What if the DC superhero movie universes were a bowl of spaghetti? Including the return of DC film worlds lost or only imagined, Michael Keaton's Batman and our review of The Flash (2023)
You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts! We are telling the story of DC Comics in film from Christopher Reeve's Superman to Michael Keaton's Batman through the Synderverse, all leading up to our coverage of 2023's The Flash and its take on the multiverse alongside a brief recap of the film's messy production history. Plus we speculate as to what's next for DC on film.
Ep. 102 What if the DC superhero movie universes were a bowl of spaghetti?
Including Michael Keaton’s Batman, resurrecting DC film worlds lost or only imagined, and our review of The Flash (2023)
From Infinite earths as seen in dozens of DC comic book based films
Holy film studies Batman! We explore DC Comics on film starting with Superman: The Movie through to the original Batman quartet to the Nolan trilogy and into the DC Extended Universe. Guido and Rob share childhood recollections of the first time they saw some of these films, personal favorites, and early examples of requels (hello, Superman Returns!). Plus your hosts share their differing opinions on 2023's The Flash alongside a brief and tangled history of this character coming to the screen in his own solo movie. To wrap up, we debate what is next for DC on screen, whether we will see more multiversal stories and whether that multiverse is really a big bowl of spaghetti.
