    ISSUE #399 (The Batman 2 Will Be Radical, Ryan Reynolds Talks Lanterns, Mummy 4)

    On The Comic Section Podcast Issue #399, we're breaking down another packed week of superhero news, sequels, nostalgia, and one very interesting Willy Wonka reality show. 💚 RYAN REYNOLDS WANTS TO APPEAR IN LANTERNS! While promoting his new Apple TV movie Mayday, Ryan Reynolds was asked whether he'd ever consider making a cameo in HBO's Lanterns. His answer? He'd love to do it. And HBO Max wasted absolutely NO time having some fun with that comment, releasing an edited Lanterns promo that digitally inserted Reynolds' version of Green Lantern into the show. 😂 To be clear, Reynolds hasn't officially joined the series—but now that the idea is out there... Should DC actually make it happen? Reynolds also reflected on 2011's Green Lantern, explaining that despite its reputation, he doesn't regret making it. In fact, he credits many of the lessons he learned from that movie with helping shape the rest of his career. Could bringing him back for one quick multiverse joke, cameo, or alternate Lantern appearance finally give his Hal Jordan the sendoff fans never expected? 🦇 THE BATMAN PART II IS A “RADICAL RETELLING” OF BATMAN?! Robert Pattinson is making some VERY interesting comments about Matt Reeves' upcoming sequel. According to Pattinson, The Batman Part II represents a major change and a “really radical retelling of Batman.” And naturally, the internet has started theorizing. Could Bruce Wayne have a son? Are we getting Robin? Two-Face? The Phantasm? The Court of Owls? Or is Matt Reeves preparing to do something nobody is predicting? Whatever the answer is, Pattinson says Warner Bros. and DC are allowing Reeves to take a major creative swing. And after The Batman and The Penguin, we're definitely paying attention. 🕷️ NICOLAS CAGE RESPONDS TO SPIDER-NOIR'S CANCELLATION After Prime Video canceled Spider-Noir after one season, Nicolas Cage has finally responded. And surprisingly? He's good with it. Cage says that for him, one season was perfect because he was able to say what he wanted to say with his unique, dangerous, pop-art interpretation of Spider-Man Noir. That's an interesting perspective—especially considering the show earned major Emmy recognition before being canceled. Was one season enough? Or did Prime Video pull the plug too soon? ⚰️ THE MUMMY 4 IS OFFICIALLY ROLLING! Rick O'Connell is BACK. Brendan Fraser has returned for The Mummy 4, with Rachel Weisz once again joining him as Evelyn. And this isn't just talk anymore. Production has officially begun. Fraser described returning to Rick O'Connell as reconnecting with an old friend, and after decades of fans asking for the original cast to reunite, it's finally happening. Can The Mummy 4 pull off the same kind of nostalgic comeback that Top Gun: Maverick achieved? We're ready to find out. 🍫 COMING SOON: WONKA'S THE GOLDEN TICKET Netflix is turning Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory into a full-blown reality competition. In Wonka's The Golden Ticket, contestants enter the Chocolate Factory and face a series of unpredictable challenges, temptations, games, and tests inspired by the world of Roald Dahl. Is this genius? Completely unnecessary? Or both? 😂 We check out the trailer and give our first impressions. 🦇 REVIEW: BATMAN — KNIGHTFALL PART ONE Finally, Jason gives his review of Batman: Knightfall Part One. DC's new animated adaptation tackles one of the most famous Batman stories ever told as Bane systematically pushes Bruce Wayne beyond his physical and mental limits. Does the new movie do the legendary comic-book storyline justice? How does this version of Bane compare to previous adaptations? And does Part One leave us excited for the rest of the Knightfall trilogy? Jason gives his verdict.

    ISSUE #398 (Spider-Noir Canceled & Batman Knightfall and Caped Crusader Reviews)

    On The Comic Section Podcast Issue #398, we’re breaking down another wild week in Marvel, DC, movies, television, and geek culture. 🕷️ SPIDER-NOIR CANCELED AFTER ONE SEASON Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir, meaning Nicolas Cage’s first regular television role as the gritty alternate-universe Spider-Man won’t return for Season 2. And the decision is especially surprising considering the series earned 11 Emmy nominations, strong reviews, and billions of minutes watched during its initial streaming run. So what happened? Was Spider-Noir simply too expensive? Did Sony and Amazon decide to move in another direction with their Spider-Man television universe? And what could the next Marvel series from that partnership look like? We get into all of it. 💔 BRUCE CAMPBELL SHARES A SOBERING CANCER UPDATE “Evil Dead” legend Bruce Campbell has opened up about his cancer diagnosis, revealing that his current prognosis is approximately five years. But Campbell isn’t allowing the diagnosis to define the way he lives. The actor, filmmaker, and Ash Williams icon says he has made the conscious decision to “live with it, not die from it” while continuing to focus on his new film Ernie & Emma and the work that still matters to him. We send Bruce Campbell nothing but love and support. 🥞 THE WAFFLE HOUSE INDEX SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY INSANE New Marvel X-Men star Inde Navarrette, who is set to play Rogue, is also starring in Apple Original Films’ upcoming sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index. And this movie has EVERYTHING. A Waffle House waitress. A stranger with a gun. A massive flood. Killer crocodiles. A nuclear explosion. A mysterious bunker. And aliens. Yeah...we need to see this. 😂 ⚔️ IS ADRIA ARJONA REALLY THE DCU’S WONDER WOMAN?! Adria Arjona has revealed the intense training she’s undergoing for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, including extensive weightlifting, cardio, and boxing. But DC still isn’t saying exactly who she’s playing. That secrecy has only fueled speculation that Arjona could secretly be the DCU’s new Wonder Woman. Is the training evidence? Or are fans putting pieces together that aren’t actually connected? We discuss the rumors while keeping one thing clear: DC has NOT officially confirmed Arjona as Wonder Woman. 🦸‍♀️ GAL GADOT SPEAKS OUT ABOUT DC’S TRANSITION Former Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has also opened up about the end of the previous DC era, saying that the handling of Henry Cavill’s Superman exit and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman situation was “not handled elegantly.” Gadot says she was initially told that another Wonder Woman movie would be developed before DC Studios ultimately moved in another direction. We discuss the messy transition from the DCEU to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU. 🎬 COMING SOON / PREVIEWThis week we check out the latest trailers for: 🥊 Street Fighter 👥 Brothers ⚡ Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone We react to the latest look at the new Street Fighter movie and return to Hogwarts as HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation gives us a deeper look at its retelling of the first book. Finally, Gotham takes over the show. 🦇 BATMAN DOUBLE REVIEW!Shawn reviews: 🦇 Batman: Knightfall Part 1 And Jason reviews: 🦇 Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 🦇 BATMAN DOUBLE REVIEW!

    ISSUE #397 (7 Billion Dragon Ball Z Theme Park, Alien Returns & André 3000 Joins Scooby-Doo)

    On The Comic Section Podcast Issue #397, we kick things off on a somber note by paying tribute to four entertainers who left their mark across music, movies, television, and animation: Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Peter Cullen, and Samuel Monroe Jr. From Dolly Parton's legendary music and entertainment career, to Tim Curry's unforgettable performances, to Peter Cullen giving generations of fans the iconic voice of Optimus Prime, and Samuel Monroe Jr.'s memorable roles in films including Menace II Society and The Players Club, we take time to remember their contributions and legacies. Then it's time to get into this week's headlines! 🐉 A $7 BILLION DRAGON BALL Z THEME PARK IS COMING?! France and Saudi Arabia have agreed to develop a massive Dragon Ball-themed amusement park near Paris, with the project reportedly valued at approximately $7 billion. The development is expected to become one of Europe's largest theme park projects and create thousands of jobs. From Goku and Vegeta to potentially walking through locations inspired by the world of Dragon Ball, we discuss just how crazy—and potentially incredible—this project could become. 📺 APPLE TV JUST GOT MORE EXPENSIVE Another streaming service price hike is here. Apple TV has increased its U.S. subscription price to $14.99 per month, while its annual plan has jumped to $119. With streaming services continuing to raise their prices, we ask the question: At what point does streaming become just as expensive as the cable packages everybody originally tried to escape? 👽 RIDLEY SCOTT ISN'T FINISHED WITH ALIEN: COVENANT Nearly a decade after Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott is developing another film that would continue the story of Michael Fassbender's David. Scott wants to explore the dangerous possibilities of artificial intelligence through David's story as the rogue synthetic attempts to create his own new world. But after Alien: Romulus and the franchise's other recent developments, is returning to the Prometheus/Covenant storyline the right move? 🐶 ANDRÉ 3000 JOINS SCOOBY-DOO! André “3000” Benjamin and Cathy Moriarty have joined Netflix's upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo: Origins series in recurring roles. The series reimagines Mystery Inc. during their younger years as Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and Freddy investigate a mystery surrounding a lost Great Dane puppy who may have witnessed a supernatural murder. And yes…that puppy is Scooby-Doo. 🍗 WE'RE GETTING A HOOTERS MOVIE?! Because apparently every origin story deserves the Hollywood treatment. A buddy-comedy/biopic inspired by the real-life creation of Hooters is officially in development. The story follows two friends whose road trip eventually leads to the creation of the restaurant empire. We're definitely going to have some questions about this one. 😂 🎬 COMING SOON / PREVIEWThis week we're checking out the latest trailers for: 🐩 Breeder🏕️ Tiny Fugitives🩺 Trust Me, I'm a Doctor We give our first impressions and discuss which one has our attention. 🦎 REVIEW: MONSTERS OF GOD Finally, Shawn gives his quick review of HBO's Monsters of God, the documentary series exploring the dangerous and bizarre world of the billion-dollar exotic reptile smuggling trade. Is it worth adding to your HBO Max watchlist? Shawn gives us his verdict. From saying goodbye to legends to Dragon Ball theme parks, rogue AI, Scooby-Doo, streaming prices, Hooters movies, and reptile smugglers… Yeah. It's one of THOSE episodes. 😂 🎙️ Tune in to The Comic Section Podcast Issue #397!

More than two decades after Benjamin Franklin Gates stole the Declaration of Independence, director Jon Turteltaub says a third National Treasure movie is finally moving forward. Disney has approved a script, and the filmmakers hope to reunite as much of the original cast as possible.
