We're just catchin' up with the news!

For Supergirl we have cool behind-the-scenes footage to talk about, and a description of the Cinemacon clip!

Has anyone else noticed that it's impossible to find the trailer for Lanterns on any of the official WB/DC accounts? James Gunn still has his up, though. Speaking of, that new poster and tagline sure got people upset!

We have a bit of a breakdown/reaction for the new Clayface trailer! It's not our genre typically, but it's looking pretty cool!

For Man of Tomorrow we have casting rumors, Gunn pointing out that he never confirmed Maxima was in the film, confirmation that Superman composer Dave Fleming is returning, plus some really cool backstory on the chess board Gunn posted on threads when they started shooting!

People are concocting conspiracies about The Batman Part II not happening once again! This time because it wasn't mentioned at Cinemacon! We also laugh about some Superman/Batman Photoshop nightmare napkins that got everybody upset for a minute.

Jason and I review the first DC Universe Animated Movie, 2007's Superman: Doomsday!

Throw us a weird, emotionally-stunted Supes with the mumps, an overly-dramatic Lois, Lex as a sexual predator and a subscription to the National Voyeur, cause we're getting into all the things that didn't work about this forced PG-13 debacle (and the few things that did)!
