  <description>Prodigious Saps No. 9: "Jimbo Gunn"
James Gunn's DC Universe: the Thrilling Possibilities
This week, we catch up on the latest drama surrounding James Gunn's new DC Universe, including the departure of Henry Cavill as Superman. We try to parse the cryptic scraps of info Gunn has offered on Twitter about what he and Co-CEO Peter Safran are planning. What will Gunn's take on Superman be like? Why exactly was Cavill dismissed? Is Gal Gadot staying on as Wonder Woman? Will any of the old Snyderverse canon be preserved?
We then gleefully follow the nerdy brick road into speculation town, trying to imagine what Gunn's DC Universe will be like. What are we most excited about, what characters are we hoping to see (A-List and obscure)... and what concerns do we have?
All we know for sure is we're watching history in the making. We understand many DC fans are angry, heartbroken, and confused right now, but we hope that after listening to this show you'll be as excited about the possibilities as we are.

    <![CDATA[<p>Prodigious Saps No. 9: &quot;Jimbo Gunn&quot;<br>
James Gunn&#39;s DC Universe: the Thrilling Possibilities</p>

<p>This week, we catch up on the latest drama surrounding James Gunn&#39;s new DC Universe, including the departure of Henry Cavill as Superman. We try to parse the cryptic scraps of info Gunn has offered on Twitter about what he and Co-CEO Peter Safran are planning. What will Gunn&#39;s take on Superman be like? Why exactly was Cavill dismissed? Is Gal Gadot staying on as Wonder Woman? Will any of the old Snyderverse canon be preserved?</p>

<p>We then gleefully follow the nerdy brick road into speculation town, trying to imagine what Gunn&#39;s DC Universe will be like. What are we most excited about, what characters are we hoping to see (A-List and obscure)... and what concerns do we have?</p>

<p>All we know for sure is we&#39;re watching history in the making. We understand many DC fans are angry, heartbroken, and confused right now, but we hope that after listening to this show you&#39;ll be as excited about the possibilities as we are.</p>

  <description>This week, as Brendan said towards the end of last week's show, we have words for Mr. Snyder. After this... it's time to move on (maybe).
We begin with a brief review of the delightful SUPERMAN ‘78 comic book series before getting into it. Once and for all, we detail everything we didn't like—and to be fair, some things that we did like—about the Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Justice League, the Snyder Cut, etc. 
Also: Wonder Woman 1984, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, Velvet Goldmine, and Chad's old Ziggy Stardust broadway musical idea.
