We finally get around to talking about some of the recent news and rumors revolving around the DCEU shakeups with the tale of two Batmen (Keaton and Affleck) in the upcoming Flash movie. Oh, plus there's Pattinson. So three Batmen. Also the reveal of the Batgirl movie costume and it's Burnside comic roots, Henry Cavill's apparent exit from the Superman role, The Rock with Black Adam, etc. And we squeeze in a little comic talk with Department Of Truth from Image Comics (as usual) and Regarding The Matter Of Oswald's Body from BOOM! Studios.

As is tradition, we all hang out and talk about our favorite comics, writers, artists, etc of 2021, what we're looking forward to in 2022. And some people are definitely quite drunk. Merry Christmas
