Today on the show, we begin with a special message about why we’re not going to mention Stan Lee’s death until well into December. Once we get into the previously recorded program, we talk about the vulture.com article about how Bullseye had gone from a humorous villain in his early days to absolutely horrifying today. Jumping off of that, we talk about other characters that have undergone similar tone shifts.

We also talk about DC Boss Pam Lifford’s decree that DC heroes should “match expectations,” and what that means for DC properties Vertigo and Black Label.
