New Superman, Fake Jor-El, and What’s Next for Batman?

In this episode of The Flannel Wizard, we dive deep into the wild theories and lingering questions after Superman (2025)—starting with one of the biggest shockers: Is Jor-El even real? From hidden agendas to possible AI trickery, we’re breaking down everything that feels off about Clark’s Kryptonian dad.

Then we tackle the heated debate: Is this Superman too weak? We compare his power levels, emotional arc, and presence to the legends that came before—from Reeve and Cavill to animation and comics.

But we’re not stopping there—because with Superman rebooted, what’s next for Batman in James Gunn’s new DCU? We talk legacy, tone, and what kind of Dark Knight might be rising in this new era.
