DC Movies and More

11/9/2017
This week Aaron (@AaronSBell) and Ronnie (@Ronbar316) were unable to get together to record a new episode (so their thoughts on the DC signing of Brian Michael Bendis will have to wait until next week), so kick back and listen to an episode they recorded just in case something like this happened. With the Justice League movie coming out next week, what better time for them to talk all things DC Movies? There is a lot of DCU talk, but they also go back and talk all of the older DC movies as well. Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, and Christian Bale are all discussed (I think, it's been a while since we recorded this episode).

Ragmen and Revamps

11/2/2017
This week Ronnie (@Ronbar316) answers a fan question about the new Ragman series, while Aaron (@AaronSBell) goes on a bit of a rant about what may be his new favorite DC title. Then the two of them dive deep into another listener question about character revamps. Which they've liked and which they've been a little iffy on. I know you all may find this difficult to believe, but Aaron may have had a few more dislikes than likes (even though they are all justifiably terrible).

An Absolutely Spooooooky Episode

10/26/2017
This week Aaron (@AaronSBell) and Ronnie (@Ronbar316) went in a bit of a different direction. They decided to talk about some of their favorite Halloween themed comics. In all actuality, only one of the books they talk about has anything to do with Halloween, they're mostly just some DC horror stories. Once they finish covering those books, they answer some questions from their super awesome and 100% truthful friend Nick (who also had a terrific idea for a future episode that the boys discuss very briefly). You can tweet any questions, comment, or concerns to the show directly @DC_Absolute Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wild Storms and Heavy Metal

10/19/2017
Aaron (@AaronSBell) and Ronnie (@Ronbar316) spend a little time talking all things Dark Knights - Metal. They talk the series so far, the one shots, and the Gotham City Resistance tie ins. Want to know which of the new Batmans they prefer? It may or may not have come up, I'm honestly having a hard time remembering. Where does all this Metal talk lead? To a tangent where they talk about the Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow season premieres. There is also some talk about The Wild Storm which will surely infuriate their friends, until Aaron regains his ability to remember anything. We welcome questions, comments, or concerns to the show's twitter handle @DC_Absolute. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 48: Who's Ready For Wonder Woman

5/31/2017
Apparently not Ronnie (@ronbar316) and Aaron (@aaronsbell), as they both forgot to read the newest issue of the series. What did they remember to read to talk about?

The continuation of the surprise enjoyment they both find in Batgirl. Is JrJr still on Suicide Squad? How much Batman Beyond reminds them of the cartoon series. And a full recap of the Lazarus Contract crossover between Titans, Teen Titans, and the always fantastic Deathstroke. All this and more on an all new, all different episode of Rebirthically!
