The month of January comes to an end with a 5th Saturday, which means the Good Brothers are taking another trip to the Multiverse of DC Animation. This month they return to the Silver Age world of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Cal and Liam review the episode “Triumvirate of Terror” which features a team-up of both the DC Trinity as well as their fiendish foes in Lex Luthor, The Joker, and Cheetah. Hear the hosts break down a myriad of homages and easter eggs, thicc Lex Luthor, the deep cut of Prez Rickard, and musical references to Wonder Woman ’77. Plus the closing scenes nod to Alex Ross’s masterpiece Kingdom Come, misogynist Batman, and why these episodes are just so darn fun. Plus a preview of the series being covered in the month of February and much more fun to be had on this week’s DCAU Review!
For the final time of the decade, the Good Brothers are bringing you an all new DCAU Review! This week the hosts wrap up Justice League month with the episode “Wild Cards Parts I & II” featuring Mark Hammil’s Joker in all his glory, and a few other DC Animated voice veterans you’ll recognize as the Royal Flush Gang! The guys discuss the all-star voice cast, the progression of the Hawkgirl/Green Lantern romance, the visuals of a Las Vegas backdrop and where they would’ve liked to have seen the plot end up compared to where it actually goes. Plus a complete scorecard and the hosts reveal the first series being reviewed in 2020!
To celebrate the release of the Joaquin Phoenix-led Joker movie, Cal & Liam release their very first bonus episode of the DCAU Review.

Fresh off of the holiday season it’s episode 2 of the DCAU Review! Cal & Liam tackle episode 2 of Batman: The Animated Series entitled Christmas With The Joker.
