When one Alex has a baby, another needs to fill in. I am joined by co-host Alex Newman who has probably seen more movies than you, although you probably have seen more giant tentpole studio films than he has. I give him a brief history on the DC FanDome and we discuss WINGS alums Tim Daly, who played Superman in the Animated Universe and Steven Weber who bookends this very special AT&WB episode.

How does the WB Network / UPN show Roswell (1999) and the CW Network show Roswell: New Mexico echo the DC Comics multiverse? How does each show echo the other? Will Grant Gustin's Flash end up in Roswell: New Mexico or Legacies or Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher? Find out on this episode as we compare the show to the DC Comics multiverse and we speculate about the DC FanDome!

Roswell Part 1 of 2

It's the WB Network vs. UPN on this special episode of the AT&WB Podcast with Warner Brothers Network drama expert Holly Leveque.

The most important topic of the episode is how Jason Behr came to appear on BOTH shows

As we lead into the DC Fandome, we focus on another WB property and how both DC Comics and Roswell deal with a multiverse.

We talk about how the new show is a reinterpretation of the original show's mythology, in the same way the original show was a reinterpretation of the mythology of the original book.

But also the original Michael and Maria had and still have a spinoff idea for the original Roswell were they have their own detective agency.

From the Greater Warner Fandom--

We compare HBO documentary and show I'll Be Gone In the Dark to HBO Max animated series Harley Quinn.

The eventual move of CW Network shows from Netflix to HBO Max and the new fall lineup for the CW is being taken from other services because Covid.

And finally we reminisce about going to a movie theater and WBs Wizard of Oz in 3D they did in theaters.

All this an more on Part One of the two part Roswell comparison adventure!

A Warner Restructure

As we lead into the first ever DC Fandome, we give our predictions as to what is going to happen and we look back on the 600 people who sadly lost their jobs at DC Comics, WB and HBO.

Just like how they are restructuring the DC multiverse and getting away from the DCEU idea, Warner itself is restructuring.

Stankey, Greenblatt and 600 workers have been let go from Warner Brothers / DC Comics / HBO Max.

We delve further into the CW Crisis Crossover event and the comic book companion Crisis on Infinite Earths: Paragons Rising and the Council of Lex and Council of Supermen.

And finally we talk Val Kilmer, as his name was on the list of people attending DC FanDome. Could Val Kilmer be returning as Batman in Andy Muschietti's The Flash?

All this and more!

It's an almost exclusively DC Comics news episode with the biggest news being Michael Keaton's return to the DC Extended Universe. This brings up the return of other TV and Movie versions of other DC Comics characters in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event that was on The CW Network in December 2019. In this event they bring back characters from Smallville, The WB Network's Birds of Prey (2002), Burt Ward the original Robin from Batman (1966), Lucifer, Superman Returns and many other DC Comics shows and movies that are now folded into the same DC multiverse.

In fact, they go back to Tim Burton's Batman 1989 universe, on what is now called Earth-89 and we see the Batsignal in the air which, I think is shaped like the Batman Beyond batsymbol, which makes us think that Michael Keaton may return in a Batman Beyond type suit. Here Alex makes the Warner synergistic connection that Arliss from the HBO series is on Earth-89.

Michael Rosenbaum and his father John Glover are both part of the DC Comics family. John Glover is even plays the voice of the Riddler on The Batman Animated Series, which we do not mention.

This new idea of the HBO Max companion series for a Warner movie gets a mention with Gotham PD and Dune: The Sisterhood.

Zack's Snyder's Justice League Director's Cut gets compared to Richard Donner's Superman 2 Director's Cut.

Obviously we have time to talk the now HBO Max series The OC and how Ben Mckenzie should play Batman, but as his Detective Gordon character from the show Gotham.

And we find out that Batwoman grew up on a military base named after a confederate general.

All this and more on a very special Michael Keaton as Batman episode of the AT&WB Podcast.

On this very special and very looney episode of the AT&WB Podcast, I have on guest Jonathan Graves from the Of Course You Realize THIS Means Podcast, a podcast devoted to all things Looney Tunes!

We do a deep dive on the precursor to Space Jam, the 1992 and 1993 Nike Air Jordan Super Bowl Commercials.

We also talk Astroworld in Texas and it's connection to the Warner Brothers brand.

We are pretty sure it's either Joe Alaskay or Billy West doing the voice of Bug Bunny in these Super Bowl commericals.

Jonathan realize how he could've made Skate Jam into reality

And we finally break down a little bit of Bryan Lynch's VARSITY BUGS.
