On this episode of DC on SCREEN:

Supergirl continues along its slow, box office crawl amid behind-the-scenes revelations and a possible early digital release, Batman: Caped Crusader drops a killer new season 2 trailer, Lanterns gives us more green, but keeps the costumes to themselves, Clayface is reportedly crushing test screenings, James Gunn shuts down one DCU rumor while Peter Safran teases Gorilla Grodd, Blue Beetle appears headed for Man of Tomorrow, Matt Reeves promises even deeper corruption in The Batman Part II, and IS ANIMATION HERE TO SAVE US!? Annecy delivers an avalanche of animation news—including Absolute Ba...

Did Supergirl miss the point of Woman of Tomorrow?

Man, did we want to love Supergirl. Instead, we walked away disappointed.

This episode we discuss the film's strongest positives, its biggest storytelling blunders, whether Lobo was wasted, why the emotional payoff never landed for us, and what this could all mean for the future of the DCU!

By the way, the writer of the film didn't understand what happened at the end of the book, and the director proudly explained that he didn't read the book.

On this episode of DC on SCREEN, Jason and I discuss the final trailer for Supergirl, the clip of Kara and Kal meeting for the first time, the newly-revealed armor Lex will be using to fight the man of steel in Man of Tomorrow, updates on The Batman, Part II, Batman: Caped Crusader, and Paradise Lost among other things!

We're just catchin' up with the news!

For Supergirl we have cool behind-the-scenes footage to talk about, and a description of the Cinemacon clip!

Has anyone else noticed that it's impossible to find the trailer for Lanterns on any of the official WB/DC accounts? James Gunn still has his up, though. Speaking of, that new poster and tagline sure got people upset!

We have a bit of a breakdown/reaction for the new Clayface trailer! It's not our genre typically, but it's looking pretty cool!

I'm not sure what all we even talked about this episode, but it was a whole lot more than what is written below! Not only did we discuss the Supergirl trailer teaser AND trailer, not only did we discuss the update David Jenkins gave us for Booster Gold, we somehow got into discussions on franchise tone, fan expectation, my new cornbread cast iron skillet, my new ceramic pan... I don't even know. Plus, and update on the Grant Morrison/Damon Lindelof Lanterns drama!

DC Studios came in hot this week, y'all! But we'll be catching up on like a month of news, breaking down the first official Supergirl teaser, new first-look footage from Lanterns, major updates on Man of Tomorrow, fresh The Batman, Part II rumors, and why you should probably rather Netflix get Warner Brothers Discovery rather than Paramount! All that and a whole lot more:

Throw us a weird, emotionally-stunted Supes with the mumps, an overly-dramatic Lois, Lex as a sexual predator and a subscription to the National Voyeur, cause we're getting into all the things that didn't work about this forced PG-13 debacle (and the few things that did)!

From Jimmy Olsen’s true-crime docuseries DC Crime to James Gunn’s Clayface tease, this week’s DC on SCREEN dives deep into the weirdest corners of the DC Universe — and maybe the cosmos. We’re breaking down the latest Supergirl updates, the supposed Lanterns release shuffle, and what the rumored Paramount-Warner merger could mean for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios. Also -- who the hell could Alan Ritchson be playing in the DCU? Plus: we get sidetracked by grey aliens, Betty and Barney Hill, and Valiant Thor — because of course we do.

I've been sick, so it's been a minute -- meanwhile James Gunn is out here talking up Salvation, hinting at a supernatural Batman, and letting Supergirl be as edgy as Tom King and Ana Nogueira want her to be. Of course we're trying (and failing) to process it all like responsible adults. We break down why Andy Muschietti should shut tf up about The Flash, Gunn's Lex Luthor obsession, go on a stroopwafel detour, diagnose our ADHD binge-watch habits, and so much more! This is a longie, y'all (you're welcome, Eli)!

Here's the breakdown:

How did this episode find us, you wonder? How did we like the reveal of the alternate universe's big secret? We got deep in on this one -- from why Adrian's dad wasn't gay in the alternate universe (and why Chris may have been disappearing on his family) to issues with basement keys, bush dives, and dry heaves... And of course we talk about the Beatles, that great conversation between Chris and Harcourt -- so much...

Peacemaker gets a little bit wild as we get deeper into the antics of Eagly's culturally-appropriating arch-nemesis Red St. Wild! We talk our thoughts on this episode, the internet's thoughts on it, and where we think it might be heading! Ginger Cool is batting a thousand in our hearts as is his nemesis, Langston Fleury! Also, is Red St. Wild's sorcery tapping into The Red? Will Ads go into the alternate reality with Chris and prove our Earth X theory?

Superman’s Box Office Triumph & DCU Updates

The DC Universe is taking shape, and it all starts with Superman. The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie’s success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn’t worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.

Domestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360

What we initially believed to be a short, slow episode with very little to discuss turned out to yield a lot of conversation about a possibly all-white town, undercover martians, alt Eagle theories and a whole lot more!

On this spoiler-filled review of Peacemaker 2x01 - "The Ties That Grind" we discuss Jason's predilection for breaking and entering (my ear with his beak), our love for multiverse stories, our hatred for aiming the gun back and forth while screaming, "WHICH ONE IS THE REAL ONE?", our wishes that so much of this first episode hadn't been in the trailers, and so much more! You know there's so much more, right? No one listens to this show more than once thinking, "this time they'll stay on-topic."

It's been a while since we did a news episode! For those of you encouraging us to keep it up with the long episodes, this one's for you! Just a warning though: Spoilers for Superman are abundant.

We have finally seen James Gunn's Superman! The spoiler-free segment is up first for those who haven't seen the film, and then we get into spoilers in a big bad way!

Jason and Dave discuss their thoughts about Superman III and share some fun trivia! Yeah, I know that's a short description, but that's pretty much what it is. Joking about the film, praising Richard Pryor, making fun of Lana's kid and rarely calling him the correct name... that sorta thing.

With all the greatest love and admiration and with respect to all the behind-the-scenes skullduggery that took place while this film was made, we talk about Superman II -- the theatrical (Richard Lester) cut with comparison to The Donner Cut (because the seams were too unseemly and Dave went back and subsequently found it impossible to ignore in this discussion).We can't help but have real issues with Superman II...

It was bound to happen at some point, and it finally has: wedged between the unfortunate passing of Val KIlmer and the 30th anniversary of "Batman Forever" comes our nostalgia-fueled review! We laughed, we wondered what the hell they were thinking, we laughed some more. We also enjoyed a large percentage of it, and Dave, like the ancient nomad hunter-gatherers of yesteryear, has journeyed far from his proverbial mammoth bone dwelling to forage for Forever-affiliated trivia and production factoids!
