DC Junktion

The Bat-Fam season dropped and we were not prepared for how quickly it landed, so this week we are digging into Episodes 1 and 2 and giving our first impressions before we finish the rest.We talk about how the show picks up from Merry Little Batman, what works about the tone, why the humor lands better than it has any right to, and how the characters are reimagined in this weird little corner of Gotham. We also get into the Damian and Volcano dynamic, the Dent twins, the beard, the Batmobile, and why this series might be the most unexpectedly fun thing DC has released all year.If you have watched the season, keep the comments spoiler light while we catch up.New episodes every Friday at 430 PM ET.-Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dcjunktionFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dcjunktionFollow us on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@dcjunktionFollow Mike: @mrmikeshea @gemcitycomedy Follow Matthew: @thejassoman #DCJunktion #BatFam #Batman
