News

It was a big week this week with the release of the officIal photos for the majority of the main cast of characters of the Gotham TV show. We discuss our impressions of the look of the actors and what we think this means for the show. We also discuss some connected news from the wider DC universe.

As DC move the release date of the untitled Superman – Batman to the same day as Captain America 3 – May 6th 2016 – the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier ignite a brand new Marvel Vs DC fight. You can watch the interview here.

The majority of the episode is given over to our review of the animated movie Batman Year One.

Starring Ben McKenzie as Bruce Wayne and Brian Cranston as Jim Gordon, this animated film brings to life the seminal 1986 Frank Miller graphic novel. As we discover why Jim Gordon comes to the Gotham City Police Department and how Bruce Wayne takes his first steps to clean up Gotham. Both protagonists meet the corruption in Gotham head-on leading ultimately to the emergence of the partnership between Jim Gordan and the Batman.

The review is full of spoilers so if you haven’t read the graphic novel or watched the movie, grab a copy from your local comic book shop or you can read it digitally at Comixology and join us.
