Emotions & Morality (Essential Issues Podcast #036)

About this episode

The episode discusses moral dilemmas and emotional themes in various DC Comics stories.

(TIME STAMPS BELOW!) Moral Dilemmas, unhealthy romance, preachy Wonder Women & loving Bat-dads! ‍ ‍ RELEASE PERIODS COVERED: DCUI Ultra January 2025, DCUI Standard June 2026, ‍ ‍ TIME STAMPS 00:01:09 Superboy has a moral dilemma that doesn't quite work, Green Lantern Corps is further exploring A.I. sentience/personhood while suggesting an unhealthy view of romance and human purpose, and Wonder Woman continues to barrel through the DCU being "right", but steps into delivering a self-defeating sermon... or perhaps her writer does. Action Comics 1093, Batman And Robin 28, Green Lantern Corps 11, DCKO 3, Wonder Woman 28 ‍ ‍ 00:36:55 Detective Comics gave me the feels, and "the thinks?" Stuff going on that reminds me why I LOVE comics! Green Lantern 30 (Oops! I should have said the Batman/GL contrast is fear vs. courage instead of darkness vs. light!), Justice League Red 5, Detective Comics 1104 ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ GET THIS PODCAST 3 DAYS EARLY and enjoy exclusive rewards at https://www.patreon.com/spiritbladeproductions ‍ ‍ <a href=" https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/essential-issues-a " title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img…
