Avengers, assemb- what? Oh, wrong franchise, sorry.
We’re taking a break from our Marvel idolising this week to take a look at the latest offering from the DC Expanded Universe, Justice League, a film fraught with production difficulties and the so-called “DC Curse”. Jay was joined by Robert Zerbe, Jeanette Ward, Richard Kirkham and Howard Casner to compare the film to our expectations, dissect some of the crazier aspects of the plot and dig into how this stacks up against other superhero films from the year.
Also on tap: a round of rants and raves of the week and a new game!
