How to Reboot the DC Universe: A Success Formula – Phil and Chuck return for another episode of NerdTalks with a candid look at the future of the DC Universe!
DC Comics has been publishing comics such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman since 1937, while Marvel Comics didn’t get its start until 1961. Just to put that into a little context, that means Superman and Batman predate World War II. However, as the head honchos at DC have proven time and again, older doesn’t necessarily mean wiser!
But now that Warner Brothers has merged with Discovery, many are speculating it could lead to major changes to the DC Universe, for better or worse. In this episode, Phil and Chuck break it all down and give their pitch for a successful DC reboot!
