We have a special guest on this week's episode: Brian Augustyn, writer and editor at DC Comics in the 80's and 90's. Augustyn wrote the seminal graphic novel and first "Elseworlds" tale Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, and co-wrote Justice League:Year One and The Flash with Mark Waid. We're talking about the party scene at Lex Luthor's house, which includes the first appearance of Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman. Even though the show hosts didn't like Batman v Superman overall, we really did enjoy this scene where all of the major players are in the same room. We also get waaaay off topic talking about some of Brian Augustyn's experiences at DC, including an amazing anecdote featuring Mark Hamill. If you're a fan of 90's DC Comics you're going to love this episode.

It's been such a long road to get here, but Justice League is finally here! All of the DC Extended Universe seems to ride on the success of WB's biggest heroes coming together for the first time on the big screen. Chris and Dennis give their thoughts on a mostly mediocre film but we still have that glimmer of hope that DC will turn it around.

It's the final episode of the podcast. Superman is dead and we just can't summon the willpower to go on. We take some time at the top of the show for a bit of reflection on Batman v Superman and the experience of producing a weekly podcast for half a year. Then we get to the scenes in question, finding some truly weird and surprising Easter eggs, even in this very sombre epilogue. We want to thank everyone who listened to the show, especially those who have been with us from the beginning and those who have joined in the conversation online, even if you disagreed with our opinions.
