Comic Misfits

Hey y'all! It's Pedro and Aidan with (previously known as) Variant Podcast! 

We have rebranded our podcast, we are now Comic Misfits. A lot of work and dedication came with this change, but most of all, we wanted to be an original podcast that was not being confused for Variant: The Podcast, who started a podcast after us but has a much higher following.

Thus, we are Comic Misfits! Our core values remain the same, we aim to bridge the gap between the novice and the superfan within the fandom, so that won't change (just our name and brand).

With that being said, on this episode of Comic Misfits, we continue right along our journey through the DC Animated Universe as we talk all things Teen Titans: Judas Contract.

Teen Titans: Judas Contract is the 9th film in the DCAU, and it was released in April 2017!

The movie is based on The Judas Contract by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez and is the sequel to Justice League vs. Teen Titans. The film features the voices of Christina Ricci, Taissa Farmiga, Miguel Ferrer, Stuart Allan, Brandon Soo Hoo, Jake T. Austin, Kari Wahlgren, Sean Maher, Gregg Henry, and Meg Foster.

We give this film a solid 4/5 stars. Take a listen to our review today!

In episode 21 of the Variant Podcast, we continue right along our journey through the DC Animated Universe as we talk all things Justice League Dark.

Released in 2017, Justice League Dark features an original premise, unlike the rest of the films we have talked about so far. While there is a Justice League Dark comic book, the film did not use that as the source material, rather, just used some of the characters.

The movie serves as a prequel to Justice League Dark: Apokolips War which was released in May 2020.

Directed by none other than Jay Oliva, the film stars Matt Ryan as John Constantine and Jason O'Mara reprising his role as Batman.

We at the Variant Podcast give this film 3.8/5 stars. Take a listen to our review today!
