Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker discussion (45:31)
Wait, didn’t we talked about Gila (2012)? What’s going on here? Did I edit this?
And we are BACK, with another thrilling adventure of BAT SIGNALS. Today we are digging up an ancient creature from our nearly forgotten past; that’s right! Superman! I know we usually cover batman episodes on this mid-month episode, but since Da Boss had us cover a big Batman movie for the end of the month I figured we could gives Supes some love.
Joining me today are the immensely cool, talented, and handsome folk from the No Gods pod! Check out their work here: https://twitter.com/NoGodsPod and https://nogodsnomonsters.podbean.com/
See you all on the NEXT BAT SIGNALS where we will be covering Killer Croc: Killer, or Lover? Find out next time!
Look! Up in the sky! Is that a plane? Is it Superman!? No! It’s a disembodied arm giving us the bird! That’s right Comicheads, today we are finally taking a peak at the blood soaked remains of The Suicide Squad and the FAN FAVORITE: The Detachable Kid! Will we make it out of this one alive? Only if “Da Boss” lets us keep our heads!

One year after Catnapped CAPTURED our hearts, another anime was dropped into the hell pit know as “The Fox Box”, and this one was… actually one that me and my childhood best friend and life long anime companion Nick never saw. Due to an unfortunate time slot, we were already outside and running around the forest with water guns by the time those SWEET Casio tunes would kick off the show’s intro. So sit back and enjoy the show, as me and my best friend talk about this anime!
Special Thanks to Chris Degl (https://twitter.com/DEGL_TOONS) for recommending this classic!

In 1995 the world was introduced to the greatest family adventure film to ever be animated. The movie had it all, action, a cool vehicle, and a rockin’ soundtrack that defined a generation. All while holding a dramatic story about family at its core… But we aren’t talking about a Goofy Movie today, instead we are talking about Catnapped! Another favorite of mine! So sit back and enjoy the show, before Kyle and I lose all our marbles!

We are so lucky to have a special visitor who has mastered the ancient art of writing a novel, Raffael Coronelli! Give him a ring on his twitter account, why don’t you.

News (12:56)
Recent Releases:
Everything Everywhere All At Once: Michelle Yeoh stars as an aging Chinese immigrant in this high flying kung fu drama that has literally everything I want from a film!
Upcoming Releases:
Ultraman Decker: Premiering July 9th, What’s better than dudes in suits judo-ing dudes in other suits? Not much! Set a few years after Trigger, this is another in the series of Ultraman soft-remakes, this time of Ultraman Dyna. Will this Ultra have the GUTS to save the world? We’ll have to find out!
The Northman: Released April 22, Buff vikings fighting naked with battle axes is martial arts too! This movie is coming out later this month and looks rad as hell, it gets a recommendation from me!
Re-releases:
The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter (from Arrow): Gordon Liu , the warrior-turned-monk must renounce his peaceful ideals in order to mount a rescue mission and avenge his family.
One-Armed Boxer (Arrow): Yu Tian Long (Wang) is the best fighter to come out of his local martial arts school, until a bad dude roles into town and UNARMS him. Literally! But don’t worry, he has a magical elixer that will help him get revenge!
Come Drink with Me (also from Arrow): When the Governor’s son is taken hostage it’s up to the badass swordslady Golden Swallow to ensure the save the day. Will her drunken companion help her, or is he secretly besties with the kidnappers!?
The Shaolin Plot (from Eureka Entertainment): Chen Hsing Is on a quest to master all of the worlds martial arts, and the Wu Tang Clan must stop him! No, not the band!
Rumors:
A possible sequel in the works for Netflix's "The Night Comes For Us (2018)". It seems to be focusing on Julie Estelle's character, the Black Widow-esque "OPERATOR". This rumore stems from the director, Timo Tjahjanto, posting new artwork of the character.
Challenge of the Masters discussion (28:04)
Gordon Liu, a cast favorite, is back at it! In this more “down to earth” kung fu movie we get to see him grow from a snot nosed dork, to a Pao Professional! Join us as we master our staff skills and learn the ultimate technique: Kindness!
