Mike and Jim compare and contrast (Jim mostly yells) the 2017 DC superhero movie Justice League (referred to as the Josstice League since it was done by Joss Whedon) and the 2021 Zack Snyder version (also known as the Snyder Cut).

Mike and Jim discuss and debate the line Batman won't cross--killing criminals--using the character Damian Wayne, who often has to recite the mantra "justice not vengeance" to restrain himself.
This discussion is driven by (and contains spoilers for) the following DC animated films: Son of Batman, Batman vs. Robin, Batman: Bad Blood, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

Mike and Jim discuss the 2020 DC film Wonder Woman 1984. And the Lasso of Truth compels them to warn you there will be spoilers, one of which is neither of them liked the movie.

Mike and Jim discuss and debate (almost entirely avoiding spoilers) the 2020 DC film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). They agree it's not a bad movie. Mike thinks it's borderline good. Jim thinks it's closer to just okay, but it does make him want to read more Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey comic books.

Mike and Jim discuss Crisis on Infinite Earths, the 2019-2020 CW/DC Arrowverse television series crossover event spanning episodes of Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, during which Mike constantly mispronounces Stephen Amell's name and overreacts as Jim constantly spoils all things Arrowverse.
Jim also spoils the comic book series of the same name that the crossover story is, in part, based on, but since those comics were published 35 years ago, he doesn't feel guilty about it.

Mike and special guest Rhys investigate the character Superman. They discuss what makes the character great, how writing for the character can be difficult, and how the character has been portrayed in live action. Just don't mention his mother's name.

Mike and Jim get animated (well, Jim gets more animated) as they discuss two DC animated movies: Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) and Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans (2019). 
This episode also begins and ends with a discussion about animation, more specifically comicbook/superhero animation, and why, even though it may be perceived by many this way, it’s not just for kids.
 

In this episode, Mike and Jim discuss Batman, including who has played the character best in live-action and animated portrayals, and what future Batman stories (and in what format) they would like to see.

In this episode, it’s more like the Hater and the Hater. Mike and Jim, for the first time ever, both have very few positive things to say during a movie review, as they discuss the highly hyped 2019 film The Joker.
WARNING: Episode contains spoilers for a film currently in theaters, and occasional strong language (Jim says f*ck a lot—he’s not sorry).

In this episode of the Fanboy and the Hater, we review the 2019 DC movie Shazam! In a rare twist, Jim gets to play the role of Fanboy, while Mike’s Hater mainly takes issue with the movie’s many cliches, tropes, and lazy writing.
(Fun Fact: Most of this episode comes from the first thing we ever recorded for this podcast as a proof of concept, so . . . some aspects of the audio quality aren’t our best.)
