Our hosts return to the Podtower to dive into Part 1 of In Blackest Night.

Alex and Will discuss this courtroom drama in space and are surprised by how calm Green Lantern seems after being accused of destroying a planet with six billion inhabitants. They also talk about the debut of the Manhunters, the surprising actor behind the voice of their leader, and the many influences woven throughout the episode. From Steve Englehart’s original comic story to Superman: The Movie, there are plenty of references and nods to uncover.

Our hosts also speculate about what a detective series on Hawkgirl’s homeworld might look like, question whether Green Lantern would have been left naked in the street after surrendering his ring, and Martian Manhunter calls a Phone Sex Hotline.
