Batman By The Numbers: Aquaman 2 PLUS A Farewell to the DCEU

Published: Jan. 1, 2024, 12:51 a.m.

There\u2019s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.\xa0 No matter how many times he\u2019s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City\u2019s greatest defender.\xa0 With so much Bat content out there, there\u2019s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!\xa0 This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman\u2019s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.

\n

Join host\xa0Daniel Cohen, Pop Break\u2019s former Film Editor and Resident Bat-Maven, as he brings on several guests every month to share his passion for the one and only\xa0Dark Knight.\xa0 From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.\xa0 Bottom-line: If you\u2019re a Batman fan, this is required listening.

\n

As 2023 comes to an end, so does potentially the DCEU as we know it!\xa0 In what has been bookmarked as the last produced film of the DCEU/Snyderverse, Daniel and crew review and discuss the sequel to the highest grossing DC film of all time, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.\xa0 Spoiler Alert!

\n

Daniel is joined by podcast editor of the pop break, Alex Marcus, as well as co-host of the Not Couple Goals podcast, Allie Nelson, making her second appearance on pod!\xa0 The three delve deep into the ocean discussing all things Aquaman, including its underwhelming box office.\xa0 But despite that, did we like the film??\xa0 Well, it\u2019s varying degrees of \u201ceh,\u201d but which of our panelists called it the worst movie in the DCEU?!?!?!\xa0 You\u2019ll have to listen to find out!

\n

Aside from the quality of the movie, the bat crew revisit what they thought about the first film from 2018, chat on where Patrick Wilson\u2019s Orm ranks among other DCEU villains, and Jason Momoa\u2019s legacy as Aquaman.

\n

But as this is the last Batman by the Numbers podcast of 2023, that\u2019s not at all!\xa0 Moving beyond Aquaman, the crew discuss the future of DC on film, and whether Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is truly the last movie of the Snyderverse.\xa0 They chat on which actors have the best chance at making a return, if any, and determine just how much pressure there is on James Gunn\u2019s Superman: Legacy in 2025.

\n

Are we optimistic?\xa0 Pessimistic?\xa0 Medium??
