Peacemaker just beat Gen V and Daredevil to win best superhero TV series—what does this mean for DC?

The episode opens with hosts Tyler and James sharing weekend updates before diving into DC Comics news. Peacemaker is announced as the winner of best superhero TV series at the 53rd Saturn Awards, beating shows like Gen V and Daredevil. The hosts transition to discussing Green Lantern, with Tyler listing all live-action appearances, starting with Hal Jordan in the 1979 Legends of the Superheroes special. They mention Guy Gardner in a 1997 Justice League pilot, teases in Smallville and Arrowverse, Jade in Stargirl, and recent footage from Superman and the upcoming Lanterns series. A debate arises about Guy Gardner flying without a green aura in recent footage, contrasting comic tradition. The hosts then shift to the 10-year anniversary of Batman v Superman, recalling hype from its 2013 announcement to 2016 release, including Tyler's personal obsession and multiple theater viewings. They plan a live rewatch of the extended cut on March 21st. Later, they review the 'Return to Krypton' comic arc from 2001, a four-issue story where Superman and Lois travel to Krypton. James critiques the disjointed writing across different authors and unclear resolution, though he praises the art. The episode concludes with mentions of upcoming live watches for other DC films and a reminder to follow the podcast on social media.
