It is Christmas Eve in Gotham and lots of things are stirring, especially for a little boy and his cat. Damien Wayne is training to protect the city just like his father. Batman has worked so hard that now Gotham is the safest place to live. However, after years of silence the bat phone rings out across the house causing The Dark Knight to have to leave his family on the holiday eve. Damien tricks Alfred into leaving the house as well so that he can put his newly acquired utility belt to the test. Soon after Alfred leaves, burglars enter Wayne Manor and crime fighting becomes all too real for our little Batman. It turns out Joker is back with Penguin, Ivy and more. His goal is to steal Christmas from the citizens of Gotham. Now that Batman is on a wild goose chase in the Arctic it is up to Damien to save the city.

Kara was not the first superhero The Green Butterfly met in the Arrowverse but she is the character that stole my heart. She is a little shy and awkward. She has a will of steel. She never gives up once she sets her mind to something. Most of all she never forgets her family and friends. Now I have something else to thank Supergirl for. She has brought some of my dearest friends into my life. She is the reason Dive into DC Podcast exists and I am here talking to you today.

Lord Morpheus is gone and the new Dream of the Endless must figure out how to pick up the pieces. Just yesterday he was baby Daniel, so it is not surprising that he is finding this task a bit daunting. Luckily, those closest to Morpheus are here to guide him along the way. It was very heartwarming to see how many returned to the dreaming to bid farewell to Morpheus. The Dreaming will live on because of the sacrifice of its former king! As the Sandman series draws to a beautiful close, we are given a bonus story. This is a story that revolves around the character of Death and what happens on her day off.

Morpheus must stay in the Dreaming. If he does, the Kindly Ones can't come for him. Lucienne has a long list of tasks to occupy the Dream King's time. Meanwhile in the waking world Lyta is mourning her son alone when Hettie the mysterious dog walker invites Lyta to her home. She tells the grieving mother that she can avenge her son by contacting her ancestors. Elsewhere in the city Joanna Constantine and the reborn Corinthian are looking for Daniel, unaware of the complex story that Loki and Puck have woven to hide the child. Daniel himself has been reborn from the fire that Loki cast him into. So many things going on at once in this set of episodes. In Faerie,Queen Titania uses Nula's necklace to lure Morpheus out of the safety of his realm. In his absence Lyta brings death to the dreaming. It is time for the Dream King to pay for what he has done! Please join The Silver Vox and Green Butterfly as we discuss two action packed episodes of The Sandman season two. Are you ready?

Get your feedback to us by November 20 to be included in the show!

Can Morpheus outrun his fate?  I don’t think he wants to. After an endless life he wanted to do something to help his son, even if doing so marked him for death.  As we near the end of this series I feel like the Dream King is really changing. He is making plans for who will take care of his realm after he is gone. Which is a stark contrast to his brother Destruction, who was happy to abandon his realm and responsibilities. Morpheus has named Daniel Hall his successor, however, he is a very small baby whose mother is not going to be ok with this.  Remember when I said we are going to have to be on the lookout for that favor Loki promised to Dream? Well, the time has come to cash in that favor. Can this infamous trickster be trusted at this moment?   Please join The Silver Vox and, your eye in the sky, Green Butterfly as we discuss this and so much more in these two packed episodes of The Sandman: Season 2, Episodes 7-8!

In the next chapter of The Sandman we find a very remorseful Morpheus. Innocent people have died, he has broken his sister’s heart and they are no closer to finding Destruction. In these episodes we are treated to the hauntingly sad story of Orpheus the son of the Dream Lord. We dive deep into Greek mythology. Can reuniting father and son be the key to finding the prodigal brother?  Morpheus has agreed to continue his quest with Delirium as long as no other mortals are harmed. Will they succeed? Can Morpheus grant his son an eternal favor? What will be his fate if he does?

As we begin episode three, Morpheus still needs to decide who will get the key!  Many have given their reasons, who will he choose? The fairy’s want Hell to stay closed but then where would all the Demons go? He can’t leave them to roam Earth, nor can he make their king the ruler of that fiery place because he cannot be trusted. It is for this reason that Azazel is not chosen though he had the best bargaining chip, offering Nada’s freedom. The Dream King is smart and uses the rules of protection to his advantage. He can’t hurt the Azazel during this truce but that means the demon can’t hurt Nada either. In a perilous moment it looks as though Morpheus will be consumed by Azazel, but he saves Nada from within the monster and manages to capture the little devil in a small glass sphere. Morpheus tries to speak to Nada, but it doesn’t go well because there is centuries of pain between them and she leaves to go to the waking world. The key to Hell is given to the angels because Heaven cannot exist without its opposite and they were the only ones who did not give a reason why they should be chosen. Now that the matter of the key is settled Morpheus must move on to his next mission. He shall enter the waking world to find his prodigal brother.

Lord Morpheus is rebuilding the Dreaming. Many things are left to repair from his hundred-year absence. Therefore, he hardly has time for a family meeting, but when Destiny calls it is best to answer and find what news he has to share with his siblings.  Irritated Morpheus leaves early looking to check on a few things before he descends into hell. In a beautiful flashback sequence, we meet Nada, a woman that is now trapped in hell forever and Morpheus blames himself. After many centuries Morpheus is going on a mission to this fiery place to set her free. Upon his arrival he finds Lucifer Morningstar ready to retire. She has already sent all the residents of hell elsewhere, which has me worried. She is looking to pass the responsibility of this realm on. This is not an honor for Dream but a burden. Before long people and demons are lining up at his door to plead their case for why they should be given the key to Hell.  So, if you are ready come with us as The Silver Vox and Green Butterfly dive back into the Dreaming to begin our discussion on The Sandman season two!

After the failure at the box office of Batman and Robin it looked like the popularity of Batman had died. It would take nearly ten years and a whole new team to revive him. Would plunging the Caped Crusader into darkness be the key to success?  Christopher Nolan was tasked with the job of bringing this character to life for a whole new generation.  This is how The Dark Knight trilogy was born and became some of the highest grossing films in history. However, when I think about these movies the character that occupies my mind most is the Joker that will never be forgotten.

The world was in love with the Caped Crusader! Batman ‘89 had catapulted this character off the comic pages onto the movie screen, and into peoples’ hearts.  There was immense pressure on the team in charge of continuing the story.  Who do you cast in the iconic villain roles?  How do you construct a film to please comic readers but also make sure it is enjoyable to kids who will ultimately buy the toys?  Will they give Sean Young another chance to have a starring role?  It is clear, she would stop at nothing to have another chance to be a part of this universe.

The Monitor intervenes even though he is not supposed to.   He has also been collecting heroes to help stave off the universe’s impending doom.
