Supergirl Struggles, DC Announces Animation, and Egger’s Werwulf Trailer
Summary
The hosts analyze *Supergirl*’s box office failure, attributing it to poor marketing, critical backlash, and online toxicity rather than just film quality. They debate whether DC needs marquee characters like Batman to succeed and discuss the pressure on James Gunn’s DCU vision. The episode also covers DC’s new animation slate, including *Absolute Batman* and *Joker: Laughing Riot*, and briefly touches on the *Verwolf* trailer.
