#77: Batman: Under the Hood, Eric Clapton, DC Universe Streaming Service…Oscar Isaac for Batman!?

WELCOME GANG to another big SHOW, the last episode before Dave goes to Hawaii for his holiday and STEW TAKES OVER for 3 weeks!

Don’t worry kids, Dave will be back and is full of ranting this episode to make up for his up coming absence!

There was a big Kevin Smith presentation on the Dc Universe streaming service that is launching on batman Day, Sept 15 which we discuss in detail, Oscar Isaac is linked to The Batman, and there’s speculation Batfleck might be uninsurable for the Batman, if he is used at all.

We take a swing at the appalling standards of journalism at CBR, and there’s an interesting look at recent example of “Insult apology” by Bendis on Superman, while our favourite debate about ninjas makes a comeback!

RIP Gary Friedrich, Marie Severin , and Russ Heath. All legends, go in peace. You changed the world with your work.

Dave is excited about Red Dead Redemption 2, and the guys critique the upcoming Heroes in Crisis event by Tom King. Dave’s dad almost stopped the car when he heard Batman and Superman were headed for therapy!

Get ready for next week when Stew takes CONTROL! Aloha!

#24: Batgirl Year One, Scorcese Joker, Chuck Dixon’s Record, Bat Bots

Dave and his cohost, The Main Man STEW light up the night sky with another episode of Signal of Doom! This is a massive show covering a LOT of news – we cover DC & Warners latest movie making moves that still seem shrouded in chaos, Davis called AFFABLE by Flint Henry and is very proud, Chuck Dixon smashes the comic page count writing record with 40,000 pages ,  we talk Netflix Defenders, Disney’s up coming streaming service, Stew and Dave make a bet about Suicide Squad vs Justice League, Stew collects on a previous bet, and there is a lengthy of what a Harley and Joker movie will do to Gotham City Sirens chances of a release. The appearance of Martin Scorcese as a reported producer on a Joker origin movie is as interesting as it is confusing. On top of that we discuss the wonderful Batgirl: Year One by Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty and Marcos Martin, Dave and Stew argue once again about Punisher, we relive the story of Microchip and his son’s death, Dave finds out who is playing Microchip and is somewhat annoyed it is not a big guy in a Hawaiian shirt. We do have some echo recording issues about half way through this podcast and my apologies for that, blame the eclipse!  Also, we hear Dave’s true feelings about Casey Affleck, and BUY the Batbot at Kings Comics! THIS AND MUCH MORE! BEAM THE SIGNAL!
