woman ou The History of the Marvel Universe.Ensemble, ils donnent à ce titre Absolute une personnalité très marquée. Dans Absolute Martian Manhunter, Deniz Camp propose une interprétation originale en jouant sur la relation entre J'onn J'onzz et son identité humaine, l'agent du FBI John Jones.Le Martien est ici présenté comme une présence presque parasitaire dans l'esprit de l'agent, une conscience qui influence sa perception du monde.Cette idée rappelle par certains aspects la dynamique d'un Venom, mais avec une approche bien plus psychologique.Ce choix renforce les thèmes du récit, qui explore l'identité, la mémoire et la difficulté de trouver sa place.Le dessin de Javier Rodriguez accompagne parfaitement cette vision grâce à un jeu de couleurs expressif qui matérialise les émotions ressenties par l'enquêteur et accentue le décalage entre ses deux natures. Le titre à lire de la ligne Absolute ?Si vous aimez les séries des Big Two qui flirtent avec l'esprit des comics indépendants, comme The Vision de Tom King et Gabriel Walta ou Moon Knight de Jeff Lemire et Greg Smallwood, vous allez adorer ce titre.Absolute Martian Manhunter plonge au cœur de la psyché du dernier Martien et s'appuie sur une collaboration très réussie entre scénario et dessin.Le travail sur la couleur donne au récit un rythme particulier et renforce l'immersion dans l'enquête.Tout est pensé pour offrir un portrait complet du personnage et de son univers, tout en construisant un thriller haletant qui tient en haleine du début à la fin. Comme le titre de l'émission le laisse entendre, on est clairement devant le titre à ne pas manquer dans la ligne Absolute.Nous n'avons pas encore découvert le Flash, mais Absolute Martian Manhunter est déjà notre vrai coup de cœur de ce nouveau label DC. Si vous avez apprécié notre discussion avec Dr Salience, n'hésitez pas à aller découvrir son univers directement sur sa chaîne YouTube.Il propose des vidéos originales, décalées et très soignées autour des comics.Vous pouvez le retrouver ici et vous abonner pour soutenir son travail :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAxorfXj27uDj9NZXu8rBg Vous aimez les récits qui réinventent les super héros ou les plongées dans des univers forts et singuliers ?Voici quelques épisodes de ComicsDiscovery qui pourraient aussi vous plaire.

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalahKEKUATAN KASIH ALLAHMari kita membaca Firman Tuhan dariROMA 5: 8Akan tetapi Allah menunjukkan kasih-Nya kepada kita, oleh karena Kristus telah mati untuk kita, ketika kita masih berdosa.Wonder Kids, tahu tidak? Tuhan Yesus sangat mengasihi kamu!Dia datang ke dunia ini untuk menunjukkan kasih-Nya. Dia berbicara seperti kita, makan seperti kita, tidur seperti kita, bahkan pernah bersin dan batuk! Saat kecil, Dia juga belajar berjalan, bermain dengan teman-teman-Nya, dan pergi ke sekolah.Tuhan Yesus begitu mengasihi kamu, sampai-sampai Dia rela meninggalkan surga dan hidup seperti manusia. Dia merasakan sakit, dihina oleh orang-orang, bahkan disalibkan! Tapi Dia tetap mengasihi kamu. Kasih-Nya tidak pernah berhenti!MARI KITA BERTUMBUH DI DALAM ANUGERAH TUHANWonder Kids, menurutmu apa benda terkuat di dunia? Besi? Beton? Superman? Dinamit? Semuanya tidak ada apa-apanya jika dibandingkan dengan kekuatan Allah. TUHAN jauh lebih kuat dari semua hal di dunia ini! Sebab aku yakin, bahwa baik maut, maupun hidup, baik malaikat-malaikat, maupun pemerintah-pemerintah, baik yang ada sekarang, maupun yang akan datang atau kuasa-kuasa, baik yang di atas, maupun yang di bawah, ataupun sesuatu makhluk lain, tidak akan dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang ada dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita - Roma 8: 38-39.Mari kita berdoaTuhan Yesus, terima kasih atas kasih-Mu yang besar. Engkau mati untukku meskipun aku masih berdosa. Ajar aku untuk mengasihi dan mengampuni orang lain seperti Engkau mengasihiku. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, MESKIPUN KITA SERING BERBUAT SALAH, ALLAH TETAP MENGASIHI KITA DAN MENGIRIMKAN YESUS UNTUK MENYELAMATKAN KITA. TUHAN Yesus memberkati

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesFive Star Review from Parakleets: Love the show and longtime listener to the network! I'm a big fan of the MCU and very excited for Doomsday. I can't wait to see the teaser trailers, but can't figure out why y'all are so mad about it? Does podcasting make you guys more critical or cynical about the “biz”? As quite the opposite of being a filthy casual, I'll happily watch whatever trailers the MCU gives me and then judge the marketing promo after all the teasers are released.The Countdown BeginsThe hotly anticipated first teaser trailer for Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday has officially arrived and with it some substantial reveals. The trailer originally debuted attached ahead of select screenings of Avatar: Fire & Ash last weekend, as expected, before being released online Tuesday morning. Prior to Tuesday morning's drop, reputable film industry trades like Variety already wasted no time running will spoiler-filled headlines addressing the spoilers and the week preceding the official release was plagued with leaked versions of varying quality sweeping the Internet; so, we've waiting long enough ourselves - spoilers inbound if you've somehow managed to avoid them. The trailer is here whether we like the release strategy or not; what do we think of our first official look at Doomsday?Brainiac On the DancefloorJames Gunn's quest to find the DCU's Brainiac has come to end, as Lars Eidenger's begins as he's been cast to play the classic villain in Superman sequel: Man of Tomorrow. The German actor, largely unfamiliar to American audiences but acclaimed for European work like Babylon Berlin, will face off against David Corenswet's Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor in the sequel releasing July 9, 2027. Gunn has a penchant for taking gambles on relative unknowns and launching them to stardom, can he do it again for such an iconic and formidable foe?A Blue Christmas on Pandora?The aforementioned James Cameron's Avatar: Fire & Ash ignited the box office with a $345 million global opening weekend but opened roughly 22 percent below The Way of Water's $441 million debut. Early projections suggest Fire & Ash will finish around 1.7 to 1.8 billion worldwide rather than joining the elite $2 billion club like its predecessors, raising serious questions about whether Disney will greenlight Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. Has Cameron's box office dominance finally cooled off, or will the holiday legs carry Fire & Ash to the heights The All-Mother demands?Putting the Eye in IMAXChristopher Nolan's The Odyssey dropped its eagerly awaited first official trailer, showcasing Matt Damon in the title role battling to return home after the Trojan War in an epic shot entirely with new IMAX film camera technology. The highly anticipated adaptation features a stacked cast including Tom Holland as Odysseus' son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, with the film already selling out 70MM Imax tickets at AMC and Regal ahead of its July 17, 2026 release. Can Nolan's ambitious vision of Homer's classic tale deliver another legend at the Box Office like Oppenheimer?

It's a year end, clocked out episode with Burke joining the show for holiday traditions, Christmas movie rotations, and why Christmas Vacation hits different the older you get. Then it's straight into the biggest geek headlines: the Avengers: Doomsday chatter around Steve Rogers, Christopher Nolan taking on The Odyssey (and why it feels built for IMAX), and the latest Superman casting talk with Lars Ettinger reportedly stepping in as Brainiac. The back half is a full, spoiler heavy review of Avatar: Fire and Ashes, covering the new faction dynamics, how the family story lands this time, Varang's presence as a villain, Quaritch's shifting loyalties, and what the ending sets up for what's next. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and holiday vibe check with Burke 00:00:51 Christmas decorating habits, movie rotation, and Vacation franchise talk 00:03:49 Avengers: Doomsday discussion and the Steve Rogers reaction 00:08:59 Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey trailer breakdown and IMAX hype 00:14:04 Superman talk, Lars Ettinger as Brainiac, and story hopes 00:17:34 Avatar: Fire and Ashes review begins (full spoilers) 00:27:35 Varang breakdown, motivations, and the darker mirror of "I see you" 00:33:27 Kiri's bigger role, the spiritual threads, and what it could mean next 00:41:44 Nitpicks, repetition talk, and the voice casting complaint 00:46:09 Scores, theater recommendation, and looking ahead Key Takeaways The episode starts relaxed and holiday coded, then shifts into big franchise conversation fast. The Avengers: Doomsday segment focuses on bringing Steve Rogers back without flattening Sam Wilson's space in the story. The Odyssey trailer has the crew excited for Nolan going mythic on a massive, grounded scale made for premium screens. Brainiac feels like a smart follow up villain for Superman, especially if the story ties power to personal stakes and Krypton lore. Avatar: Fire and Ashes hits harder emotionally this time, with Spider's place in the family and Neytiri's growth standing out. The main knocks are a few familiar Avatar beats repeating, even if the spectacle still wins. Memorable Quotes "This is very much Christmas Vacation. We are clocked out." "At the end of the day, I'm just happy to have Steve Rogers back." "How do they keep making perfect movies?" "You're basically following a dead man's memories." "I see you in that mirror." "I felt like the Colonel when I was just sitting there staring at her."

Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly in talks to license its biggest DC icons—including Batman and Superman—to Universal Studios. In essence, Warner Bros. Discovery is looking for revenue, Universal wants more blockbuster IP for its parks, and this negotiation could significantly reshuffle the theme park landscape, potentially bringing DC to Universal and freeing up Marvel for Disney.

Santa Claus: The Movie was an ambitious holiday spectacular that was supposed to save the Salkinds' crumbling film empire. Fresh off the disappointing performances of Superman III and Supergirl, producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind bet $50 million on creating the definitive cinematic Santa Claus origin story, complete with backstory, a North Pole workshop brought to life, and a modern-day New York adventure featuring Dudley Moore as a renegade elf.The Salkinds' signature approach to filmmaking, taking beloved existing characters and mounting lavish international co-productions outside the Hollywood system, had worked brilliantly for the first Superman films but was now straining under financial pressure. The father-son team assembled an impressive cast, constructed elaborate sets at Pinewood Studios, and poured resources into cutting-edge visual effects for Santa's flying sleigh. They envisioned a franchise that would become as iconic as their Superman films, a movie that would define Santa Claus for generations of children.Instead, the film became another expensive disappointment that Christmas season, unable to recoup its massive budget despite its technical achievements and heartfelt performances. The planned holiday classic flopped at the box office in the US, but it has nonetheless found an affectionate cult following in the decades since, especially here in the UK.It remains one of Britain's most loved Christmas movies. It's pricey, overly-stuffed, extravagant, best enjoyed with a tipple, and full of nostalgia - a little bit like a traditional British Christmas to be honest.I wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a fantastic New Year.

From Kara's big return and sacrifice, to Faora wearing Lois' face, we dig into how “Bloodline” supercharges the Season 8 big-bad storyline while still feeling like a Clois adventure movie.

  Episode Cancellations and Card Collecting Jefry and Scott discussed the cancellation of "Nostalgia" this week due to scheduling conflicts with predictions and a "Top 11" episode next week. They also talked about the delay of the "WCW Revenge" episode for the Nintendo 64, which will now debut in the week after next. Scott shared his thoughts on the bizarre concept of "rip cards" in baseball card collecting, where a card is destroyed to reveal a smaller, potentially more valuable card inside. They also discussed the recent retirement of John Cena and the high value of his autographed cards, as well as the discovery of a rare Tom Brady card.   Wrestling Era and Figure Discussions Jefry and Scott discussed their opinions on the recent era of wrestling, particularly focusing on John Cena's last run. They both agreed it was rushed and poorly executed, with Scott giving it a rating of 2 out of 5. They also talked about the potential for Mattel to create action figures of Jimmy Garvin and Steve Regal. Finally, they briefly mentioned upcoming wrestling events, including WrestleCon in Vegas.   WrestleCon Autographs and Collectibles Scott and Jefry discussed the rare autograph signing opportunities with Don Morocco and Kevin Vaughn Eric for WrestleCon, with Jefry considering a day trip to attend. Scott shared his excitement about receiving a blue card Hogan LJN figure, and they discussed the appeal of Dusty Rhodes figures, particularly the polka dot era, with Jefry having a blue card Dusty and Scott considering a black card version.   Wrestling Figures and Nostalgia Scott and Jefry discussed Dusty Rhodes' wrestling character and how he embraced a negative gimmick. They then shared their experiences with the new LJN-style wrestling figures, with Scott describing the nostalgic feeling of holding a figure from his childhood in 2025. Scott also read a message from Russell Cartwright who had canceled pre-orders for Hogan and Cena figures after listening to their podcast, and instead found them at retail, which brought back childhood memories.   WrestleCon and Upcoming Product Releases Jefry and Scott discussed the rarity of Rick Martell's autograph signings and speculated that Martell's participation in a New York signing could indicate an upcoming announcement for WrestleCon. They then reviewed new products, including a limited-edition Undertaker bobblehead inspired by the Backlash 2008 poster, and discussed Funko's upcoming releases featuring Uncle Howdy, Jesse Ventura, Bray Wyatt, Jey Uso, and two Rhea Ripley variants. Finally, they mentioned that Junk Shop Dog is releasing three different looks for Tanahashi, who is retiring early next month.   Wrestling Tag Teams Legacy Debate Scott and Jefry discussed the legacy of various wrestling tag teams, including the Hardys, Dudleys, and Road Warriors, and debated who should be included on a hypothetical "Mount Rushmore" of tag teams. They also talked about Ringside Collectibles' new Joe Hendry figure, which is ready to ship and includes a bass that plays his theme music.    Mick Foley's WWE Departure Discussion Scott and Jefry discussed Mick Foley's decision to part ways with WWE due to concerns about the company's relationship with Donald Trump. They admired Foley's ability to stand up for his principles and walk away from the company. The conversation then shifted to new wrestling figures, including Tito Santana in his El Matador gimmick and a highly anticipated Coco Beware figure, which Scott placed on his top 11 list for 2026.   Rob Reiner Event and Licensing Jefry and Scott discussed the upcoming Rob Reiner annual event, which will be the first official one and will feature a "Top 11" list. They also talked about action figures, including the inability to use the Superman logo on WWE products due to licensing issues. Scott expressed surprise at learning that Andre's license is no longer with WWE. They briefly discussed the possibility of future DC-WWE mashup figures and the likelihood of John Cena being featured as Peacemaker. Lastly, they mentioned that WWE is open to working with Target and potentially using other LJN lines for future products. LJN Product Line Future Discussion Scott and Jefry discussed the future of the LJN product line, agreeing that it would likely continue for about 4 years before a reevaluation. They emphasized the importance of including a ring and cage as a package deal, as well as releasing tag team sets. They decided against producing thumb wrestlers and stretch wrestlers but expressed interest in potentially creating Bendy figures in a few years if the LJN line remains successful. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about potential upgrades to wrestling belts, with Steve mentioning that the classic IC title was next on his wishlist for belt upgrades. Wrestling Belt Nostalgia and Upgrades Jefry and Scott discussed the nostalgia and upgrades of wrestling belts from the 1985-1986 era, highlighting significant improvements across major organizations. They expressed hope for the release of the AWA tag team titles, with potential candidates like the Road Warriors or Hall and Henning, though Scott noted limited options for tag champions. They also discussed the possibility of signing legends like Marty Jannetti to future deals, and Jefry confirmed that Barry Wyndham is still under contract, despite no new figures being made since 2010.

In this episode, we'll compare Jak,es Gunn's new iteration of Superman with earlier portrayals, uncover the philosophy shaping modern storytelling, and explore what all of this means for people of faith engaging culture today.

Mike has been fascinated with The Wizard of Oz his entire life because of the traumatic experience the cast and crew suffered in the making of the 1939 movie.
