Description
Truth. Justice. Reboots. Now Playing Podcast covers the entire cinematic sprawl of DC and DC-adjacent comic book movies, from Richard Donner’s Superman and Tim Burton’s Batman through the Nolan trilogy, and the Snyder and Gunn eras. But it doesn’t stop at the headliners. Forgotten TV movies, prestige adaptations from Vertigo, gritty crime dramas, animated theatricals, oddball misfires, cult curiosities, and the occasional talking super-pet. Heroes. Antiheroes. Supervillains. And more than a few questionable studio decisions. The Now Playing Podcast crew examine the full DC spectrum, from billion-dollar tentpoles to projects people swear never happened, tracking how one comic publisher’s characters have been reinvented, rebooted, and reinterpreted for generations of moviegoers.
