DCN Podcast #192: STARFIRE Gets New Graphic Novel, SUPERMAN Table Read Takes Place & MORE!!

·43 min·45 clips

Episode 192 keeps the focus on DC news and the approach to episode 200. Brad opens by greeting Steve J. Ray and setting up a lively conversation. The first big topic is Superman Legacy, with Nathan Fillion's report that table reads are starting this week. That lands like a real sign that the first draft script is approved and ready, and that the cast is finally hearing the story together. The hosts clearly enjoy that moment. They talk about how a table read can reveal the chemistry of a cast before the public sees anything else. Gunn's writing gets praise for the way the dialogue tends to work on the page and out loud. The conversation treats the project as one of the more promising pieces of DC film news in the pipeline. The episode then shifts to television and future DC screen projects. The Penguin comes up as another title the hosts are eager to see, especially because Colin Farrell's turn in The Batman felt like it could have used more screen time. The discussion frames that series as a chance to see him being more menacing. From there, the hosts move into a rumor about Batman TV rights and Disney. They push back on the idea that one specific rights issue means Disney owns every Batman-related television project. The explanation separates the classic 1966 Adam West TV show from later animated and live-action Batman shows. That correction is also a reminder not to trust every headline that floats around online. The back and forth stays friendly and fully fan driven. Brad and Steve keep circling back to the larger DC landscape rather than treating each item as a separate story. The episode ends with their sign-offs and the familiar call to read more comics. It feels like a show built for listeners who enjoy news, continuity, and a little myth busting. The tone stays warm throughout, even when the hosts are correcting bad information.
