HE Is Back in Avengers: Doomsday and Marvel’s Playing the Hits Again

HE Is Back in Avengers: Doomsday and Marvel’s Playing the Hits Again

Spoiler warning up top: Frank reacts to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser that’s currently playing in theaters and the big headline that comes with it, Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers. The hype is real, but the conversation gets complicated fast, especially when you zoom out and ask what this says about Marvel’s confidence in the post Endgame era. Frank also unpacks the idea (and the risk) of Doomsday being framed as a direct sequel to Endgame, and what a “soft reboot” after Secret Wars could mean for the MCU’s future.

  • 00:00:00 Spoiler warning and initial reaction to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser and Chris Evans returning

  • 00:00:16 The excitement vs. the bigger worry: what this says about Marvel after Endgame

  • 00:00:32 Russo Brothers calling Doomsday a direct Endgame sequel and what gets left behind

  • 00:00:46 “Soft reboot” talk after Secret Wars and how Marvel rebuilds trust going forward

  • 00:01:14 Does this undercut Sam Wilson and the newer era of the MCU?

  • 00:01:56 Listener comments requested for the next episode

  • Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers hits hard emotionally for a lot of fans.

  • The bigger concern is what this signals about Marvel’s confidence in newer characters and newer phases.

  • Positioning Doomsday as a direct sequel to Endgame raises questions about how much of Phase 4 and 5 will matter.

  • The “soft reboot after Secret Wars” idea makes comic sense, but it also feels like Marvel resetting the board to safer territory.

  • There’s a real tension between hardcore fan concerns and what mainstream audiences will likely love without overthinking it.

  • If Steve comes back, it opens a big conversation about legacy, leadership, and whether Sam Wilson gets pushed aside.

  • “Hell yeah, Chris Evans is back as Steve Rogers.”

  • “This means that basically Marvel doesn’t trust anything they put out after Endgame.”

  • “It’s not like Steve Rogers doesn’t always come back in the comic books.”

Batman: Caped Crusader Announces Hamish Linklater as the New Voice of Batman

Batman: Caped Crusader Announces Hamish Linklater as the New Voice of Batman

Prime Video has just unveiled that Hamish Linklater will be the new voice of Batman in the highly anticipated animated series, "Batman: Caped Crusader." Fans got their first taste of his portrayal in a new clip released today, showcasing his take on the iconic Dark Knight. This new series is a continuation of the beloved Bruce Timm and Paul Dini animated series, which set the standard for Batman animations. With the passing of Kevin Conroy, who had become the definitive voice of Batman since "Batman: The Animated Series," there was a significant void to fill. Hamish Linklater steps into this role with a deep understanding of the legacy and expectations that come with it. Series creators J.J. Abrams, Bruce Timm, and Matt Reeves are thrilled to return to Gotham City. "We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City," Timm, Abrams, and Reeves stated. "The series will be thrilling, cinematic, and evocative of Batman's noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world." Prime Video is equally enthusiastic about hosting this revival series. Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, emphasized the impact of the original series: "Batman: The Animated Series helped pioneer the evolution of superhero storytelling and defined the Dark Knight for a generation. Batman: Caped Crusader will no doubt continue that tradition and, alongside Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, we're thrilled to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation to offer a variety of takes on the Batman mythos to our global Prime Video customers." Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, echoed this excitement: "We are excited to partner with Amazon to begin an all-new animated chapter of Batman. From the cinematic noir storytelling of Batman: Caped Crusader to the comedic adventures of Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, these new projects ensure that there will be an animated Batman story ready to excite fans of all ages." Stay tuned for more updates on "Batman: Caped Crusader" as it gears up to bring a fresh yet familiar take on the Dark Knight to screens everywhere.
