About Now Playing Podcast Presents: The DC Comics Movies Retrospective Series

Truth. Justice. Reboots. Now Playing Podcast covers the entire cinematic sprawl of DC and DC-adjacent comic book movies, from Richard Donner’s Superman and Tim Burton’s Batman through the Nolan trilogy, and the Snyder and Gunn eras. But it doesn’t stop at the headliners. Forgotten TV movies, prestige adaptations from Vertigo, gritty crime dramas, animated theatricals, oddball misfires, cult curiosities, and the occasional talking super-pet. Heroes. Antiheroes. Supervillains. And more than a few questionable studio decisions. The Now Playing Podcast crew examine the full DC spectrum, from billion-dollar tentpoles to projects people swear never happened, tracking how one comic publisher’s characters have been reinvented, rebooted, and reinterpreted for generations of moviegoers.

Clayface

Published 27 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Darkman, essentially. Yeah. If only it were a remake of Darkman, this is the sequence to tell us what that would look like. And I would like it more. And I went with Darkman's insanity and revenge. Just give me a line of, oh, the nanobites are affecting your brain. Something like that to tell me why he become a homicidal. And what I would argue is a better movie, a movie about character would walk you through about identity and how someone who was sweet and wanted to please mama became his killer father. That's the movie I wish I was watching. And that's the movie I believe Mike Flanagan probably wrote and could have made. […]
