Episode #110: Aquaman

The Bat-Jar Podcast

Swim along with us as we ride into 2019 by looking at the final comic book film released in 2018, DC's "Aquaman". How did this aquatic hero get his start in the comics? Why was he the punchline of so many jokes for so long? Does this movie save his reputation? How much does this borrow from Thor and Black Panther?

The guys look into the history of Jason Mamoa's casting and the choices that led to this final product. Does this film save the DC film franchise? Can a movie about an underwater superhero be entertaining? What is a Chekov's gun?
