And just like that, one half of new head of DC Studios, James Gunn took to social media to announce their road map for the next several years thereby also consolidating its universe for films, TV streaming and comicbooks. No longer will there be differently confusing Batmen and alternate versions of characters under one roof. From non-Henry Cavill Superman to animated Creature Commandos to Authority anti-heros, this primary "phase" has been labeled, Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Even for the cynic, many hope we will get fresh solid storytellings enough to rival Kevin Feige's MCU. Let's wait and see.
The Batman (Spoiler Review)
In the immortal parodied words of Alfred Pennyworth, well not really, more like an exchange between British comedians, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon from the 2014 film The Trip to Italy, we get a tickling Michael Caine impersonation-off exchange that went like this: "I'm not going to bury 'nother Batman!" "Another Batman? How many Batman(s) has he been burying?" Which in reflection hilariously sums up most sentiments from when WB announced in 2019 yet another Batman would be cast for a standalone movie this time directed by Matt Reeves to be set apart from Zack Synder's Batman portrayed by Ben Affleck. This time Robert Pattinson, of Twilight Saga fame, would be cast as the Dark Knight and already fans either felt optimistically cautious or flat out unsure how this project would pan out. As of current having enjoyed being at the top of the box office for only a month, The Batman sits at $676 million and counting, still not quite what Spider-Man No Way Home has accomplished but time will tell. And what do we think? Here's a Riddle: I can be tuned for conversation but not like a piano nor radio. What am I?

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Spoiler Discussion
Second chances or perhaps fluke miracles could be used to describe Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the direct-to-HBO Max’s streaming 4 hour original director’s cut of the flopped 2017 theatrical version, bringing together for the very first time, DC Comic’s superheroes to the big screen. This unexpected opportunity is a clear revelation to both fanboys and critics whether Synder merits creative vindication or not. Join TBC_apf and guests as they deep dive into this released cut. #Apokolipsnow
Hello 2021!
After a hiatus of proportions critical to the American identity, the intrepid crew TBC_afp crawled out of the fallout rubble to bring back nerd normalcy. Inaugurating a new year, though tiptoeing on eggshells due to the still raging global pandemic, we hope in continuing celebration of all things sci-fi, comicbook and geekdom culture. Let’s do this 2021!

Coronavirus Pandemic
Due to recent events of the Covid_19 pandemic, we now live in different times. We of TBC_afp are adapting hoping to put out more content albeit remotely. This current episode was recorded over Zoom on April 23, 2020.
SHAZAM! (Spoiler Review)
A famous writer once penned the line “What's in a name? That which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet” in order to evoke the idea that what really counts isn’t just how a thing is labeled. Rather that true heroic significance and character comes from within or that our actions define us. In SHAZAM!, starring Zachary Levi as DC Comic’s sometimes anti-Superman analog and child’s-eye-view superhero commentary (commonly know through the source material as Captain Marvel), WB/ DC Cinematic Universe attempts to deliver at the Box Office again at the wake of Aqua-success, The World's Mightiest Mortal. Follow TBC_afp as they take that leap of faith and call out SHAZAM!

Captain Marvel (Spoiler Review)
It is Marvel Studio’s tenth anniversary “phase” build up and we are introduced to Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel. With actress Brie Larsen portraying the character lead as Marvel’s biggest heavy, there is without hesitation both excitement from fans and controversy at a trolling level. While, a week into Captain Marvel’s theatrical release and already a half billion dollars at the box office, it’s safe to assume the franchise’s security though conversations, sometime ignited by inspiration or gender politics rages on...

Aquaman (Spoiler Review)
What do you get when you combine Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Splash together ? Hopefully not just an epic food fight at Red Lobster, of course. Nevertheless, The TBC Fanboy Heroes Three (trademark pending) deep dive into DC Cinematic Universe’s latest continuing underwater saga and closing in on $1 billion box office hit, AQUAMAN.

Batman: Road To Justice Part 4
Riddle me this? What do Morgan Freeman from Lean on Me, Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey and almost eight decades of fictional history have in common? Well, the answer is “Batman”, of course, but that doesn’t mean you ought to be shoving Spaghetti into any (“Bat”) Computer in the name of detective work.
Join TBC a fanboy podcast & friends for an in-depth round table Bat-discussion exploring the heroics, romanticism & complex character profile of DC Comics’ flagship property.
What will be revealed? That Batman really does sit home to wash his tights? The truth behind Schumacher’s “nipplegate”? Or that Calendar Man will get his own full featured film? Sit tight, get comfortable with some Bat-milk and cookies (yes, the same ones from Scooby Doo) and tune in for a great Bat-Time.

Aquaman/ Cyborg: Road to Justice Part 3
What’s 6’4”, bearded, has a gnarly eyebrow scar and is married to Lisa Bonet? Only that which capsizes all of our manhoods combined here at TBC a fanboy podcast but prior to casting Jason Momoa in Aquaman, Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC epic, this fish talking King of the Seven Seas has endured a long and complex history. TBC a fanboy podcast deep dives (pun intended) again along “The Road to Justice”, profiling each member of The Justice League as portrayed cinematically on the big screen for the very first time. Additionally in discussion, Victor Stone AKA Cyborg, though traditionally a (Teen) Titan by affiliation, also make his cinematic debut as one of “The Six”. Join our TBC fanboys as they come together covering what may potentially be very exciting properties for the DC Cinematic Universe.

Justice League (Spoiler) Review
Gathered together from remote corners of the world are some of the most passionate individuals of all time: TBC (a fanboy podcast)! Dedicated to a single objective- releasing edgy but not offensive apolitical media infotainment content hopefully, toward scoring some lucrative corporation sponsorship, enough to at least break even. But what do The TBCers Three think of the highly anticipated Justice League movie? Will they cry outrage at Henry Cavill’s #MUSTACHEGATE ? Does Zack Synder take a page from Sir Michael Caine and bury another Batman? (Steve Coogan’s The Trip. Look it up….) Are there actual Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, El Dorado & Samurai Easter Eggs that we missed in the movie?

Wonder Woman Film Review: Road To Justice Part 1
Created in the 40’s, Wonder Woman has evolved over the ages brandishing strength, beauty and feminism to many but not without controversy contained in the course of her history. DC’s archetype and surely GOAT female superhero has graced fans through the ages in comics, toys, TV, animation and finally a solo feature film directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) with Gal Gadot (BvS, Fast & Furious) as Diana, Princess of Themyscira.
The crew of To Be Continued a fanboy podcast offer their Wonder Woman film review in this first installment of ROAD TO JUSTICE, inching its way closer to Warner Bros.' ambitious Justice League.
"All the world's waiting for you and the power you possess… Change their minds, and change the world."
