The Batman Part II Casting + LANTERNS Finally Looks GOOD?! | DCJ News

About this episode

Mike and Matt discuss the latest updates in the DC universe, including casting news for The Batman Part II and the new Lanterns teaser.

DC has been BUSY… and so have we. This week on DC Junktion, Mike and Matt finally sit down for a full conversation episode to catch up on the latest DC chaos. We break down the My Adventures with Superman Season 3 trailer and why the show keeps finding fresh ways to reinvent Superman lore. Then we dig into the newest Lanterns teaser and why it completely changed the conversation around the series. From there, we jump into James Gunn confirming Supergirl’s growing importance in the DCU and speculate about what that could mean for Man of Tomorrow and the larger Gods & Monsters storyline. And of course… we HAD to talk about The Batman Part II. With Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson officially joining the cast, filming now underway, and Long Halloween theories running wild, we discuss what Matt Reeves might actually be building in Gotham. - Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dcjunktion Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dcjunktion Follow us on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@dcjunktion Follow Mike: @mrmikeshea @gemcitycomedy Follow Matthew: @thejassoman 00:00 – Intro / Welcome Back 01:49 – Phantom Hawk Update 02:45 – My Adventures with Superman…
