Let's Go! Comic Show

Friends, this episode is packed!We kick off the show talking about 2 men who contributed big time to Batman and Pop culture in general. First Denny O'Neil, who REDEFINED Batman as a creature of the night and did social commentary the best in the classic GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW Hard Traveling Heroes of the 1970s! Denny changed comics forever. Next, Joel Schumacher. He gave us 2 Batman films - he put his stamp on the character and he won't be forgotten for it. And maybe, just maybe it is ok to have fun with Batman. But he gave us so much more than that. He was a phenomenal director. The Lost Boys, A Time To Kill, Falling Down, Flatliners...tons of films. Honor his memory by checking them out. Next, we move to the DC FanDome! August is coming and DC is ready to drop huge news across TV, movies, video games, and comics! Who knows what is going to be revealed! But DC ain't waiting for everything. They are working on getting the greatest BATMAN of all time, MICHAEL KEATON, on deck for FLASHPOINT. What world is th

 Riddle me this, riddle me that, who is afraid of the BIG, BLACK BAT! Remember the 90s? When movies had synergy? Awesome soundtracks? Sweet fast food tie-ins? Nipples all over your Bat-Suit? Where were you in 1995, watching BATMAN FOREVER? We know it wasn't WATER WORLD or JUDGE DREDD - or else we would doing commentary for those films.  So hangout with us as we look back on this film that honestly isn't all that bad, but is it all that good? LET'S GO!Be a part of our Let's Go!

We talk about how STARGIRL has so far, been a pretty good show on DC UNIVERSE. We talk a bit about the weird casting call for season two of BATWOMAN, essentially replacing Kate Kane with a new character, so we talk about what it could mean long term. In the midst of social unrest, we still want to do these shows. We like to celebrate our love of comics. Hopefully provide some escape from the real world for a bit. But that may not mix well with what is happening. So we decided to highlight some of our favorite Black creators in comics. We hope it was honoring, and that you check some of their work out. LET'S GO!Be a part of our Let's Go!
