Beyond that, he takes time to answer listener questions, and to share with you what a monumental week it's been for Revenge of The Fans and this beautiful community we're all building together.

But before that conversation, MFR catches you on all of the Marvel and DC analysis you need right now. From dissecting an aspect of the "Disney v James Gunn" controversy that too few are talking about, to revealing a decision the Mouse House is made that is sure to cause quite a stir, he explains the strange dichotomy of what's going on over there.

On this week's episode of The Fanboy Podcast, host and Revenge of The Fans editor-in-chief Mario-Francisco Robles tackles yesterday's big Batman developments, fields a host of listener questions, and wraps things up with an epic Star Wars chat alongside the other two members of his Jedi Council (The Batman-On-Film Podcast host Rick Shew, and The Fanboy Garage's Aaron Virola!).

FANBOY #67: "Waiting On Superman"

FANBOY #66: "Cavill's Game of Poker, Batman Bits, The Spider-Man Deal, and Way More!"

After an unexpected hiatus, The Fanboy Podcast returns with its 66th episode! Host, and Revenge of The Fans Editor-in-Chief, Mario-Francisco Robles opens the sure with his closing statements on yesterday's big Wall Street Journal feature on the Snyder Cut of Justice League. From there, he talks about Henry Cavill and the state of his negotiations with Warner Bros. over his future as Superman. Next on the docket are all of the different little happenings and whispers are Batman-centric films like The Batman, Joker, and the various Harley Quinn films on the horizon. 

MFR then shifts gear and shares some new insights he's been given into the parameters of Marvel's deal with Sony and what it means for Spider-Man, the MCU, and those Spidey Spin-Offs they've got on the way, like Venom, Silver and Black, abd Morbius. Find out the corner Disney/Marvel backed itself into with this deal, and why Sony has the potential to laugh all the way to the bank while the Mouse House has plenty to lose.

Next on the agenda for this week's The Fanboy Podcast are MFR's thoughts on the first trailer for Titans, the new series expected to launch alongside the release of the DC Universe streaming service.

Finally, he wraps up by answering a listener question about Suicide Squad 2.

FANBOY #65: "The Age of Heroes Is Now, Sony's Sneaky Spider-Man Plans, And DC Adapting Donner"

On the 65th edition of The Fanboy Podcast (formerly the El Fanboy Podcast) host and Revenge of The Fans Editor-In-Chief Mario-Francisco Robles discusses several important topics. He opens with an explanation for the show's revised name and where he hopes to take the podcast moving forward, but then segues into some revised thoughts and insights that came to him on his second rewatch of Justice League.

That leads into a discussion about the importance of these seemingly trivial superhero movies.

From there, he turns his attention towards all of the bananas stuff coming out of Sony lately. From their ambitious SDCC plans, to the way they seem to be doubling down on their expanded Spider-Verse, and what he thinks it all means. One thing's for certain: With Venom, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Morbius (!!!), Silver & Black, and seemingly more on the way...Sony's Marvel efforts aren't going anywhere (and that may have been their plan all along). 

Find out why it's a Win-Win for Sony, and a Win-Lose for Disney.

Then The Fanboy shifts its focus over to The Batman, the streaming DC Universe service, and some recent comments from Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige about how DC should use Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie as its touchstone moving forward.
