Shownotes

DC has been BUSY… and so have we.

This week on DC Junktion, Mike and Matt finally sit down for a full conversation episode to catch up on the latest DC chaos.

We break down the My Adventures with Superman Season 3 trailer and why the show keeps finding fresh ways to reinvent Superman lore. Then we dig into the newest Lanterns teaser and why it completely changed the conversation around the series.

From there, we jump into James Gunn confirming Supergirl’s growing importance in the DCU and speculate about what that could mean for Man of Tomorrow and the larger Gods & Monsters storyline.

And of course… we HAD to talk about The Batman Part II.

With Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson officially joining the cast, filming now underway, and Long Halloween theories running wild, we discuss what Matt Reeves might actually be building in Gotham.
