DC Junktion

This week we break down everything happening with the Netflix Paramount Warner Brothers situation and what it means for the future of DC. There is a lot of noise out there so we focused on the hard facts as of December 10th. What Netflix is actually buying. What Paramount is actually offering. How the breakup fees work. What regulators are already saying. And where DC Studios and the DCU land inside all of this.

We also talk about why a Netflix owned Warner Bros might be a better outcome for DC fans than a Paramount takeover and...

Matt & Mike are back to break down another chunk of our new favorite family in Gotham City!

We're absolutely loving this show and can't wait to finish the season with all of you!

If you have watched the season, keep the comments spoiler light while we catch up.

New episodes every Friday at 430 PM ET.

The Bat-Fam season dropped and we were not prepared for how quickly it landed, so this week we are digging into Episodes 1 and 2 and giving our first impressions before we finish the rest.

We talk about how the show picks up from Merry Little Batman, what works about the tone, why the humor lands better than it has any right to, and how the characters are reimagined in this weird little corner of Gotham. We also get into the Damian and Volcano dynamic, the Dent twins, the beard, the Batmobile, and why this series might be the...

When the DC news cycle slows down, we get back to what started this show in the first place — a real conversation.

This week we’re catching up on everything from the surprisingly solid State Farm Batsuit to the legacy of Kevin Conroy and why Batman The Animated Series still holds up after all these years. It’s a laid-back chat about the things we love, the comics we keep rereading, and the random corners of DC that keep us coming back.

Highlights include:

• The unexpected quality of the State Farm Bat...

No movie trailers. No breaking headlines. Just comic talk.

This week, Mike and Matt catch up on everything happening inside Absolute DC — focusing on the two powerhouse titles driving the new line: Batman and Superman.

From evolving mythologies to jaw-dropping visuals, the Absolute books are rewriting what it means to tell superhero stories on the page. The guys dig into what’s working, what’s bold, and why these runs have become must-reads for DC fans.

Topics include:

• How Absolute DC is reshaping Gotham & Metropolis

• The tone and w...

It’s Halloween season, so we’re talking costumes — superhero style.

Mike and Matt dive into the best DC movie suits ever brought to life, breaking down what makes certain designs iconic, timeless, or just plain cool.

From the golden age to the modern era, we’re looking at how costume design defines a hero and why some looks stand the test of time.

Share your favorite DC movie costume in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe for new episodes every Friday at 4:30 PM.

Comic-Con 2025 dropped a ton of DC news, and somehow we almost missed all of it. Mike and Matt catch up on everything from the reveal of DC KO and the new DC Next Level lineup to Vertigo’s comeback, the latest on Absolute DC, and the surprise Knightfall animated movie announcement.

It’s comics, chaos, and classic DC Junktion energy. No spoilers, just two nerds trying to make sense of it all.

Topics include:

• DC KO (King Omega) explained

• DC Next Level titles for 2026

• Vertigo’s return and S...

We’re counting down the Top 3 Best DC Animated Movies — no theatrical releases, just the home video and streaming classics that defined the DC Animated Universe. From Batman favorites to Superman showdowns and some underrated Justice League gems, Mike and Matt each share their personal top picks and why these movies still stand out.

If you’re a fan of DC Comics, DC animated films, or shows like Batman: The Animated Series, this episode is for you. Whether you’re revisiting classics or discovering hidden gems, we’ll break down what makes these animated movies some of DC’s best...

DC and Marvel have been rolling out some wild new crossover comics, but we couldn’t help asking: what else should be on the table?

In this episode, we pitch our dream crossovers — heroes, villains, and even creative teams we’d love to see collide. Some are obvious, some are bizarre, and some might just break the multiverse.

What crossovers would YOU put together? Let us know in the comments and tell us if DC and Marvel should just go ahead and hire us.

It’s Batman Day 2025, and Gotham is buzzing. With The Penguin racking up awards and fresh updates on Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, DC Junktion is celebrating the Dark Knight in style. This week, Mike and Matt pitch their own villain reboots for the Reeves-verse — imagining how overlooked rogues could be reimagined as grounded, prestige-level threats. From cult leaders to revolutionaries to psychological manipulators, Gotham’s underbelly has never looked darker.

Listen now and tell us: which Batman villain do you want to see get the Reeves treatment?

-

We’re back with a stacked episode! Mike and Matt dig into all the latest DCU news and rumors, including:

• Superman projected to net a $125M profit and what that really means

• The Penguin scoring 8 Creative Arts Emmy wins (and still in the hunt for Primetime Emmys)

• James Gunn’s revealing sit-down with Howard Stern – from Man of Tomorrow to Clayface and Supergirl

• DC Comics’ big NYCC 2025 plans, including the Vertigo relaunch, Gotham experiences, Jim Lee & Friends, and more

• Trailer speculation: Lanterns, Supergirl, and whether a big reveal is coming to NYCC or...

We're finally getting all caught up on the Absolute DC comics...

BUT FIRST - we have some breaking(ish) comic book news involving Batman Beyond and Static Shock!
