This week a pair of C list characters from DC and Marvel debut
new limited run series on Max and Disney+. Agatha all along is a
spin off of WandaVision (2021) and a reimagining of Witch Agatha
Harkness, a supporting character in Marvel comics going back to
1970. The Penguin aka Oswald Cobblepot, (here renamed Oswald Cobb)
has been a Batman adversary since 1941. More recent outings have
morphed him from an umbrella and fowl obsessed novelty villain into
a grotesque, twisted and sinister character. This most recent
incarnation from The Batman (2022) casts an unrecognizable Colin
Farrell as a low-level mobster on the rise in a recently broken
Gotham City. One episode in, which of these two offerings do the
Regular Joe’s find the most engaging?
The Joe’s also take a first look at an extended teaser/trailer for
Thunderbolts* and cover the usual Random Topics. Thanks for
listening!
