Lanterns Finale Reaction, The Batman Part II Delay, and Marvel News

The Lanterns era has come to an end, and the Phase Hero hosts have lots of thoughts and feelings. Join us as we discuss the DCU show as well as the latest Marvel and DC news. John Stewart and Hal Jordan come to the end of their journey on HBO this week. Jenna Anderson, Jamie Jirak & Aaron Perine are here to break down Lanterns Episode 8 "Dirt and Stars."

Shortly before the show began, Deadline and other trades report that The Batman Part II is delayed because of Matt Reeves having a family emergency. The panel breaks down what we know so far. All that plus Frank Grilo's social media posting, Dynamic Duo updates and James Gunn already writing another DCU project.

On the Marvel side of things, Avengers Doomsday has been slowly trickling out merch. We talk "Wanda Maximoff Watch 2026" as the Latverian Witches get some focus. Endgame Encore helps the Avengers regain the top-spot all-time at the box office. Then, VisionQuest news and Prime Video's Clone Saga Spider-Man project. There's been so much to talk about! Get in here for a fantastic Phase Hero.
