    Issue 673: What's Up with that Bat-Guy from Gotham? James Gunn Gives An Update

    James Gunn, alongside Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee, spoke on a recent official DC podcast titled "The Suicide Squad: Is It Canon?" to discuss... well whether 2021's The Suicide Squad is canon to the DCU since the film was done before James and Peter Safran took over at DC Studios in late 2022. Not only did James share what aspects are for sure canon but he also provided updates on where the studio is at on casting Batman, the status of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, and more. Plus, he shared other details about the DCU's roadmap and timeline (don't mention timelines to James he gets anxious about them). So with this wealth of new info Jong and Michael dive in to break it all down.  The guys also discuss recent casting news for Ghost Rider and X-Men, as well as how story details for The Batman Part 2 might have accidentally leaked due to Heidi Klum... yes that Heidi Klum... Michael was confused too when Jong told him.    Rate, review, like, and/or subscribe to Comicast on whatever podcast app you're using; Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Goodpods, Podcast Addicts, or whatever your podcast app of choice is!   Feedback, questions, or topic ideas for the show?
