Welcome to Word Balloon, the podcast that dives deep into the art and craft behind the comics you love. In today's festive yet fierce chapter of the DC Universe, we're exploring one of the most delightfully unexpected team-ups in comics history. Imagine the Dark Knight of Gotham City — brooding on rooftops, stalking shadows… now pair him with a man in a red suit who slides down chimneys and actually trained him once. Batman and Santa Claus together, facing supernatural forces, holiday horror, and the kind of mythic storytelling only a master like Jeff Parker can deliver. In this episode, Jeff — writer of Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight and its winter sequel — joins us to talk about his new weekly DC Comics series, how Santa fits into the DC Universe, the lore behind their partnership, and why this strange yet wonderful story is resonating with fans this holiday season. So strap in for ghosts, gods, demons, and yuletide myth — because this isn't just Christmas with the Caped Crusader… it's Silent Knight, and it's one wild ride.
Batman roasting on an open fire; Knightcast nipping at your ears... The dynamic hosting duo of Chris Franklin and Ryan Daly have brought special guest Captain Entropy to help them cover a classic* Christmas comic. Join the Trinamic Trio as they discuss Legends of the Dark Knight #79 written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve Yeowell and Dick Giordano. After that, Chris and Ryan respond to listener feedback from the last four episodes. * The mid-90s counts as classic. It was 30 years ago. Have a question or comment? Looking for more great content?

Expanding the WorldWhat's it like contributing to a Tim Burton universe project?What excited you most about the chance to tell a new story within The Nightmare Before Christmas universe, and how did you approach capturing that distinct mix of spooky and sweet?2. Character FocusSally takes center stage in this series. What aspects of her character did you want to explore or expand on that fans haven't seen before?3. The New CreationDr. Finkelstein's latest creation, Shiver, sounds like a charming new addition to Halloween Town. What inspired this character, and what role does Shiver play in the story's themes?4. Trick-or-Treat Trio TroubleLock, Shock, and Barrel are fan favorites for their chaotic energy. How was it writing for those three troublemakers, especially as they head off to Christmas Town?5. Visual CollaborationEdu Menna's art brings a lot of gothic personality to the book. How did you two work together to strike the balance between Burton-esque atmosphere and the fun of a family-friendly adventure?6. Tone and AudienceThe series is described as “perfect for all ages.” How did you balance writing something that works for longtime fans of the film and younger readers discovering Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time?7. Franchise LegacyThe Shiver of Christmas Town follows Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: The Graphic Novel. How does this story build on that ongoing relationship between Dynamite and Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas world?8. The Magic of Halloween (and Christmas)Without giving too much away, what do you hope readers take away from this story about the magic—or mischief—of the holiday spirit?9. Character and Tone Your work often blends grit and introspection—how are you approaching Selina Kyle's duality as both a thief and protector in your Catwoman run, and what new sides of her character are you most excited to explore?

Is Wolverine about to slash his way back into the spotlight? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down a newly discovered Wolverine trademark listing that has fans speculating a brand-new movie or TV series centered on Logan — and yes, the big question is whether Hugh Jackman could be involved once again. We also dive into major DC and Marvel updates shaking up the industry. James Gunn and Peter Safran have officially been confirmed to remain in charge of DC Studios, even after the massive Netflix–Warner Bros. Discovery merger, raising big questions about the future of the DCU and upcoming projects like Superman and Batman. On the Marvel side, Avengers: Doomsday is making headlines with confirmation that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers. Could this mean a full comeback as Captain America, or will we finally see him suit up as Nomad? We break down the possibilities and what it could mean for the MCU moving forward. Plus, Superman star David Corenswet may have accidentally ignited a firestorm of speculation after comments that fans believe hint at DC Studios finally casting their next Batman. Is this real insider intel or fan overreach? We discuss all angles. Join Kristian and the crew as they analyze, speculate, and react to the biggest movie and comic book news of the day.

Junk Food Dinner returns for our annual holiday celebration and this year we're feeling particularly nostalgic! Up first, The Muppets gang crashes at Fozzy's mom's house for the holidays and they're bringing all their friends, even the Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock crew, in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas. Then, we revisit one of Sean's favorite holiday traditions; we see what movies and electronics film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were recommending folks pick up in the Siskel and Ebert's 1990 Holiday Video Gift Guide! And finally, in the summer of 1992, one of biggest films was the blockbuster sequel Batman Returns. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned but this time Batman squares off against The Penguin (played by Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). But is it a Christmas movie? You bet your Batmobile it is! All this plus holiday cheer from our buddy Peter, tributes to some fallen heroes, Sean's epic new video mix tape and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

Min 4: AVATAR 3: FUEGO Y CENIZA (3 estrellas) Avatar 3, dirigida por James Cameron y protagonizada de nuevo por Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang y Kate Winslet, se presenta como el estreno que llevábamos tiempo esperando para sentarnos a analizarlo en Estamos de Cine: un nuevo descenso a Pandora que promete ir más allá del deslumbramiento visual para adentrarse en zonas más incómodas y maduras del universo Avatar. Cameron amplía el mapa emocional y moral de la saga introduciendo nuevas culturas na'vi y un conflicto menos maniqueo, donde la épica convive con la culpa, la pérdida y la idea de que no toda resistencia es pura ni toda tecnología es el enemigo. Sin renunciar a su músculo técnico —pensado una vez más para la experiencia en sala—, Avatar 3 apunta a ser el capítulo que tensiona de verdad el relato, cuestiona a sus propios héroes y obliga al espectador a mirar Pandora no como un paraíso idealizado, sino como un mundo vivo, contradictorio y frágil, en el que cada elección deja cicatrices. Min 18: KEEPER (3 estrellas) Keeper, dirigida por Osgood Perkins y protagonizada por Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk, Abogada Hulka; Orphan Black) y Rossif Sutherland, llega como uno de los títulos de terror más comentados de 2025, y el resultado es un film tan inquietante como polarizador: una experiencia que funciona mejor como estudio de atmósfera y miedo sutil que como narrativa sólida y cohesionada para Estamos de Cine. Min 23: VIDA PRIVADA (3 estrellas) Vida privada (Vie privée), dirigida por Rebecca Zlotowski y protagonizada por Jodie Foster en uno de los papeles más singulares de su carrera (interpretando a la prestigiosa psiquiatra Lilian Steiner), llega a las salas como una de las propuestas francófonas más originales de la temporada navideña. Thriller de investigación con aroma clásico que se enreda deliberadamente con elementos de comedia negra, drama psicológico y reflexión sobre la identidad profesional y personal. Min 26: EL EXTRANERO (3,5 estrellas) El extranjero, la nueva película dirigida por François Ozon y estrenada este viernes, es una adaptación audaz y cinematográfica del clásico existencialista de Albert Camus (L'Étranger), que analizamos en Estamos de Cine como una pieza que inquieta tanto por su fidelidad lírica al texto original como por su reinterpretación de sus temas más controvertidos para el presente. Ozon —conocido por su habilidad para explorar capas psicológicas y sociales en relatos aparentemente sencillos” rehúye una mera traducción literal y, en vez de ello, propone una lectura que enfatiza el carácter sensorial y la experiencia subjetiva del protagonista, Meursault (interpretado por Benjamin Voisin), un hombre cuya indiferencia ante la vida y la muerte se convierte en espejo de un mundo que no sólo no comprende sus emociones, sino que lo condena por su incapacidad para expresar las que se esperan de él. Min 33: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON ALBERTO VÁZQUEZ (DECORADO) Con un flamante Premio Forqué bajo el brazo y con claras opciones de cara al Goya, el director de la película animada "Decorado", Alberto Vázquez nos confiesa por qué el aclamado cortometraje de animación "Padre e hija" ( 2000. Michael Dudok de Wit) es el título que marcó su amor por el cine y su apuesta por la animación para emocionar. Min 36: AGUSTÍN ALMODÓVAR NOS AVANZA LAS FECHAS CLAVE DE "AMARGA NAVIDAD" La conexión entre la productora El Deseo y Estamos de Cine sigue funcionando y, en el último momento, al límite de la hora, nuestra pisano Agustín Almodóvar nos sorprende con un audio en el que nos confirma y concreta algunas de las fechas clave que la productora maneja para el estreno del último y esperado trabajo de Pedro: "Amarga Navidad". Min 38: ESPECIAL BSO "ZOOTRÓPOLIS 2" (3,75 estrellas) La banda sonora de Zootrópolis 2, compuesta por Michael Giacchino (Up, Inside Out, The Batman), es uno de los grandes valores narrativos de la secuela y confirma al compositor como una pieza esencial del ADN emocional de la saga. Giacchino retoma los motivos jazzísticos y urbanos que definían la identidad sonora de la primera película y los expande con mayor sofisticación rítmica y orquestal, acompañando el nuevo tono del relato, más adulto y menos ingenuo, sin perder el espíritu lúdico que caracteriza a Judy Hopps y Nick Wilde.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Acceso anticipado para Fans - En La Guarida del Sith nos ponemos el traje con pezones, encendemos los neones y regresamos a Batman Forever, una de las películas más discutidas, excesivas y descaradamente noventeras del Caballero Oscuro. Una cinta que dividió a los fans, marcó una era y convirtió Gotham en una fiesta de colores, villanos pasados de vueltas y decisiones creativas que aún hoy siguen dando que hablar. Analizamos el salto de tono respecto a las películas de Burton, el Batman de Val Kilmer, la dupla villanesca formada por Enigma y Dos Caras, el peso del espectáculo frente al personaje, la música, la estética videoclipera y ese espíritu de blockbuster de los 90 que ya no existe… para bien o para mal. Un programa para reivindicarla, destrozarla con cariño o ambas cosas a la vez, porque Batman Forever es una de esas películas imposibles de ignorar. Con Miguel Ángel, Frikilandias, Ricky y El Mamado Lidel, en un episodio cargado de debate, nostalgia, risas y amor-odio por una obra tan exagerada como inolvidable. Ponte cómodo, ajusta la batseñal y acompáñanos en este viaje directo al corazón del Batman más pop de la historia.

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.Well, we have come to the end of 2025, and what a year it was for DC, as we celebrated our theme of World's Finest with many episodes dedicated to the Man of Steel.As big as 2025 was though, 2026 for DC is shaping up to be massive! We couldn't think of a better way to close out 2025 than by looking ahead to 2026. It's just Daniel and Kris in the Batcave today, as they break down many exciting projects for DC in 2026, as well as 2027. You know we had to close it out with some of the Matt Reeves The Batman: Part II news.Aside from Batman, the bat crew break down what to expect with Supergirl, Lanterns, Clayface, and what's next for Superman in the 2027 announced sequel, Man of Tomorrow!Oh. They also open the show giving their thoughts on that whole WB-Netflix news, as well as some of the Paramount developments in conjunction with this. It does involve DC, after all. We got to talk about it!Also, please keep in mind, this was recorded before the Supergirl and Lanterns trailers were dropped.And…at the end of the show, the duo TEASE next year's Batman by the Numbers theme! You don't want to miss it!
Episode Notes Jon Parker of The BatMinute returns with Rob as Garber and Rico continue their search for the culprit in an apartment building and in a tollbooth with a hidden child in the backseat.
Christopher Chance is running out of time and the suspects are closing in. In Part 3 of our deep dive into The Human Target by Tom King and Greg Smallwood, things get darker, weirder, and far more personal. With only days left to live, Chance continues his noir-soaked investigation into who poisoned him…and every lead still points back to the Justice League International. This episode covers issues 7–9, featuring: A tense, seductive confrontation with Fire The emotional fallout with Ice Brutal encounters (and interrogations) involving Rocket Red And the looming shadow of Batman, watching from the edges Tom King's writing leans hard into classic noir tragedy, while Greg Smallwood's art elevates every punch, silence, and stare. This is a story about obsession, sacrifice, and what it costs to chase the truth, even when it kills you. Listen now and join us for the finale of the series next week.

We're discussing the feedback from Sooz Review of Jaws, and why people are real worked up about it. We learn about a woman who changed her gender on LinkedIn only to get a 400% increase in page views, so obviously we're mad about it. Sarah explains why drones are being used in warfare and it feels more dangerous than you'd think. Susie describes a study that had a man dressed as Batman entering a subway car, and the surprising effect it had on passengers, but the real surprise was the conclusions it gave scholars. We learn about a man who is wearing ridiculous pants to win a jeans contest for absolutely no reason, and Sarah cannot quit laughing at him. Plus, we hear about a trial where a mistress was fined almost $2M for breaking up a marriage, while the man was not held accountable in any way.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $35 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by going to https://auraframes.com and using promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout.For 20% off your order, head to https://reliefband.com and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're back with a one-off episode to share several exciting pieces of news! First, Lorenzo Semple's Batnotes memo (also known as "Bat Poop"), sent to prospective Batman writers, outlines Semple's concept of the show. It was thought by many to be lost, but now it has resurfaced! This time we share the seven most surprising things we found in this 14-page memo. It also inspires Paul to take a long-awaited Camping Trip! Second, our book is coming along. The plan is for it to cover Batman season one, with future books to cover the other two seasons. It's not finished, and now that we've belatedly hit on a good angle on the show, some parts that were thought to be finished may need a lot more work. We'll fill you in. Finally, we got some lavish praise from podcaster Frank Santopadre on his Fun For All Ages podcast! Aw, shucks… Plus the Smooth4Lyfe EDM version of the Batman theme!

Our hosts return to the Podcave and turn up the heat as they review “Torch Song.” Alex and Will break down the first appearance of this fiery villain, comparing this version to his comic-book origins dating back to the 1950s. They also question how Firefly managed to build a full suit and jetpack in a single night, why Cassidy is portrayed as a victim blamer, and can't deny that her music is FIRE. Plus, Firefly tries out as Boba Fett with a lightsaber, Batman tries out as Iron Man with horns, and Firefly hosts a ROAST in his honour.
