Issue #25 – “Immortality”

29 Nov Issue #25 – “Immortality”

In this week’s issue we talk immortality in the DC Universe. We discuss the difference between those who can’t die and those who can live forever. From Maltusians to Earth’s Mightiest Mortal Shazam! We run the gamut of your favourite forever living heroes and villains. But first we talk about all the latest and greatest in DC news! We get our first image of Bizarro Boy, new details revealed about Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen TV series, and Harley Quinn is getting an “adult” animated series. All this and more on a podcast that won’t die and in an episode that feels like it lives forever…
