    The Kryptonian/human hybrid son of Superman is the subject of this episode. Stemming from the Convergence storyline in the 2010s (PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR A CONVERGENCE EPISODE, I MIGHT BREAK DOWN AND CRY!), this kid would be born to Superman and Lois Lane from an alternate timeline at the time of creation until DC Rebirth in 2016 (Don't even ask!).

    The former Robin and reluctant ally of Batman is the subject of this episode. From a kid struggling to get by to sidekick, from murder to resurrection, he's been through it all. Nowadays, this one toes a VERY thin line between being a hero and a villain, one move could make him teeter into either category. But who killed him all those years ago? How did he come back to life?

  • S2 E2. Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley)

    The armoured Batman with his own issues from the 1990s is the subject of this episode. This Batman not only took on the mantle of Batman but has also attempted to kill Robin when they disagreed about this Batman's way. He also has some abilities that the original Batman doesn't have which makes him an interesting take plus really cool when he eventually goes back to being Azrael. Why did he go crazy? Why did he attempt to kill Robin? Find out in this episode!

  • S2 E1. Mister Miracle

    SEASON 2 PREMIERE!!! For the first 10 episodes of season 2, I will be doing DC heroes, villains and storylines as I did Marvel for the last 10 episodes of season 1, just to make it fair. The New God with a heart of gold compared to the rest of Apokolips and an angry looking wife by his side is the subject of this episode. From the trade that forced him to live and suffer on Apokolips to his escape to Earth when we first meet him, this New God has been to many places in the universe. How did he meet the angry looking wife? Why was he traded and forced to live on Apokolips? Listen to this episode to find out!

  • Comic Book Lessons Extra: E6: The Treatment of Flashes After the Return of Barry Allen
    In this episode of Comic Book Lessons Extra, I will be discussing the way Flashes past and present, in particular Wally West and Bart Allen, were treated by DC Comics after Barry Allen's return back in 2009 and how they were swept under the carpet and wiped out of continuity in 2011 after Flashpoint. One thing to note about this episode is the opinions expressed are my own, nobody else's, so if I upset anyone, I apologise.
