A few episodes ago we asked whether DC Studios was on fire... Well, Warner Bros Discovery has clapped back at us it seems.
Not only did we get a ton of more information on the upcoming DC projects, but we also had massive news with more Lord of the Rings content in the works and, the possibility of a certain Peter Jackson returning to the Directors chair.
What may be even bigger than both those things was the release of Hogwarts Legacy. The sales numbers were staggering causing Warner Bros to say there will be more Wizarding World content in the future as well.
Sorry We're still reeling from how hard Warner bros smacked us with all of this new content. All that and more in this weeks episode.

Sorry We're still reeling from how hard Warner bros smacked us with all of this new content. All that and more in this weeks episode.
Yeah, have fun. That's how you wanted to start the episode. No. Too late.
Corey:Did you already hit record? Yeah. Welcome back, everybody to a new episode of the Dorkside nexus. As you've already heard, I am extremely excited to be here. I am your host Corey. I have to the right of me.
Brooksie:Brooksie Hello. How's it going? Everyone?
Corey:And over in the editor's chair.
Tanner:It's always me, Tanner.
Corey:And, wow, it's been a minute. Since we've been been on this whole podcast thing, guys. How's everybody doing?
Brooksie:Pretty good. I mean, you know, life gets in the way of everything. And adulting sucks.
Corey:Yes, yes, it does. Yeah.
Tanner:Life, life gets in the way of everything. We're currently in the process of retooling our schedule, so we can put out more content. But this is the first time we've been able to sit down in the same room and do this. In what a month and a half.
Corey:Spending. Yes, yeah, about that. Yeah.
Tanner:So here we are. We're back. Hopefully, you'll be seeing more of us in the next coming weeks, though.
Brooksie:Yeah, hopefully I can get everything done and with taxes, and then eventually get down to Austin's Microcenter. So I can build a computer. So we can do a lot more remote recording.
Tanner:So a little backstory, guys, Brooksie is insanely good at maintaining his crap. He has had a MacBook since he was a sophomore in high school. And that's going on 12 years that he was able to keep that thing running, I go through a computer every three years. So I am very impressed that he was able to keep that going.
Brooksie:Like I said, I want my equipment, regardless if it's a console or controller or computer, and very good working conditions. So I clean it, maintain it. And any time someone says don't do that, or make sure you shut it down, or shut it down. So that stuff is expensive. So I might as well at least keep the longevity of it.
Tanner:And then there's me who's like, oh, $1,500 every three years on new piece of technology. Yes, that sounds great. Or in the case of my PC. I've had this motherboard for about two months now I could I should probably get a new motherboard and CPU.
Corey:Well, that's where it's hard to be you got the one ideology of like, I'm gonna take care of this for as long as I can keep it in good working order. But the way that stuff is made these days, they're not made to last, there's planned obsolescence. So you get maybe like two, three years out of a piece of tech. Before the newest ones on the market. You have to upgrade constantly
Tanner:well, and then software and everything goes along with the new tech. It just says okay, these are the requirements we need. Now that tech is getting so good. And it just like you said that obsolescence is just built into the natural progression of things. And then I can't live with that. So I am always like, alright, what new exciting thing can I put in my computer?
Corey:Meanwhile, I'm like three generations of game console behind. That's okay. You like what you
Brooksie:like, and that's fine.
Corey:I finally got the PS two. Have you guys played this shit? Yeah.
Tanner:Yeah, it's the best selling console of all time. Was it
Brooksie:was Yeah, yeah, that
Corey:doesn't surprise me. The Xbox original was fun. But it wasn't like in every household, like I hear PS two was.
Tanner:So part of the reason why PS two was so popular is because it was the first console to also act as an entertainment system, that it was the first console to feature a DVD player. So that means right, so everyone was like, Oh, we can get a game system and a DVD player.
Brooksie:And all you had to do really do to play your games just obviously have a controller and then buy a memory card separate.
Corey:Do you guys remember when DVDs used to have demos for games? Like like first mission
Brooksie:like there was the Van Helsing game with you jazz I want to has for Xbox original Xbox, you put in the DVD was like the very first mission. I thought that was kind of cool how they did stuff like that. I
Corey:think the Revenge of the Sith bonus DVD had like a Battlefront two mission. And I remember playing that thing for hours. And that's how I convinced my dad to get the game. Because I was like, this one mission. That's fun, right? Nowadays there's too much stuff outside Yeah, I
Brooksie:gotta pay like an arm and a leg for a get this game and it's not great. So that fun though.
Tanner:Yeah, so Tech has been on our minds a lot lately on how to make it so we can put out more content without having to come up with a set day for us to get together. So beyond the Look at more episodes to come. But since the last time we sat down, a lot of crap has happened. There's been a lot of shit. A lot of good shit that's happened. And we're hoping to dive into as much if not all of it that as well. I can't talk all of it today.
Corey:Then a lot of nerdy news, but I mean, DC has put out so much stuff recently in the way of news.
Tanner:And we recently just had our episode of is DC on fire and they've come out and basically said, No, we're not on fire, we have a plan. And here it is, guys take take a peek.
Corey:And I like the plan. So far. James Gunn got on posted Twitter, pretty much all the social media and he just like laid out. So we got phase one, they're not really calling it phases, but essentially it is, Gods and Monsters is going to be the theme of the first. I think it was the first 10 products projects that are coming out. But there's more to come. They haven't announced everything they're working on. But they got a pretty good slate here we got.
Tanner:Well, before we jumped to the slate. Let's also talk about how they are sticking with the Flash movie and they drop that trailer recently. I can understand now why they have stuck with this movie. And with Ezra Miller for this movie. It makes so much sense. Well, it's
Corey:James Gunn in that announcement. Just you're right, we should start with that. He even said like there are a couple of movies that are not part of my creative tenure here. But I am so confident in this movie that it is one of the greatest films, they're still putting that out. They're still putting out we talked about Black Beetle, Shazam. And Aquaman are still coming out. Those are going to finish out the DC, EU. And then flash, which I think a lot of people were surprised how good that trailer
Brooksie:was. Yeah, it looks it looks really good. And from what it sounds like, it's going to kind of wrap up, you know, the DC EU universe, which is pretty much what Tanner says it makes sense that why there's thinking with it. So I'm judging by what we saw in the trailer just a few minutes ago. It um, I'm definitely gonna go see it in theaters. And it definitely looks like a nice bow on the ending of that universe.
Tanner:It really looks like that story exists to wrap up that universe because they even mentioned in the trailer, you can go to different timelines, different universes, Berry, and the repercussions of berry scurrying up timelines and universes. So it seems like Brooksie set a really nice bow to just wrap everything up there.
Corey:It sounds like a nice plot device. But then you realize Flash is the character to do that with multiple times in the comics. He's done something with time, time travel, and, oh, I'm in a new universe. And I think that's going to be part of the fun of the DCU is going to be okay. what's similar and what's changed?
Tanner:Yes. And it also goes back to that meme. God fucking dammit, Barry.
Corey:Yeah. The picture of Oliver Queen, the green arrow in the flash costume, saying Barry, what did you do now? Now because it changed the timeline. So the now Barry Allen is the green arrow and Oliver Queen as the Flash. There's precedent for it in the comics. So it makes sense that if you're going to tell a flash story in a movie for the very first time ever, you go with one that's going to help not only the rest of your universe, but it looks like a damn good story to Batman. I'm a huge fan of Ben Affleck Batman. People know that. Michael Keaton is not my favorite, but boy seeing him come back.
Brooksie:That'll be that'll be definitely cool to see. For sure. And it looks like he has like the same style outfit from the movie he started which was really good. So that'll be good to see as well. And I believe that was Michael Keaton was the Batman who faced the Jack Nicholson Joker. So yeah, that'll be really awesome to see
Corey:you for dance with the devil by the pale moon like what? I say that to all my victims before I kill them. Good movie.
Tanner:It looks. We have spoken previously at length as to why we were so confused. They were keeping as we're on with all of his drama, and just how toxic he is for any brand at this point. I mean, Fantastic Beasts. You guys haven't seen the movies, but they've written them out now. So in it makes sense why they wrote them out because it would break the Harry Potter timeline. But if they kept him going, so it makes sense. He's out of that franchise. And now he's going to be out of the DC universe after this I would imagine but they're gonna give it as like his last hurrah and I'm excited If my only question is do you think they continue with it being Barry Allen or do we get Wally West? Flash in the new DC stuff?
Brooksie:I think it's a time will tell kind of thing. I think we'll see a different Barry Allen maybe at first, but I'm kind of hoping we do get a Wally West like Justice League Justice League Unlimited Wally West.
Tanner:Well, that's kind of the vibe that James Gunn said he was going for, for the DC Universe moving forward is that Justice League of America, the Justice League Unlimited and original Justice League show. So that to me, I love that because now we get John Stuart Green Lantern versus how Jordan and I'm a bigger fan of John Stewart Green Lantern.
Corey:Well, here's the thing they announced they're going to be doing a show a live action series on HBO Max called lanterns, and it's going to be about multiple Green Lanterns at once. Doing some kind of investigation. They're saying it's going to have Hal Jordan, it's going to have John Stuart, possibly Kyle Ryder or possibly a any Green Lantern, they could basically pull into the series, which I think is a good way to do it. Because then you have a Green Lantern for everyone.
Tanner:I have a question is a super suit gonna be green, and animated?
Corey:If they're smart, it's not animated. Although most movies do that. Now, Avengers, endgame, their fancy white and red suits, those were all computer generated. Like we're in a time where it's not going to be bad. I think Green Lantern in some ways was ahead of its time. And then in other ways was not quite up to modern now writing standards.
Tanner:But again, practical effects versus CGI, there is something to be said that there is a place for both. And you need to find that balance. And we're seeing that in a bunch of other projects. You have to have that balance in order to suspend disbelief even further, because CGI as good as it gets now. Holy crap, and you could still tell it CGI.
Brooksie:Yeah, one one an example of, you know, really good, practical practical effects is the very first episode of the boys.
Corey:Yeah. That won awards, right.
Brooksie:They want to work. They won awards for that Eric crypkey won awards for that. And I was just like, nice. Yeah.
Tanner:shows that both matter. Both matter. You have to do it right. But what else is coming out on that slate quarry you have you have all that information? Oh, boy. Well,
Corey:I'll go by the ones that I'm most excited for. And, again, shouldn't surprise anybody. We're getting a Batman film. This batman is called The Brave and the Bold. And it's going to be yes. And it's going to be a Batman and Robin story because noticeably since was it 97 Whenever the Schwarzenegger Batman and Robin came out with Chris O'Donnell and George Clooney. They haven't done Robin in live action. Now. You can say they have Robin John Blake in The Dark Knight movies.
Tanner:Yeah, I wouldn't go that far as to call them Robin they just gave it was just a
Brooksie:little tidbit. Exactly. And
Corey:then in the Ben Affleck universe, they allude to Robin being killed at some point by Harley and Joker, but we never see it.
Tanner:Which Robin Do you think that is? The one in the that one in the slider verse. Yeah,
Corey:supposedly, and I think this was in like some random reference book. It's Deke Grayson is the one who died. Yeah. I'm kind of glad they didn't show that universe because I would be already like that's,
Tanner:that's a universe breaking. That is 100% universe breaking, but
Corey:that I can understand being a universe where a Batman would start off the movie Batman vs. Superman, killing people, branding people, like decreasing was always kinda like the light hearted fun one. And without him, I believe Batman would get a little violent. But this one in The Brave and the Bold of the James Gunn era. Damian Wayne,
Tanner:that's Joker. I mean, that's four. Right? That's the fourth Robin.
Corey:That is you have Dick Grayson, Jason Todd Tim, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Carrie Kelly, but she's also from Elseworlds stories. We'll talk about Elseworlds that concept in a minute. Damian Wayne is actually the son of Bruce Wayne. And Tao. Oh, cool. Yes. Yeah, like a secret son. He's raised by the League of Assassins, or the League of Shadows depending on whatever university you're in. So
Brooksie:it's it sounds like this. Robin is kind of similar to the movies like Justice League Dark Justice League Apocalypse war, like he's the last final Robin in just those animated DC movies. So that's kind of cool that he's doing that type of Robin approach. So do you do you know has any anything been said like with the other three Robins is predecessor's. Like if if there'll be like a Nightwing project or holy sea Nightwing Do you know
Tanner:I feel like that's what they're why they're going this route. So those people so those characters can exist in this universe. That's why I feel like this route is happening. So that okay, night wings, a popular character, Red Hood, all that stuff they are in this universe. Now that for me begs the question of in the MCU, we saw that Captain America was the first Avenger which makes sense, but it was really Tony Stark that started the whole universe. So to me, this feels like Batman will be the first hero that the world knows about you. He's and then we've been told already with that Henry Cavill not being Superman anymore that they're going in, in a way where they want to show a younger Superman just starting out in Metropolis sort of thing, which is cool. And eventually you can bring Wonder Woman and Diana, Diana and aka Wonder Woman and all that stuff. So to me, it seems like Batman was the first hero that we're gonna get in this universe. Which now to continue on this Batman subject. Who plays Batman? I'm sorry. All Stan it Jensen Ackles. As Bruce Wayne would be perfect in this kind of like old slightly older one.
Brooksie:Nope, nope. See, I see your point. But I can't remember the name of the movie. But I'm telling you. Jensen Ackles voiced Red Hood Under the Red Hood. If he does adjacent Todd, I'd be 100% okay with that.
Corey:My concern is I think he's a little too old for Jason Todd right now. He's in his late 40s. Yes, he
Brooksie:that is fair. So maybe maybe you're onto something Tanner about him portraying a Bruce Wayne. That would be a cool concept. I could
Corey:see that. He's also voiced Batman in some of the recent animated films on Halloween.
Tanner:That's why I said that he's voiced him we saw him make his his exit from Dean Winchester into a superhero genre with the boys. And then and he's also been voicing that man. So it's a natural progression, in my opinion. And he could and he's got the chops to do it. We've all seen that with with his time on Supernatural, and then him a soldier boy and in the boys. So it just makes sense to me. Plus, if
Corey:we know that this Batman is going to be a father, it makes sense for him to be about this age.
Brooksie:That's true. No, that's true. So yeah, that's a good point. And I've seen some bits and pieces of the long Halloween part one and two. And Jensen brings his A game for voicing Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Corey:He's really good. He's like probably top three Batman. Top four Batman voices that I've heard.
Brooksie:Yeah. So I think I think now that we've discussed it a little bit, I'm with you tanner on. But
Corey:he will never top the goat. Kevin Conroy rest in peace.
Tanner:True mushroom. I just. I we know I'm a big Jensen Ackles fan. I just think he's the one that makes the most sense at this point.
Corey:I've also heard Jake Gyllenhaal he was he's been rumored to be in the running for Batman for years.
Brooksie:He's it's it's interesting. You say that because he's actually been training. So it would make sense that he could he could very well could so yeah, well, time will tell with with that.
Tanner:I'm not opposed to either of them. I just go to Jensen because of his time at voicing Batman.
Brooksie:And he's done very well was soldier boy. So well.
Tanner:John halls did well with Mysterio tro he is
Corey:very good. And the cool thing is, if you play a character in live action in this new DC Universe, you are also voicing them in animation. They are keeping everything same actors all the way throughout. So it's not like what if, yeah, for what if some of them return? Some of them are voice actors. This is the whole thing. So Jensen's already got like a leg up.
Brooksie:Yeah, so that yeah, that works. That's perfect.
Tanner:And Jensen, as we know will commit to something. Absolutely he will die if he did 15 seasons of Dean Winchester,
Brooksie:and he's rumored to do more of soldier boy in the boys in the future, as well as has no problem voicing Batman in future animation projects as
Corey:well. Who would be like I gotta go voice Batman today I want to shoot
Brooksie:somebody. If I'm pretty sure if he was approached by James Gunn. He'd be like, Oh, heck yeah, I definitely be down to do another animated movie.
Corey:Another interesting thing about this is because it's Damian Wayne that they're doing. It's a very different Batman and Robin dynamic. Because all the other ones have been like, Okay, you got brutal Batman, he's breaking people's bones. He's sending criminals to the hospital. And then you got Robin Dan. sent around in the red and white tights like just drawing fire. This Robin is the like the tough assassin he's gonna go for the kill shot before anything else. So to see Batman Bruce Wayne be the one who's got to be like, Hey kiddo, can we like rein it back a little bit like you didn't finish your graham crackers. Let's go back to the Batcave. Guy. Please don't come
Brooksie:make sure your peanut butter and crackers before you break the guys.
Tanner:There was a clip I saw on Tik Tok it was Bruce is going out to like an event. And Damien calls him while he's driving and he's Damian basically says make sure you fucking wrap it before you tap it. You don't need another one a father,
Brooksie:please check your drink and just hangs up. I've seen that video. It's
Corey:hilarious to Damien's hilarious.
Tanner:That's why it's gonna be great. And it makes sense that you could take an Ackles, a Gyllenhaal, someone of that that's a little bit older. That's been doing this for a while. And what's nice is that we haven't talked about the rest of the DC movies yet. But they're not writing off the Matt Reeves Batman movie with Robert Pattinson that's going to be in they're gonna do a whole bunch of Elseworlds stories is what it seems. And that's gonna be like the flagship Elseworlds.
Brooksie:Yep. And what I like too, is that we've got the first one, and I really liked the first one with excuse me, I can't think of the actor's name right. We played several patents and Robert Pattinson. Thank you. And it's from what a lot of people are kind of suspecting it sounds like we're gonna get this The next movie is going to take place during the winter. And it sounds like it's going to be a Batman versus Mr. Freeze. And then you know, we've you had mentioned that we're we've seen images of Joker, so maybe Joker will kind of have some more prominent role in this next movie. And then the third movie will be focused more on Joker so on so forth, but I do like how, again, this is more of an Elseworlds type of story. This this Matt Reeves Batman has the to me it feels like has the same type of atmosphere aesthetic as like the Batman who turned into the Batman class as that same Gothic, Dark Universe type. I'm not saying that'll happen. I'm just saying that it's it's a it has that same type of as aesthetic.
Corey:It feels the same.
Brooksie:It feels the same. The
Tanner:nice was gonna say we've talked a lot about Batman, I want to know more about some of the other stuff that's coming out.
Corey:Right, so we got the Batman part two, which the penguin series that they're doing on HBO Max is also going to lead directly into the sequel, and will supposedly have Pattinson as Batman in it at a couple of points.
Tanner:i That's the only reason I care about it. Yeah, pretty
Corey:much it's gonna be like after the flood that happens in that movie. It's going to be kind of the criminals reaching for power. Batman is now actually probably going to be like in the shadows kind of at the beginning of Dark Knight. How he is like they're superstitious. They're like Oh, crap, he's a Batman now. So then we got Joker, hold on, hold
Tanner:on. That's how it was at the beginning of that movie though. Like everyone was scared when they saw the
Corey:they were scared of vengeance. Yep, just kind of like brutally beating random criminals on the street. This is like, I feel like the actual not the cartels, but basically like the Carmine Falcone is the big criminal bosses are going to be actually worrying about this guy, because he's going to start going after criminals that are damaging to the infrastructure. It's no longer just like, hey, here's a mugger on the street. I'm gonna beat the shit out of that guy. Though Batman is the transition of like, I'm going to start going after like the politically corrupt like the people were buying off cops. He's going to start being a threat to the actual like organized on organized
Brooksie:crime. Yeah, organized crime. Yep.
Tanner:All right, let's get off the bat man. We've got we've got a real
Corey:Batman part two, then the Joker with Joaquin Phoenix, that sequel with Lady Gaga. That will also be an Elseworlds it's going to be not a musical but it will have music elements in it. That's fine. You don't put Gaga in a movie and don't let her like sing some crazy Harley Quinn type mind goof stuff. Um, then we got in the actual slate for Gods and Monsters. We have Superman legacies, which is interesting. We don't know a lot about it other than it seems like James Gunn was hired to write it or was offered it. Before all of this before he was even in charge of the DC stuff.
Tanner:So it sounds like he probably had a screenplay, like a treatment written. And then he presented it and they're like, you just want to write this whole universe. Yeah, they
Corey:asked him to do the Superman and he was like, I don't really know. And they're like, do the Superman he's like, okay, and then they're like, do the whole universe and he's like, let me have Peter Safran as somebody to kind of do checks and balances and CO own it. And then yeah, I'm gonna hear Superman movie.
Tanner:Show me the money. Yeah, I'm ready for a Superman movie, too. I never watched the stuff with Henry Cavill. And I've seen clips he Yeah, he's amazing. He looks like Superman. Let's be real. But I understand why he's gone. To create a new universe. I understand. You can't have any holdouts. It just it feels half hard. It just feels half ass.
Corey:He was the crux of the DC EU, so I feel like not having him in the DCU is that very solid? This is a different universe statement. Like there is no Cavill Superman. Some people might be the same. We might have the same Aquaman or someone random like that. But no, no, no more cavil.
Tanner:Well, yeah, what else do we got coming up?
Corey:We got super girl woman of tomorrow. Could be interesting. Shouldn't be Yeah, it's about her time. Like before she goes from Krypton to Earth. So crazy shit happens to her in space.
Tanner:So that's cool to me. I mean, I always liked the Super Girl stories, especially in Justice League Unlimited, like just adding her into it was just a nice, like, Oh, yeah. Superman, Superman. And now we have super girl too. I'm totally okay with it. Do you guys remember years ago on Cartoon Network when they had crypto? His dog? Super dog
Corey:and the cat? streaky? Yeah, dude. Nobody remembers that show. I feel like I'm the only one.
Tanner:I actually kind of dug that show back in the day. Like that was a little outside of the demographic that they were shooting for when it came out. But it was fun. It was a fun show. It doesn't want to see a dog with superpowers.
Corey:Crypto was a fun show. And then they did DC Super pets with the rock playing crypto. They just did that one last year. That was okay. I was expecting more like Krypto the Superdog and it wasn't
Tanner:me I know it now if you can't if you can't capture that sense of nostalgia for me, it's not gonna go well.
Corey:So yeah, we got brave in the bold Superman legacies the lantern show. Super Girl Paradise Lost which is supposed to be a Wonder Woman prequel series. Not with gal Godot.
Tanner:I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. All right, if we're resetting the universe, you might as well reset it Galaga was great in the first movie, so let's but you might as well reset it.
Corey:They're saying it's going to be kind of like Game of Thrones, but on an all woman island so I'm kind of like, okay, okay, that could be some like serious drama and like good storytelling there if they do it, right. Yeah. And then we got Booster Gold movie. I don't know if you guys know anything about Booster Gold. Little bit
Tanner:not not at
Brooksie:all a little bit from pretty much just the Justice League Unlimited series, the cartoon. All I know is that he has a little floating Android. He's from the future, I guess goes back in time to, I guess try to get fame and money. Not to an extent similar to Plastic Man, but just he just seeks that type of attention.
Corey:Yeah, no, he's like some schlub from the future who's like, I'll take all my future tech to the past and be a hero. But he's still a schlub in the past, just with future tech. So it's kind of cool seeing him, run around romp around. It's a very James Gunn character.
Tanner:It's definitely seems like with the new slate of DC movies, they're going to try and do stuff that's different. They're not going to try to follow a true Marvel formula. There are gonna be like, No, there's different characters, different personalities, different types of movies, we're going to it's yes, it's going to be in the same universe. It's going to connect, but it's not going to be all that Marvel formula, which I'm which I'm 100% Okay, with, as we've seen, and I don't want to talk about Marvel, really. With phase four. It's starting to get lackluster. So if you can start a whole new universe of superheroes again with a bunch of different flavors in it, oh, I'm in I'm totally in.
Corey:That's the most important thing. Marvel should stay Marvel. Marvel's got some work to do right now. But DC the whole time it feels like they've been trying to catch up to and be Marvel. I think DC is now finally realized, like, No, we're going to be DC. We've got all this cool stuff. We're going to make it happen. We're going to make it popular. Who
Tanner:better to do it with and somebody that worked for Marvel for three movies. He was
Corey:in charge like Kevin Feige is like second man to do all of the cosmic stuff. And then he got fired because of some like 10 year old tweets and everything
Tanner:that happened we are not going no not touching any of that. Yeah, that happened. He's now with DC. Let's let it run. Do you think Dave Batista is like take me take me take me because that was his one of his big complaints was how they handled James Gunn. And he loved working with James and he said that so
Corey:he wants to be bein apparently and you know what if they cast a small enough guy to play Batman? Yeah
Brooksie:that would be a really cool concept to see you Dave Batista play has been Dave Bailey. Yeah, take this courageous,
Corey:I broke you. But he wants to go into like some serious acting. So I don't know if we're gonna see him in superhero stuff for a hot minute. But you know when they need a bane in their universe, the first call that James Gunn is making.
Brooksie:We need you for bein bein Teesta bein T I like that.
Tanner:You're gonna be bein it's gonna be bein T study, he's gonna be like, if we're gonna change that's gonna be Dave bein Teesta. And in the in universe, that's gonna be the name of it. I'll live with it. It's because it's funny. I'll live I like it.
Corey:Yeah, so after Booster Gold creature Commandos, which is an interesting one, this one's going to be animated. I guess the comic is based off of like, Frankenstein's monster, the werewolves and stuff. And they all just kind of become like, World War Two soldier heroes. Kind of like Marvel has the Howling Commandos Yep. Not the MCU version. But the actual comic version was like a bunch of old school monsters that just got Yeah, Tommy Guns bring
Tanner:it we bring bring the fun. Yeah, I mean, the fun. We need more fun. That would be different, a little different.
Corey:And they can come into live action at any point because the voice actors again will play live action roles. All right. All right. And then we got this one's a holdover from the DC EU Waller, the Amanda Waller series. Yep. Which, which ties heavily into the Suicide Squad. Suicide. Peacemaker Season Two has been pushed, unfortunately. But a lot of those characters are supposedly going to show up. What was that word? Unfortunately.
Tanner:Is that how you say that
Corey:sometimes? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Just like semonin Oh, comment? Aluminum. Nothing.
Tanner:You mean aluminium?
Corey:No, that sounds weird.
Brooksie:Aluminium. Oh,
Tanner:fuck. No, I'm really kind of stoked. Just because it's different. All of it's so different.
Corey:And then the other two are, there's a swamp thing movie, which Swamp Thing very popular DC character kind of like a side thing. And then the authority, which is basically like, evil Avengers. Okay, you know how an injustice there was the like Injustice League, it's essentially that I think it's going to be them starting off with here's what a bad version of the Justice League looks like. So when we eventually get a good version of the Justice League, we can compare and contrast and see what that looks like,
Tanner:dude, I'm all about this. I'm really about having more variety in my superhero movies. I've had this discussion with Cory and Brooksie. Before, not even on air, but I'm kind of just losing my interest in movies. In general, I streaming has made it so that I can watch a whole series and get a really good story and like, have nice transitions between episodes like, Okay, I could stop here, or I can keep going because of what the fuck just happened in that episode that I watched. And movies. It's just the pacing thing, it just doesn't fit right. And I wonder if that's because movies have gotten stale. But it's
Brooksie:possible. Yeah, that's possible. Because nowadays, like you said, you can pretty much just go on Hulu, HBO, Disney plus, etc. And just Okay, let's just watch it from home. That kind of thing.
Corey:Yeah, television is mind blowing right now. Like some of the best stories around are on TV. Yeah, yeah, TV streaming. You're
Tanner:really into the Last of Us. I haven't gotten to it yet.
Brooksie:Oh my god. Well, a little bit about our favorite actor Pedro Pascal.
Tanner:Oh, you mean daddy? You mean dad?
Corey:Listen,
Tanner:move over Ryan Reynolds. Pedro's in town.
Brooksie:Yeah, it's true.
Corey:My girlfriend is 100% aware that that is the case like she used to like the one thing was like if I ever met a celebrity and like had a chance the one person that I could like try and hook up with is Ryan Reynolds. Not that I ever would don't care not my type is now daddy Pascal papi Peskov. Oh my god.
Tanner:Oh, Bobby, Bobby Pascal.
Corey:I loved him as the like grizzled dude who's unfortunately, you know, according to him now in charge of like this small child that he has to protect Then he doesn't want to at first, but then they grow a bond. But now I love him as this like grizzled rough character who doesn't really want a family, but then it's put upon him. He's the same character in the mando as he is, and Last of Us.
Brooksie:So you need somebody to take care of your child and go on an adventure with them just called Pedro Pasco.
Tanner:I just watched a clip, and it was him and John fabro. They were like in the UK and doing an interview. And in the interview, they're bringing them like different foods from Chile and whatnot. And Pedro is just like, oh, this is amazing. Oh, my God. And John's like, what is this? He's like, this is the bread, blah, blah, blah. And it's just hilarious because he's just so into it like Brooksie. And I would be when we're outside on the grill, smoking meat or something like it's that's exactly the vibe. It's just like, I'm a dad, I'm into my food, like, this is what it is. And it was just fun to watch. This little clip that I saw, and I loved it.
Corey:If you guys seen the SNL skits, Pedro,
Brooksie:some of the Mario one I did see, that one was absolutely hilarious.
Corey:There's one where he goes into a coma, and he wakes up and he's got this like, la accent. He's like, Oh, my God, and he has amnesia and everything. It's so fucking funny. And now in a bunch of different interviews, it comes up all the time. So he was he was talking about that particular skit. And then that crossed into the mando. And he just said, this is the way and it's just the way he said it. This is the way he can do no wrong right now. He is
Tanner:tick tock. It's the scene from the incredible weight of massive talent are what him and Nick Cage Oh my God. Every, every time I see that. I'm just like, Oh, my God, this is amazing.
Corey:Yeah, he owns the internet right now.
Tanner:He does. The Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman rivalry is dead. I don't care. I don't care. Sorry, I don't fucking care anymore. Sorry, Ryan. Sorry.
Corey:You give me a movie with Pedro Pascal and Ryan Reynolds.
Tanner:With Hugh Jackman as a supporting role,
Corey:you don't even need Hugh Jackman in it. Not to say don't give Hugh Jackman work, but I'm just saying like those two, you got my money.
Tanner:It's gonna happen now. You know, it will.
Brooksie:Eventually
Corey:there's two hours of them sitting in a room having conversations together. I would pay 13. So instead of the
Tanner:two In Between Two Ferns that could be in between two dads
Corey:between two children that were escorting to because I think about Deadpool two when he's got Russell.
Brooksie:That's true. That's true. Yeah, yeah. And then like every transition is so like, it would zoom in on both of them. And then we'd go like Pedro, and then we'd go back to Ryan, but then Ryan would be wearing like the Deadpool outfit. And then we'd zoom back to Pedro and he'd be wearing the Mandalorian outfit. And they would go back and forth to each one of their characters
Corey:back to Ryan, and he's in the Green Lantern costume. All CG dots. Something like that couldn't afford an editor.
Brooksie:Sorry about that everyone is just, that would be hilarious.
Tanner:Pedro's taken over the internet. But I also really want to talk about Warner Brothers in general right now. They are really trying to clean up their mess that they made for the last decade of themselves, like big time. They're putting all this effort into the DC Universe again, and really, really rebranding that and recreating that. They're also now talking about revisits returning to the Lord of the Rings. And I'm so pumped, like, I was at first hyped for Rings of Power. I enjoyed it upon watching because I liked the visual spectacle. But after finishing the series, it fell so flat for me. Yeah, it was just meant it was just boring. I was really I was interested every week to week because I just there was a visual spectacle. It was stunning. But it just sucked. It was one of those things I went I was watching it with rose colored glasses. And I'm just like this is atrocious afterwards. And for them to now say for Warner Brothers to come out and say we are going back to the Lord of the Rings. I'm so pumped. There's going to be there's rumors of a Aragorn origin story for Wes when he was a ranger before the events of Lord of the Rings which there's a lot there. He's 80 something years old and returning the king so you have a whole a whole 80 years you can explore because we have to remember L Ron raised him and Rivendale Yeah, so they you can start you and the whole thing can start like okay it's first episode it's him and it could be all about him as a kid growing up in Rivendale without Ron and whatnot and then you can now fast for or that could even just be flashbacks told through flash bats and it's him out as a ranger in his 30s and 40s and whatnot, before going the events of Lord of the Rings. My only concern is at some point he has to run into Gandalf. And I just don't know if Ian McKellen can return to that role at his age.
Brooksie:I think maybe we'll hear a reference like name. The other thing too, is in The Hobbit, we know that Thranduil Legolas, his father does mention Aragorn. And that's been, I think, what 60 years?
Tanner:Yeah, Aragorn is would it be in? So
Brooksie:I mean, you still have that 60 year timeframe. And you know, you could have him do up to like the 20s. And then he goes home to Rivendale. And ease we then are introduced to Legolas. Now, we don't know if it could be Orlando Bloom. But it could still be a cool concept of them. Bond like at first not really liking each other and trusting each other. But then they grow closer and form that bond.
Tanner:Yeah, we'll see. And the other thing they've talked about as I think there was an animated project, thrown around a Lord of the Rings,
Brooksie:I I'm not sure about an animated project. There were three projects and
Tanner:something was it had to do with Rohan. They're
Corey:doing the writers of the row here. Yep. I can't remember if that's supposed to be live action or not.
Tanner:But that sounds interesting in the Tolkien universe is there's a lot we can explore with it. So for them to revisit it. I'm so happy.
Corey:We talked about this a little bit. I think in the group chat. You guys want them to go back and tell stories. I want them to start moving forward, move into the fourth age, tell some new stories.
Tanner:I want to chime in on this real quick Brooksie and I you can whether you agree with me or not? Yeah, no, that's fine. No, I've seen too many times where we go beyond the source material. We tell stories well beyond it when it's written down in many places. And why I've grown to like anime recently is because it doesn't go beyond the source material. And we have, I don't want to see writers to say, Okay, this would be cool. This would be cool. And it just doesn't feel like a Tolkien universe thing. Yeah, that's my concern. Now, Tolkien gave us three ages we can explore. And there's a time even before the first stage that we can explore. Yep, there's so then those are 1000s of years 1000s upon 1000s of years that we can just go through. That's kind of what I want to see. There's the First Age The battles with more golf and all of that, if anyone wants to make those stories happen, I will watch them in a second
Corey:here, but we know how that all ends. Yeah, I want to go forward. I want to see like, how these characters like Samwise Gamgee. Does he become a legend? Do they do they tell tales of Frodo in the ring? Like, does somebody find Bilbo his journey like there and back again, and read it and be like, Oh, my God, this sounds so fanciful, and then they get thrust into their own, you know, Middle Earth journey, the ends have rebuilt or replanted. Like, I don't want these big franchises to start getting scared of pushing forward.
Tanner:Well, they have to be they have to be with everything that's happened,
Corey:what have care when you tell those stories, but don't not tell them
Tanner:at all. Well, I just got a sour taste in my mouth.
Corey:I agree. Because there's the Star Wars sequels, Legend of Korra, there are certain things that maybe didn't meet the expectations of the original. That doesn't mean go back and keep doing prequels to me.
Brooksie:Well, the thing though, is that you got to treat, you got to treat Lord of the Rings as pretty much the end. That's That's it, because pretty much what happens in the fourth age is there's a lot of it's a very heavy peacetime. There's no real big bad anymore. Sauron was vanquished. All the orcs have pretty much disbanded and dispersed. They're gone. You have the entirety of the Silmarillion from pretty much creation, up until just about the events of The Hobbit to talk about that's a lot of stuff to talk about. There's an absurd amount of stories
Tanner:we're talking not even just 1000s of years 10s of 1000s of years because Tolkien and then that's also ambiguous, because Tolkien's Lord, his calendar is slightly ambiguous because he's gone back twice and changed it in his lifetime. So you're talking anywhere between 5040 1000 years.
Brooksie:You have for example, for example, you have the first or the last king of the Elven capital, I think is Gondolin. Yeah, falling to end him The King Fighting Golf mug, the first and most powerful captain of the Balrogs. They fought each other and die together. And the king vanquish that's the same sore that Gandalf has when he fell in about a door. Glamdring Yep. So that's one story that they could do easily. And that would be that's almost as big as the Battle of Middle Earth and Return of the King and all
Tanner:the fights with Morgoth would make the Battle of Middle Earth look, minutes look
Brooksie:like a child's play. These are intense fights.
Tanner:We're talking bout rock storming across fields and mowing down elves and men and everything. Yeah, that's
Brooksie:like it's it's just heavy loss for humanity. Elves dwarfs, anyone who's fighting for good. And Morgoth was a US Val our spirit using he was like, he was a god. He was pretty much a god. Yeah, he
Tanner:was a god. He was like a high god that rebelled against the highest god.
Corey:Look, as long as it's interesting, I'm okay with if they're going to tell a decent story. I'm just saying like, I'm so scared that these franchises seem scared to push forward. Like, yeah, there's really cool battles and stuff like that. But what about a story in peacetime of like, you know, what's normal life and the Shire? Like, I don't tell a story of like two hobbits that fall in love. You know, you
Tanner:haven't read the fucking books. So there's, there's enough information in those about that, that I don't care anymore.
Corey:They already tried to do Rings of Power telling this kind of story and it I literally fell asleep during the first episode. So it all power
Tanner:was set up from fat for failure from the beginning, because the Amazon bought the rights to the appendices of The Lord of The Return of the King novelization, they have only appendices to base their entire story they can tell off of thought they were absolutely fucked from the get. And then you get writers who don't really respect the source material and want to do something different. So you add those two things together, and you end up with the mess that we got.
Corey:Whereas if you just tell a new story in a different time period where there's no expectations, you have a whole new story, you can tell whatever story you want,
Tanner:but you still have to abide by the laws and mechanics of what the Creator did in that universe. Sure,
Corey:pay homage to them.
Tanner:No, no, no, no.
Corey:The fight that go into the fifth age, and somehow Sauron has returned.
Brooksie:Okay,
Tanner:this podcast is officially ending. We talked about how you're going to develop more content and then he said that and we're done. We're fucking done. All right, I'm just I This is bullshit. This is absolute bullshit. All I have to say is the fucking Witcher the what they did with the Witcher and blood origins and all this bullshit. Fuck this. Now you're wrong. You can go die on your hill of wrongness and just live there. Okay, I'm done.
Corey:You bring it up the Witcher that was shit too. You're not helping your case.
Brooksie:I'm the one who's right here
Corey:stirring the pot
Brooksie:Yeah, you're doing very well. You're doing a very you know
Tanner:fuck it. We're moving on.
Corey:Here Jackson is in talks to be doing stuff for whatever movies or series
Tanner:ruin this whole conversation. We want to go next point you fucking inbred.
Unknown:Somehow,
Corey:sorrow mon returned. Oh, you can never do that, though. Not without Christopher Lee.
Tanner:You're right anyhow. But continuing on with WB and what they've hit. The cameras aren't even on him and he's staring at the camera. Now it's on. But continuing with WB and their renewed vigor into all the IPs that their own they we just had possibly one of the biggest video game launches we've seen in the last 1015 years. And that was Hogwarts legacy. And I want to really talk about this for a minute. There was the whole movement to try and cancel the game because of JK Rowling's views. And to be frank. I didn't care because I love the wizarding world. She created a product that just encapsulated me from a young age very much the way Star Wars encapsulated all of us here. Yep. Her views. They suck. I understand that. But you cannot take that fantasy away from my inner child. You cannot take that fantasy away from me. That's part of who I am just dreaming. I mean, Christ. I've got ones up hanging up on the wall over there. We did a whole interview with him. orchard works, that magic was down in Connecticut, where that spun off of this story because of the owners relationship with their daughter, and they wanted a Harry Potter theme party. Like you can't take those things away from people. And there was so much outcry on social media about how you're a bigot, or you're not an ally and all this stuff. And that's just not fair to say, that's just not fair to say you can't take something away from people that they've grown up with and they've loved. And I went and bought the game. I bought it, I played it, and I fucking loved it. This the care that this studio took with creating this game and the just details they put into it directly from the books that outclass anything you saw in the movies was unbelievable. absolutely unbelievable. And I'm just, I don't know, how do you guys feel about all this? Like that? All of that, like that whole canceling it? And I just want to know
Brooksie:what you want me to go first?
Corey:If you got something?
Brooksie:Yeah, so pretty much. I think pretty much what it boils down to, if people are gonna get upset about one person versus something they've created, separate the Creator from the content. It's that simple. You don't have to like JK Rowling. Okay, that's fine because of her. Don't slander on what the universe that she's made. Don't do that. That would be no different. If, you know George Lucas said something like that back in like the 90s. Or Tolkien back when he was alive in the 30s. It just, to me, it's, it's all about just separating the Creator from the content. So I think it's best that you know, going forward, you don't have to like her. That's fine. But don't don't hate on people. For you know, liking her you the universe that she's made. Don't Don't, don't do that. Stop it. Stop it. That's not very nice. Stop and get help.
Tanner:Cory? What are your thoughts?
Corey:Because it's as simple as this. If you close your eyes, and somebody that you just met, start singing a song, and it's the most beautiful friggin song you've ever heard. You've never heard a thing like it. It's angelic, most beautiful voice. And, and then you open your eyes and you look at the person and they go, Oh, by the way, I don't like trans people. You cannot take away the fact that you heard a very beautiful song, you cannot take that experience away. You're not going to go follow this person who sang it on Instagram, follow their personal stuff and be like, I agree with their personal views. What you're gonna like the song, separate the art from the artists like what you guys said. Yeah, that's all that's all it
Tanner:is. Now, Cory This is gonna get I'm asking you because you're Jewish. And this was another topic that came up in this that he did just
Corey:out me on air, man. No.
Tanner:So I'm bringing this up because they said the game was anti semitic. And that JK Rowling portrayal of goblins is straight is just making fun of Jewish Jewish people and stuff like that. I need you. When I have the image pulled up over here. What the hell do you think when you see that? Are you offended when you see that? Do you think that's representing you?
Corey:Well, that actually kind of looks like my uncle Ronald, but and he is a dentist down in Fort Lauderdale. And he's very Jewish, but I might just be looking for similarities. No, I my admit, if goblins are anti semitic than I'm anti semitic, because I frickin love Harry Potter. I don't care. They're magic little creatures that are two feet tall, that play with money. Their ears are massive. And stop worrying about it doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't. People are just kind of like I don't know, putting their own insecurities into it or something. I don't know why the big deal. It sounds like
Brooksie:they're just picking random things that they've noticed throughout the years. And just being like, Oh, I've noticed this and I don't like that. I've noticed that and I don't like this and it's just like, again, separate separate the Creator from the content. You don't have to look at everything through such a small narrow glass.
Tanner:Well, despite all of the controversy surrounding the game, we also have to come back to this the game was created by Avalanche Studios and Warner Brothers games. It was not created by JK Rowling. She had very Yes, she gets royalties from it. But guess what? She gets royalties still from every copy of Harry Potter that's ever sold every Time that Harry Potter is streaming rights are used on a TV service or streaming or whatnot for every ticket that goes to Universal Studios, are we boycotting all of these things? No, we're not. It like, what this was a hill you chose to die on. And quite frankly, the boycott failed. The numbers prove that it failed. The game, the experience I had playing the game was awesome.
Corey:That's what matters. That's the thing that matters the most was it fun,
Tanner:it was so much fun. But the boycott also propelled the numbers to because there's always those people that when you take a stance against something that people enjoy, they're like, Well, I'm just gonna do it even harder. Now I hit my face on the mic. Sorry, guys. But just to show that in the first two weeks that the game was released it it was the top of the okay before even released, it was the top of the steam charts ever like even for pre orders pre orders only in a topped out the charts. The game hadn't even released yet. And we're talking for weeks a set number one, I watched it on my Steam account. After that, it had a three day period, if you bought the deluxe edition where you had early access, and in that time, it was the number one streaming single player game of all time on Twitch. That's insane to me. And then all the numbers came out two weeks after release. And it sold 50% more copies in Europe in Japan than Elden ring and Elden ring was a massive relief. It was 20 million
Brooksie:from software drop 20 million tarnished, have played Elden ring. So a lot of people
Tanner:that's a lot of people. And in the first two weeks, Hogwarts legacy has sold 50% more copies and Elden ring in those
Brooksie:markets and give it time. Eventually that game will go on sale. People are waiting for that game to go on sale. They will buy it that's even more people to play.
Tanner:The official numbers that they sold. It was 12 million copies. copies were sold in two weeks. And that doesn't include the people who pre ordered for switch and last gen consoles. Right? Present. It doesn't it 12 million copies and that equates to $850 million in sales in two weeks. To put that in perspective, the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two is Warner Brothers highest grossing movie in that same amount of time period, and that they only did 250 million. It went on to do a global box office is over a billion dollars a $1.3 billion dollars. That's insane. But in two weeks, Harry Hogwarts legacy has had almost started passing that it passed it into in the two weeks sales. So it's just wild to me. And because of how well it did. Warner Brothers is like we are revisiting the hog the Harry Potter and wizarding world franchises. We are totally revisiting it. They are now saying that they are going to do a TV series based off the game which I hope they really don't follow through on because as much as I love the game, I have my gripes and the story writing is one of them. But they're going to make a whole franchise of games like this because of how well it did. And I am so pumped for that it is my type of game through and through.
Corey:They've already confirmed Hogwarts legacy to Yes, yes. And they will have Quidditch
Brooksie:and they even have teased the fact that they are planning to add a multiplayer for the first game.
Tanner:Well, modders are already trying to take care of that for them.
Brooksie:But even so you have people out there adding more to the game as is yeah,
Tanner:there's a lightsaber mod for your one. So you can turn it into a lightsaber. That's pretty cool.
Corey:That's all one way to turn the one into a Glock.
Tanner:Yeah, yeah. modders modders. Go ham. It's not it's not even funny. But it's just again, it's such a cultural thing. As much as you want to hate on JK Rowling, what she created is still very much seated in our culture. It is, it's it, you're not going to beat it.
Corey:And it's going to be it's more than just that one person. It's the entire dev team. Everyone who worked on that game deserves recognition. Yep. And appreciation.
Tanner:Yeah, you guys unfortunately haven't played it yet.
Brooksie:No, not yet. But I will eventually.
Corey:Thanks for reminding me. I want to play it so bad. No, but I did find Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for PC on eBay. So I think I'll get that just to hold me over for the next three months. While I wait for it to hit PS five.
Tanner:Yeah. Yeah, cuz it got pushed back again. And that's just because these games are getting so big. These old consoles can't handle them anymore.
Corey:Just fine, which is fine. That happens.
Tanner:So It's just Warner Brothers in general, I think is really realizing that we own amazing IPs. We need to utilize them in the best way possible. Yeah. And I think with Marvel stuttering a little bit. They're in the perfect position to do that. Agreed. Star Wars stuttered. We can't admit that it did stutter. And so and Marvel is now stuttering.
Brooksie:I will say this, I forgot to send you guys this tweet. But the I want to say I think it was the director who released the solo movie, realize that they were a little aggressive with the release of that movie. And they're going to try to go back to the drawing board as it were, as of as they said,
Tanner:I think Star Wars is a topic for another time. Agreed.
Brooksie:But I've just I just wanted to state that they've noticed a decline as well and they're going to try to rework their media,
Corey:you know, damn, well, that's why they brought Bob Iger back, Bob Iger. Yeah. Star Wars and Marvel. We're just getting a little out there.
Tanner:Yep. Yep. They needed someone to write the ship. And we will talk
Corey:about it at some point later. But Star Wars I will say right now top of their game, moving on,
Tanner:moving on. But all in all, guys. Warner Brothers is coming back. They're coming out with a vengeance. They're like, we're done. We're done being second fiddle to Disney in there. Now, they realistically the way I look at it is Disney has Marvel Warner Brothers has the DC Universe. Disney has Star Wars with Warner Brothers has Harry Potter, they have the tools to take those things and go head to head with them. They just now need to utilize them.
Corey:And the nifty thing about web is they're constantly making new IP. Always there's new things happening on there.
Tanner:Yeah, yeah, the bar none. HBO max is the top quality production studio. Organization for streaming. They have the best production, hands down consistency, storytelling, it's always there. It's always there. Even their documentaries when they're slower, or interesting. So Warner Brothers and discovery one or whatever it's called now. I don't know. They're on it. They are on it.
Brooksie:Yep. Yep, I agree. And I'm really looking forward to what they release in the future for their media
Corey:team specifically. As of recording right now. Tomorrow when The Last of Us season one finale comes out. That has been doing amazing viewership. Like it almost doubles every episode.
Tanner:Good. Good. It shows you put quality products out there. They will come
Brooksie:and that's what's great about this is this is our want to say the first time that I have watched a video game adaptation on the you know, on a stream service, and have enjoyed it thoroughly. is good.
Tanner:All right, I think I think that's where we gotta leave it, guys. So thanks for tuning in this week, guys, to another episode of Dorkside Nexus net and bla bla bla bla bla. Think that's what it is. Oh, I thought we were Dorkside Newt since
Corey:Welcome to dank stuff taxes. That's my next
Tanner:price. All right, guys. Well, you've been fantastic. As always, my name is Tanner.
Corey:My name is Cory and
Brooksie:my name is Brooksie
Corey:stay hydrated out there. And make sure to watch The Last of Us on HBO Max, starring Poppy Pascoe
Brooksie:wear a coat. It's cold out there. And we'll see you
Corey:in the next is endure and survive.
