Adria Arjona Joins Man of Tomorrow + Clayface Footage Revealed | DCJ News

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:30:00 -0400

Adria Arjona has officially joined Superman: Man of Tomorrow in an unknown role, giving us a new piece of the DCU puzzle to speculate on.

We also break down the first footage from Clayface shown at CinemaCon, what we know so far, and what it might signal for Gotham in the DCU before Batman is even fully established.

From there, the conversation shifts into a bigger picture discussion about DC animation. It feels like it has taken a step back recently, and we get into why that might be, along with some concerns about how James Gunn is currently promoting DC projects.

James Gunn hit Threads with a fresh round of DCU answers, so we go full Gunn Show this week.

DC News Is Quiet So We Went Back to Batman: The Animated Series

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 16:30:00 -0400

Happy 2026. DC news is slow right now, so we did what we do best and talked Batman.

We touch on the Sebastian Stan casting chatter, where Matt Reeves is at with The Batman Part II, and how the DCU is still laying groundwork with Gods and Monsters and Clayface finally bringing us to Gotham. Then we get into the main event, a full binge rewatch of Batman The Animated Series and the Red Sky season, what holds up, what hits different as adults, and why this era of DC animation still sets the bar.

We also talk Robin and Nightwing dynamics, Batgirl’s bigger role, the Superman and Supergirl crossover, and whether Batman Beyond is next on the rewatch list.

An End of Year DC Conversation

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:30:00 -0400

This is our final episode of the year.

With DC in a moment of transition and the holidays slowing everything down, we decided to close things out with a relaxed, all DC conversation driven by listener questions. We talk about comics, movies, animation, fandom, Batman, Superman, and why DC keeps pulling us back year after year.

This episode covers everything from confusing comic storylines and underused characters to the strengths and growing pains of DC right now. No breaking news, no hot takes for clicks, just a genuine end of year conversation about the stories and characters we love.

Thank you to everyone who supported the show this year. We’re taking a short break and will be back in the new year.

The Fight for Warner Bros. is WILD! | DCJ News

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:30:00 -0400

This week we break down everything happening with the Netflix Paramount Warner Brothers situation and what it means for the future of DC. There is a lot of noise out there so we focused on the hard facts as of December 10th. What Netflix is actually buying. What Paramount is actually offering. How the breakup fees work. What regulators are already saying. And where DC Studios and the DCU land inside all of this.

We also talk about why a Netflix owned Warner Bros might be a better outcome for DC fans than a Paramount takeover and what the next few months could look like as the board reviews both paths.

If you have been confused about the headlines this episode should help cut through it.

Bat-Fam Episodes 1 and 2 Review | DCJ First Impressions

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 10:00:00 -0400

The Bat-Fam season dropped and we were not prepared for how quickly it landed, so this week we are digging into Episodes 1 and 2 and giving our first impressions before we finish the rest.

We talk about how the show picks up from Merry Little Batman, what works about the tone, why the humor lands better than it has any right to, and how the characters are reimagined in this weird little corner of Gotham. We also get into the Damian and Volcano dynamic, the Dent twins, the beard, the Batmobile, and why this series might be the most unexpectedly fun thing DC has released all year.

RE-PITCH: Phase 1 of the DCEU (Part 1)

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 12:00:00 -0400

When you spend a lot of time on a podcast reviewing and discussing things you might not like, people often say things like "Let's here YOUR ideas if you know so much!"

Alrighty, then.

This week, we begin our journey of developing our own plans for how "Phase 1" of the DCEU could've gone. We're breaking this up into parts so that there's plenty of time spent discussing each of our choices.

For Part 1, we set up the rules:

Six movies
Any and all casting choices are on the table
'Man of Steel' remains as-is

In this episode, we're each developing what we think the immediate follow-up to 'Man of Steel' would be and how it would play into the greater story at large.

This is gonna be a lot of fun!
