The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe has changed again! The comic world was shocked last October when it was announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran would help a new DC Studios division of Warner Bros. In the past few months, Gunn has been forthcoming with quite a few details about his plans for the franchise, including a discussion of what legacy projects that predate his time will continue and what his own plans are for new films, TV shows, and cartoons within his interconnected universe. In this episode we take a look at these announcements. We discuss what this means for DC media in general and how we feel about it. Then we discuss which of the various projects we are most excited for.
Instead of a Five-Minute controversy this episode debuts Nathan’s Notes. This time Nathan talks about Toxic Positivity.
This week Ryan, Eric, and James join the cast.

From the troubled origins of the film as a showcase of Ben Affleck a the dark knight to the casting of Robert Pattinson as the titular character, fans had many strong and vocal opinions of how the film would turn out.
