Developed by Ben Queen, Powerless is the superhero sitcom television set within the world of the DC Universe. Luke and Jae return to Charm City to review this single season, 12 episode series from 2017. Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) lands her dream job as director of research and development for Wayne Security in Charm City, home to superheroes, super villains and everyday citizens fed up with the collateral damage of their constant super fighting. Full of confidence and big ideas about how to make life safer for the populace, Emily quickly learns that her aspirations far exceed those of her new boss and officemates, so it is up to her to lead the team toward its full potential and the realization that you don't need superpowers to be a hero.

Our Heroes are pleasantly surprised by the charm of Powerless, a short-lived 2017 Workplace Sitcom set firmly in the middle of the pedestrian end of the DC Universe. Emily (Vanessa Hudgens) and her rag-tag R&D team try to bring relevance to Wayne Security, the overlooked Insurance division of Wayne Enterprises, headed up by Bruce's megalomaniac cousin Van (Alan Tudyk). It's Justice League meets The Office...a premise that should have been a home-run!Theme by Jimmy Thain (@CititzenThain on Instagram)Follow us on Facebook @MultiversalSoldierPodIf you like the show, rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday June 17th, 2017. As submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. It looked like we were just down to iZombie this week until DC decided to post a new episode of Powerless on YouTube with special guest star Adam West. What a great surprise! iZombie - Liv and Blaine crashed the Zombie Haters party. Harley Johns escaped but all his friends were killed by Fillmore Graves. Liv, Blaine, Don and Soldier Zack chowed down on Bo Johns' brain and the conspiracy theories were a-flowing. Zack's visions led Fillmore Graves to a cabin that turned out to be a trap. Clive and Liv found Harley hiding in a bunker under the cabin, shot him, realized he was being framed and turned into a Zombie. Major's new fun with Shawna was spoiled when she posted pics of their sex fort on tumblr and a break-up ensued. Peyton discovered Tatum Weckler was a zombie, found her father's missing SD card and uncovered that Mayor-Elect Floyd Baracus was involved in the dominatrix murders. Last Minute Reveal: Ravi saw a street-side newspaper headline and learned that Rachel, his new friend who he revealed all of his Zombie secrets to, was really an undercover journalist and she just published a full exposé on Zombies in Seattle!   Powerless - Aliens destroyed Emily's new condo. The team's unsuccessful attempts to cheer her up were compounded when Chairman Dean West told Emily she had to fire someone. Van became so depressed about not getting promoted that he let Teddy and Ronnie try giving him Flash powers, which turned out to be a prank. Emily fixed the budget to not fire someone but Dean West used that budget to sell Wayne Security to LexCorp. The team thought they were getting fired, but learned their new job benefits included nachos, spa treatments and dolphin swimming. Van stumbled onto the wormhole the aliens were coming from, and the team were going to be turned into nacho cheese, but Jackie saved the day with her new Flash powers. Last Minute Reveal: The team caught Dean West talking to a tree and learned that they might still have their jobs!

This is the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday April 15th, 2017 as submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. All the CW superhero shows took the week off so there were only 2 new fun and quirky episodes this week: iZombie: Liv and Major ate the brains of a father and daughter who were murdered in a car crash. Major was oozing with teen drama and learned that Fillmore Graves feeds its zombies mashed up brains in tubes that don't cause visions. Liv and Clive figured out the victims were killed by the girl's best friend's mom, because they knew the best friend was sleeping with her stepdad. Cavanaugh questioned Clive about Wally's murder and we learned through flashbacks that Clive rescued Wally and his mom Anna from an abusive dad, and looked after them until Anna decided to move in with her brother. When Liv and Clive questioned Wally's neighbor they learned of a message board full of humans who know about Zombies and want to harm them. Last Minute Reveal: Clive admitted to Cavanaugh that he often thinks about how things might have been different if he stayed in Wally and Anna's lives!   Powerless: After saving Green Fury from an explosion while she was distracted by reporters asking about her breakup with Olympian, Emily pitched GF as a spokesperson for a flame-retardant poncho. GF agreed and after the Wayne Security board wanted to sex up the ad, GF got the Olympian to join in. The ad went great and GF got a call from JL Europe. Teddy tried using focus groups to make himself cool for Green Fury, and learned from Ron that it's best to just be him.  Jackie was upset with Wendy for making friends with her daughter Ruby and not telling Jackie why Ruby punched a boy and got suspended. Damn pinky swears! After Ruby admitted the boy was making fun of Jackie there were hugs and sorries. Last Minute Reveal: Van started talking to Green Fury about the importance of sticking to your principles and Green Fury flew away mid-sentence!

This is the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday April 8th, 2017 as submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 2 Finale: Rip made contact with the team, grew the Waverider to normal size, and the Legends all headed back to World War I France. Reverse Flash followed them back, literally ripped Atom's heart from his body, and destroyed the Jesus blood. The surviving team was discovered by their past counterparts. There was a whole big showdown-faceoff-battle-royal-fight-for-all-the-paiella-thingy. Heroes died, there were dozens of Reverse Flashes, and it all came to a head when White Canary decided to use the Spear of Destiny. She had a nice talk with a spirit of her dead sister, Laurel, and decided it was best to let Laurel stay dead. When she came out of it the Spear had been depowered, a Speed wraith killed the Reverse Flash. The other LoD members were returned to their previous times and mindwiped. Oh, and Vixen decided to stay with Steel instead of going back to 1942. Last Minute Reveal: The Waverider got caught in a time storm and crash landed in Los Angeles 2017, which is now filled with weird futuristic architecture and dinosaurs!   iZombie - Season 3 Premiere: Vivian Stoll, CEO of military contractor Fillmore Graves, had her small zombie army cover up the zombie massacre at Max Rager. Back at her HQ, Vivian laid out to Liz and friends her plan for D-Day (when humans discover zombies), an island being built into a zombie haven, and a school of zombie kids. One of the kids was Clive's friend Wally. Major had to drink bad coffee and got his house vandalized because he was the chaos killer. Ravi continued his labwork, trying to compensate for the retrograde amnesia his zombie cure causes, and struggled to get over the fact that Peyton and Blaine had a thing. Blaine started piecing together the truth about his life before amnesia and asked Peyton if he and she had a thing. Scott thawed out Angus and they are planning to deliver serious payback to Blaine. The security guard from Max Rager told his story on a wacko conservative radio show. Someone brutally murdered Wally and his family, and may be targeting zombies. Last Minute Reveal: Liv saw Major training with the soldiers-for-hire. He is working for Fillmore Graves!   Powerless: Teddy was saved by Green Fury, got smitten, and ignored his real girlfriend, Hannah, trying to get rescued again. In the end he chose Hannah but blew it when he had another awkward moment with Green Fury. Van's mom remodeled his old room and shipped all his childhood toys to Wayne Security. Emily wanted her own office, and challenged Van to a Green Arrow Dart match to get it. The team tried to get Emily to throw the match. Van actually won on his own and gave Emily the office anyway. Emily told Van everyone's been letting him win all his life, and Van was crushed. Jackie told Emily what a jerk she was and Emily cheered up Van by reminding him they are both on the same team. Last Minute Reveal: Van was about to sneeze… and then he didn't. Well, he sort of did but it wasn't that bad!

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #312 Powerless 1x01 - Wayne or Lose | Recap & ReviewEmily is late for her new job at Wayne Security when a battle between Crimson Fox and jack O Lantern derails her train.  She seems to be the only person interested as people in Charm City see this kind of thing every day.  Emily once had a monotonous job at an insurance company in a fly-over state (a state where superheroes fly over but never stop).  Now she's off to make a difference in an office with a bunch of quirky inventors who are quirky and make products like the Joker anti-venom epipen. Except, none of their ideas are very good, and neither are the bosses Bruce Wayne's cousin Van has hired to corral and inspire these people. Emily is the latest in a long line.  Oh, and Van? Hoping to leave the taint that is Charm City.  He gets his chance when his batty cousin gives him a call and tells him Wayne Security is closing down. Van is excited to learn he'll get his chance to be absorbed into the Gotham office until Emily does her job and introduces a supervillain detection device that Bruce loves.  Bruce keeps everyone aboard, Van is stuck in Charm City, and Emily has won the respect of her colleagues.

Hola mensaheros y mensaheras, hemos vuelto, os traemos noticias del mes de Enero. – La ONU retira a Wonder Woman su cargo de embajadora por su imagen “sexualizada” El pasado 21 de octubre Wonder Woman (el personaje de Comic) se convirtío en Embajadora Honorífica de la ONU para el Empoderamiento de las Mujeres y Niñas. Pues bien, no le ha durado ni dos meses ese cargo honorífico, porque la Amazona ha recibido miles de críticas, (45.000 para ser exactos) porque consideran que “la versión actual del personaje trata de una mujer blanca de grandes proporciones, enorme pecho y poco vestuario en un reluciente traje que deja el muslo desnudo”. Y vamos a ver, está claro que una mujer medio en pelotas no parece ser una buena elección para defender derechos. Por su parte DC ha respondido que precisamente Wonder Woman representa la paz, la justicia y la igualdad y que durante más de 75 años ha sido una motivación de fuerza para muchos. – Estrellas de cine que rechazaron papeles en películas de Superheroes. – Antes que Hugh Jackman fuera tanteado para hacer de Lobezno en X-Men del año 2000, los productores le dieron la opción a Russel Crowe que, increíblemente lo rechazó argumentando una extraña razón: acababa de rodar ‘Gladiator’, y su personaje en la película tenía como mascota un lobo. “No quería ser relacionado con un lobo de nuevo”, afirmó en una entrevista con Acces Hollywood. – Matt Damon, reconoció que le ofrecieron ser ‘Daredevil’ (2003) antes que a Ben Affleck. Y el motivo de rechazarlo fue que, a Damon no le convenció el guión. “Ben es más emocional y no pudo decir que no”. Matt reconoció que aceptaría hacer el papel si Christopher Nolan dirigiese la película, pero a día de hoy esto es prácticamente imposible ya que Charlie Cox lo está bordando en la serie ‘Daredevil’, y Nolan está estrechamente vinculado con el universo DC. – Joseph Gordon Lewitt se equivocó a lo grande al rechazar ser Peter Quill en ‘Guardianes de la Galaxia’ y lo hizo para aparecer en la muy fallida ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ (2014). El papel, fue como todos sabemos para Chris Pratt, mientras que Gordon-Levitt, quizás estaba esperando que Nolan hiciese algo más con su Robin de ‘El Caballero Oscuro: La leyenda renace’. – Nuestra primera chica en la lista: a la guapísima Emili Blunt, (No vale reírse) le ofrecieron ser nada menos que Peggy Carter, la enamorada de Steve Rogers, en “Capitán América el primer Vengador” de 2011, al parecer la joven visionaria estaba demasiado ocupada rodando ‘Los viajes de Gulliver’ cuando desde Marvel le llamaron para ofrecerle el papel que fue aceptado por Hayley Atwell, que llegaría a tener serie propia (‘Agent Carter’). Curiosamente Emili Blunt en una entrevista años antes dijo que: “los roles femeninos en las películas de Superheroes eran papeles poco agradecidos, ya que ellas son las novias del héroe y ellos van revoloteando de aquí para allá para salvar el mundo”. -No menos guapa es la siguiente actriz, que pudimos ver como Psylocke en X-Men: Apocalipsis. Olivia Munn, aquí la amiga, antes de ser Psylocke rechazó interpretar a otro personaje de Marvel . Le ofrecieron ser Vanessa Carlysle, la novia prostituta de Wade Wilson en Deadpool. A la actriz no le parecía bien ser “la novia del heroe” pero se equivocó: el personaje, finalmente encarnado por Morena Baccarin, tiene mucha más chicha de lo que ella pensaba que sería una simple dama en apuros. –Mel Gibson reconoció que Marvel contactó con él para interpretar a Odin, rey de Asgard y padre de ‘Thor’, en la película de 2011. “No lo hice”, fue el único comentario que realizó al respecto. El papel, como todos sabéis, acabó siendo para Anthony Hopkins. -El director Scott Derrickson, artífice de Dr.Strange tenía clarísimo desde hacía mucho tiempo que quería a Cumberbatch para el papel, peeeeero los jerifantes de Marvel Studios, no pensaban de la misma forma, ya que ellos querían Sí o Sí a Joaquin Phoenix. Pero el actor rechazó el papel porque odia trabajar en un estudio rodeado de pantallas verdes. Vamos, que no le gustan los efectos visuales al muchacho…… -Si os digo Giancarlo Esposito seguramente no tendréis ni idea de a quién me refiero, pero si os hablo de Gustavo que es dueño de la cadena de comida rápida de Pollos Hermanos en ‘Breaking Bad’, supongo que ya lo teneis localizado. Pues bien Giancarlo, rechazó una oferta de Marvel para unirse a alguna de sus series en Netflix. Los rumores lo situaban en Marvel's Most Wanted, o incluso en Luke Cage o Jessica Jones. Esposito supuestamente habría dicho que no ya que consideró que si aparecía en una serie de Marvel se cerraba las puertas a que le ofrecieran aparecer en alguna película del Universo Cinematográfico, algo que le apetece mucho más. -Quinton Rampage Jackson, famoso por ser luchador de artes marciales mixtas, y porque encarnó a M.A. Baracus en ‘El equipo A’ (2010), rechazó ser John Wraith en ‘X-Men Orígenes: Lobezno’ (2009), un papel que finalmente asumió el rapero Will.i.am. El motivo por el cual dijo que no, era porque estaba entrenándose para un importante combate… que perdió contra Forrest Griffin en 2008. En todo caso, la película tampoco fue gran cosa. -Un apocalipsis zombi aniquilará a la humanidad en solo 100 días (Noticia de MisteryPlanet) Parece ser que escasea el trabajo en los laboratorios científicos de la Universidad de Leicester y los investigadores ataviados con bata blanca y con el ojo pegado a microscopios han decidido invertir su tiempo en algo realmente útil para la sociedad. Estos Científicos han modelado el apocalipsis zombi como si fuera una epidemia real. El cálculo ha demostrado que tan solo 100 días de epidemia causarían estragos en el planeta. Estos ociosos investigadores británicos han usado herramientas de matemáticas y epidemiología, para averiguar en cuántos días la humanidad desaparecerá de la faz de la tierra si en algún Día nuestro planeta fuera testigo de un apocalipsis zombi. Para su estudio, publicado en Journal of Physics Special Topics, los investigadores recurrieron al modelaje matemático de epidemias, que ayuda a describir el escenario de la propagación de una enfermedad entre toda la población. Este modelo examina las tasas con las cuales las infecciones se propagan y extinguen a medida que los individuos de la población entran en contacto unos con otros. En el escenario creado para el estudio, cada zombi es capaz de encontrar al menos un humano al día, teniendo 90 % de posibilidades de infectarlo y convertirlo en uno de ellos. La cantidad de personas en el momento del inicio de la epidemia en el modelo es casi la actual: 7.500 millones. Con estos índices, el cálculo de los investigadores ha demostrado, que en tan solo 100 días de epidemia la población de la Tierra se vería reducida a 200 individuos, lo que significa que la repoblación del planeta sería prácticamente imposible. – 20 años después Michael Keaton desvela porque se negó a seguir haciendo de Batman. Michael Keaton que nos deleitó luciendo el manto de Batman en las dos primeras películas de la era moderna, acaba de desvelar porque no continuó con la tercera parte del Batman de Joel Shumacker. Después de Batman de 1989 y Batman Returns del 92, las dos dirigidas por Tim Burton, llegaba Batman Forever en el 95, en esa ocasión decidieron que Tim burton quedara fuera del proyecto y ficharon a Joel Schumacker el cual aterrizó con un planteamiento que no gustó nada a Michael Keaton que ha reconocido lo siguiente: “El guión apestaba y nunca fue bueno, además sabía que habría problemas desde el momento que Schumacher dijo: ¿Por qué todo tiene que ser tan oscuro? – Llega Powerless, la comedia televisiva de DC Comics.20 años después Michael Keaton desvela porque se negó a seguir haciendo de Batman. ¿Porque no podemos imaginar una comedia relacionada con superhéroes reales?, eso precisamente es lo que se han atrevido a hacer con Powerless, donde nos situan en las oficinas de Wayne Security y nos presentan a un grupo de empleadors que trabajan para descubrir formas de proteger a la ciudad de los Superheroes. Por su parte Marvel ha copiado la idea y ya está preparando Damage Control, otra comedia que trata sobre un equipo de limpieza que reconstruye el caos creado por los Superheroes cada vez que salvan el mundo. -Os vamos a explicar algo que hará que cambiéis vuestra opinión sobre Tobey Maguire. Nuestro amigo Otto nos ha abierto los ojos mandándonos una noticia impresionante. Tirad atrás vuestros recuerdos hacia la primera película de Spiderman de Sam Raimi protagonizada por Tobey Maguire, pues bien, en la escena de la cafetería cuando Mary Jane resbala y lanza al aire la bandeja con todo lo que llevaba encima (un sandwich, una manzana, un tetrabrik y un plato con gelatina) nuestro amigo Peter Parker se levanta raudo y veloz, agarra a la chica por la cintura y con la otra mano atrapa la bandeja y va moviéndola de izquierda a derecha consiguiendo coger todos los alimentos sin que se caigan. La escena es chula verdad???, pues que opináis ahora si os digo que no se usó CGI ni ningún efecto de cable ni nada por el estilo, que Tobey lo hizo todo con sus reflejos y que para conseguirlo rodó la escena unas 156 veces. -Otro actor al que se le va la boca y habla más de la cuenta. Esta vez no ha sido nuestro amigo Mark Rufalo, que tan acostumbrado nos tiene a cagarla, sino que fue el actor Sterling K.Brown que actuará en Black Panther el que orgullosísimo de formar parte del elenco del Universo cinematográfico Marvel se puso a hablar en una entrevista diciendo que ya conocía a Chadwik Boseman (actor protagonista de Black Panther) y que era un honor trabajar con él y junto a ganadores de los premios de la academia como Michael B Jordan(que vimos en Creed y como antorcha humana en los 4 Fantasticos), con Danai Gurira, Forest Whitaker, y Phylicia Rashad. Y fue este último nombre, el de Phylicia Rashad el que se coló entre los mencionados como si tal cosa, -Ben Affleck recupera la confianza en Batman. O los estudios Warner juegan al despiste con nosotros, o realmente no tienen ni idea de por donde les da el aire en el proyecto de la película en solitario de Batman. Hace menos de un mes, se supo que Ben Affleck había perdido la esperanza en The Batman y confirmando que abandonaría el proyecto si no era capaz de sacar un buen guión adelante. Y ahora dos semanas después de casi tirar por los sueles las esperanzas de millones de personas Affleck se desmarca diciendo que ha recuperado la confianza y cree que terminara satisfactoriamente (como si de una galleta china se tratara). Estoy muy emocionado ha dicho, hay grandes cosas en el guion y ahora solo hay que mejorarlas. – Spiderman y Gamora se apuntan a la fiesta de Infinity Wars. Aunque la sorpresa ha saltado, creo que nos lo podíamos imaginar verdad?? Spiderman está claro que va a estar en todas y cada una de las películas donde aparezcan los vengadores, y lo de Gamora sabiendo que es hija de Thanos, que aunque sea adoptiva es el vínculo bastante difícil de obviar. – Parece ser que James Gunn (director de Guardianes de la Galaxia), le ha cogido el gustillo a los superhéroes y ya tiene otro en el punto de mira. Aquí el amigo haciendo lo que nosotros en Mensaheros conocemos como hacer un Ojo de Halcón, ha dicho en Twitter: “..Oh dios mío, me encanta Moon Knight y tengo una idea cojonuda para hacer una película, yo solo deseo que tenga tiempo para hacerla. – Seguimos con las noticias de Batman para que nos imaginemos que están haciendo una película cojonuda. Ben Affleck ha vuelto a pronunciarse esta vez sobre Zack Snyder, diciendo que la película que está dirigiendo, refiriéndose a la liga de la justicia, va a ser como un “renacimiento” del Universo extendido de DC. Además Affleck no para de, como hemos dicho, jugar al despiste y darnos un montón de datos a cuentagotas para que los fans como tontos nos vayamos emocionando. Lo que no sabe el amigo Ben es que quizá tanta noticia pequeña y a veces inútil, lo único que puede conseguir es que nos acabemos hartando antes del estreno. Ahora se ha buscado una compañía femenina para la película en solitario de The Batman y ha pensado en la actriz Sienna Miller para interpretar a Vicki Vale o incluso a Catwoman. Lo que ocurre es que en el supuesto caso que Affleck decida que su compañera en la película sea Catwoman, aquí habrá una pelea de gallos, ya que David Ayer, que será el director de Gotham Sirens ha declarado una decena de veces que quiere a una Catwoman latina. Y si quieren darle una continuidad a las historias a modo de conexión no podrán elegir diferentes actrices. – Lo que nos viene en la tercera temporada de Gotham. (Noticia con un mini spoiler) A finales de enero vuelve Gotham. En la primera temporada pudimos ver en un solo episodio a Jerome Valeska, un chico timido al principio del capítulo que acabó desquiciado para terminar el capítulo con una carcajada tan tétrica y maléfica que los amantes de Batman no pudimos hacer otra cosa que emocionarnos y decir: Guauuuuu, es él. En la segunda temporada lo volvimos a ver pero (y es aquí donde viene el spoiler), el odioso Theo Galavan, acabó matándolo para beneficiarse. Pues bien en un pequeño teaser que no muestra nada en absoluto, sino que únicamente escenas sueltas sin sentido, podemos ver a un Jerome Valeska desfigurado pero vivo y riéndose como un auténtico Joker. Es impresionante las ansias que ha generado este personaje en todo el mundo. Miles de fans esperan que vuelva y han pedido que sea definitivamente el joker que todo el mundo quiere. Los productores han escuchado las peticiones y parece que han hecho caso, textualmente John Stephens productor ejecutivo afirmó que: “Alguien que básicamente ha pasado por la muerte y vuelve a la vida tiene un punto de vista muy diferente. Es extraño decir que él está mas desquiciado que antes”. Pinta mal para el agente Gordon con tanto villano suelto: Pingüino, Enygma, Sr. Frío, Jerome Valeska si realmente es quien es, y acaban también de desvelar que aparecerá otro personaje mítico y típico en el último capítulo de esta tercera temporada que desarrollará la trama central de la cuarta temporada. – Entrevista con el Vampiro también prepara su salto a la Televisión. Si yo os hablo de Crónicas Vampíricas, por favor ni se os ocurra mencionar a ese batiburrillo entre Sensación de vivir y Drácula con los hermanos Salvatore de protagonistas. Crónicas vampíricas es una joya literaria que trata sobre las andanzas del vampiro Lestat, seguramente lo recordareis por la película del 1994 que protagonizó Tom Cruise como Lestat, Brad Pitt como el vampiro Louis y Antonio Banderas como Armand. Pues bueno Anne Rice la escritora acaba de recuperar los derechos de la saga y planea una adaptación a serie. – Gracias a nuestro amigo Normion por enviar la noticia que va a hacer de una vez por todas disipar las dudas. Aprovechamos para comunicaros que hace muy poquito han confirmado que el 20 de febrero por la noche, estrenarán en España en el canal Boing, la nueva saga de Dragon Ball llamada Dragon Ball Super. -De ser el villano de una película de Superheroes, pasará a tener película propia. Nos ha quedado claro en infinidad de ocasiones que hay actores que caen en gracia, y eso es lo que ha pasado con Dwayne Johnson el actor que además producirá Shazam, ha tenido que gustar mucho a la productora New Line porque ha conseguido una película en solitario de su Black Adam. Podemos estar hablando de la primera película de un villano???? Tras la noticia, comienzan a cuadrar la reunión que tuvo Geoff Johns con el actor. La verdad es que no tiene sentido tener a un actor de la talla de Dwayne Johnson solamente para encarnar a un villano considerado como un papel menor. Ahora empiezan los rumores, e incluso hablan de que como quieren introducirlo en el Universo DC puede que no sea el villano de Shazam pero sí podría aparecer en una secuela, e incluso se habla de que podría aparecer en Aquaman a modo de intro. – A la hora de escribir pancartas, no hay nadie como Supergirl. Hemos dicho por activa y por pasiva que Melisa Benoist, la actriz que da vida a Supergirl en la serie, nos encanta y que todo lo que hace es digno de admirar, pues bien, sigue haciendo cosas que son dignas de admirar al menos desde nuestro punto de vista. No sé si recordáis las declaraciones de Donald Trump, en las que decía ante un presentador de la NBC, que era capaz de agarrar una mujer por sus partes porque ninguna se le podía resistir. Pues bueno nuestra Supergirl, ni corta ni perezosa se ha ido a una manifestación anti Trump luciendo una pancarta en la que decía: “Hey Donald, don't try to grab my Pussy. It's made of Steel”, Donald, no me intentes agarrar el coño porque el mío está hecho de acero – El mundo de los Superheroes es algo mucho más serio de lo que imagináis. (noticia enviada por Manu S2) Y si no que se lo digan a Lan Diep, un concejal de California que el pasado mes de enero juró el cargo de concejal con una mano alzada y la otra en lugar de reposarla en la Biblia que es lo que viene siendo habitual, llevaba un auténtico escudo del Capitán América porque según dijo “el escudo representa los ideales de Estados Unidos” MUCHAS GRACIAS a todos los mini Productores de la red por colaborar a través de Patreon a este y otros podcast de la red, tu también puedes colaborar con este podcast y otros entrando en https://www.patreon.com/Nacionpodcast y apoyando el proyecto, a cambio entrarás en sorteos mensuales y podrás acceder a contenido exclusivo cómo vídeos o podcasts.
