Is the plot to the Justice League movie related to the DC arc Justice League: WAR? Taylor digs into the trailer and the events that happen in the DCU that could help shape the plot of this movie to movies to come.

What do we think of the portrayals of Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg? Are they on Apocalypse? Did Batman's Knightmare scene with the Parademons come true? Was The Flash in BvS a reference to a Crisis DC Comics event in this movie? Will we see Superman as a villain in Justice League? So many Questions!

Taylor wasn't a huge fan of Netflix and Marvel's Iron Fist. Instead he decided to find some essential issues of Iron Fist that he thinks YOU should read.

Check out:

IMMORTAL IRON FIST

POWERMAN AND IRON FIST

IRON FIST #1 (2017)

THIS IS IT. Teased in the Rebirth collection and now coming to fruition in the latest Superman run, the WATCHMEN are colliding with the DCU. Learn the connection and possible next steps for the Watchmen, Batman/Flash crossover and let us know what you want to see in the comments below!

Marvel's Iron Fist is out on Netflix and our resident optimist, Taylor has an issue: he hates it. This is the guy who likes Suicide Squad, Batman v. Superman (extended edition) and Superman Returns... but Iron Fist is too hokey, long and boring for him to get behind.

There were redeeming moments though! Take a view to see what the guys thought of Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist and let us know what you thought below.

WARNING: Slight spoilers for Logan. Chris is MISSING! It is up to Taylor to hold down the fort and review Logan all by himself! Listen to Taylor react to Logan, compare it with Old man Logan and discuss how this comic book movie relates to other super hero movie and the rest of the cinematic X-Men universe as a whole!

Chris and Taylor review The Lego Batman Movie! Watch to see reactions and explanations of Taylor's favorite references, what Chris thought of Lego batman compared to The Lego Movie and more!

On Chris' Corner we discuss The Batman director Matt Reeves dropping out (and then getting confirmed a day later!), Suicide Squad 2 Mel Gibson courting and then our thoughts on The Lego Batman Movie! Also an email asking "Is Logan set in the Old Man Logan Universe?"

Wrapping up the Backlog (10:41)

This is the BIG list of all the comics Taylor read over the past two months to make sure he was as informed as possible for the show today. I won't paste the list because it'll just make your eyes bleed... WELL WHY NOT. See the list at the bottom of the show notes.

Some comics worth mentioning though:

Civil War (12:10)

*Taylor is really digging the way this story is going. Even though it is delayed he sees it as one of the best uses of Marvel characters and a story that is cohesive and flows.

Archie (12:39)

*Our top pick for last years Comic of the Year is continuing it's streak of great issues as it crosses over issue #9. The art style and down to earth storytelling mixed with the #TeamBetty v. #TeamVeronica make this a great read for any comic aficionado level.

Jughead (13:19)

*While the pop-culture daydreams are gone after issue #6, Taylor is still a big fan of the irreverent humor and solid art style.

Sex Criminals (14:07)

*This is what we would pun-ily call a "graphic novel". Taylor enjoyed the mature themes and overall story that works as both a sexy reading time as it does a story about relationships and meta jokes.

The Wicked + The Divine (16:40)

Something Gat actually read! This Gods-among-men story has beautiful art work and a great hook to get you to invest in the initial volume and want to stay current--knowing full well your favorite character won't be around forever.

Topic of the Week (19:00)

The big discussion this week deals with the DC Rebirth! We discuss some of the new comic series your should definitely get in to and some you should definitely avoid (for now). Did we love a comic that you loved to or are you ready to tell us how crazy and wrong we are? Let us know in the comments below!

BONUS DISCUSSIONS (28:48)

The guys discuss Suicide Squad and why Chris refuses to see it. Then they discuss The Killing Joke animated movie and how nothing makes that Barbara Gordon arc OK.

BONUS BONUS (42:36)
