We have been doing a Justice League International chat across a number of episodes and  years now, selecting issues that make up the collected volumes but now we have come to the end of those collections with this final volume. That doesn’t mean we will be stopping OUR JLI volumes though. From now on we will just be covering what issues we think would make up the next collection. 
For now though, this episode is our continuation of Keith Giffen, J.M. Dematteis (Justice League America #31-35), Bart Sears & Adam Hughes (Justice League Europe #7-11) JLI series or the “BWAHAHA” Justice League as people now seem to know it. Kevin McGuire had long dropped off by this point having now even stopped on covers but will make one or two appearances in the future.
This continues to be a source of pure joy and we really can’t wait to keep talking about these for years to come. This “JLI book club” is one of our favourite topics to do here on the pod and we hope you enjoy it. 

This and all the usual comics chat on…

That Comic Smell Episode 111 - JLI Vol 6

John Williams' Superman theme is iconic and I love Hans Zimmer's take in Man of Steel but with a reboot on its way at DC, staring David Corenswet, I set myself the challenge of coming up with a brand new theme for James Gunn's SUPERMAN: LEGACY ...

Over his 85+ years, Batman has been a member of lots of different teams. This week, fellow ComicsXF writer Austin Gorton stops by to talk about three different teams Batman has been a member of. We fill in another gap in Will's knowledge of the roots of the Morrison run, Snapper Carr is kind of the worst and once again Mike W. Barr shows his version of Batman has a bit more of a flexible version of The One Rule.

The Batmen of All Nations (Detective Comics V.1 #215)
Snapper Carr- The Super Traitor! (Justice League of America V.1 #77)
Enter: The Outsiders! (Batman and the Outsiders V.1 #1-2)

Episode 105: Stop Trying to Make Geo-Force Happen (w/ Austin Gorton)

It’s our first (and only, probably) Black Friday Special! Ever wonder why they never made Lois & Clark toys? WELL SO DID WE!! While we don’t get to the bottom of that mystery, Lance Laster (Always Hold On To Arrow), Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville), and Rob O’Connor (All-Star Superfan) drop by to discuss their favorite toys and pitch the Lois & Clark action figure line that never was.

Mario gives their thoughts on The new Hunger Games movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
Mario also talks about taking the responsibility to heal and grow, holding themselves accountable by putting in the actual work.

Last week, we talked about the Justice League International. This week, Dick Grayson Tier Patreon backer John Wickham joins us to talk about the other late 80s DC team that spun out of the Legends event, the Suicide Squad. And while the Justice League was mostly comedy, the Squad is not. We read three very different versions of the Squad in a story where Amanda Waller shows her metal, the New 52 origin of Harley Quinn and a Rebirth event where the Suicide Squad faces a Justice League that has moved past the Bwah-Ha-Ha era.

Will is so very tried. Three weeks in a row of big superhero stories. Not a single mobster or Year One era, bare bones Batman story to be found. Because this week, Dick Grayson tier Patreon backer Josh Weil is back, and we're talking Batman getting super powers! We get a Freaky Friday with the Justice League, a messy alien invasion and a Geoff Johns joint that doesn't know what it wants to be.

Justice League: The Animated Series - Main Theme (Opening) [Cover]

#TheyReleasedTheSnyderCut

In 2017 Zack Snyder stepped down from directing the "Justice League" film in the wake of personal tragedy. After Joss Whedon stepped in to "fix" the film - resulting in a critical drubbing and a box office bomb, as well as multiple problematic behind-the-scenes stories - vast sections of social media demanded Snyder be allowed to return and release his unaltered cinematic vision for DC's premier superhero team.

On the back of this fan pressure - including some highly toxic voices within it - Zack Snyder's Justice League was released in all its four-hour, desaturated, Knightmare-ending glory in 2021. Three years later, the Slice of Cherry Guys see whether Snyder's vision holds up (short answer: very yes). Chris laments the loss of Batffleck, Dave argues that the four hour runtime works gangbusters, and both agree that Darkseid, the would-be Thanos of the DCEU played by Ray Porter, is *really* freaking good.

NOTE: There is a tangled history of the Snyder Cut movement which involves harmful, toxic harassment from sections of the DCEU fanbase which led to the film's release. While we largely don't discuss that toxicity in this episode, we do point you to some resources that unpack it in more detail. Please give them a read:
