In episode 33 of The Electric Shadows Podcast, Robs Daniel & Wallis take a look at Justice League. And, you know what? They find stuff to like in there!

Sure, it’s a mess and clearly the work of two different people. But, it’s entertaining and works to right the wrongs of Batman v Superman.

Rob Wallis comes up with a perfect classroom analogy for the current output from Marvel and DC. They also get a chance to do some voice work when discussing a little shonky CGI that was required on a particular cast member.

They also still have issues with Wonder Woman sitting out World War Two, despite this film trying to retcon her absence.

What’s the verdict: A franchise with no future will always look to its past. Wonder Woman riffed on 1978 Superman’s fish out of water sweetness and noble derring-do. A perfect antidote to Suicide Squad’s cynicism and meanness.
