Issue 554: Josh Brolin Might be Hal Jordan & The Problems of Epic TV Series

Comicast

On today's issue of Comicast the guys discuss the possibility of Josh Brolin playing Hal Jordan in the new DCU Green Lantern series, is he too old or could it make sense for the show with it's reported Training Day/True Detective inspirations? The guys also discuss the premiere of Rings of Power S2, a possible return for Ian McKellan's Gandalf, the problems of epic TV storytelling (you know having to wait 2 or more years between seasons), Jon Watts' comments on leaving Spider-Man 4/Fantastic Four, and the Penguin showrunners comments on why Battinson will not appear in the series. Plus, we bid Jong farewell for now as he goes on Comicast Paternity Leave.
