This is not a surprising match up. These are two of the fabled DC Trinity, the other of which is already in the finals. Now, only one of these two, the number five seed Superman and the number seven seed, Wonder Woman, will compete to see who reigns supreme! Superman wins 7 to 5 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Just to keep track, here’s the current standings in the DC Bracket: Next week, the second semi final indie match up where in I will in fact be able to find images of them together. Maybe almost as many as Superman and Wonder...

Typically, I enjoy searching out the images I use for these posts. Looking up to see if my favorite artist has taken on one or both of characters doing battle this week. Like this week’s battle, the number three seed Batgirl: taking on the number twelve seed, Supergirl: Notice I’m using the pics I used before. Have you ever tried to Bing two female superheroes together? Even with the safe search turned on? Just embarrassing… Batgirl wins, 15 to 10 Here’s the least salacious photo I could find of the two together: Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! And just to get you ready, here’s the current standings on the DC side of things. Next week, more ladies squaring off from the indie bracket. And I if find a picture of them together, like the ones I found today, I may have to quit...

Happy Thanksgiving, Holidays, Shopping whatever you are doing this weekend. Hopefully listening to our latest episode. Maybe you already did and were brought here by that, so let’s get right to it! The Justice Society of America. The team that started it all. The very first time a group of heroes banded together to face a greater evil. Without them, there would be no Justice League, no Avengers, no Guardians of the Galaxy. Ok, maybe that last one is a stretch. The JSA (more recent shorthand for the team) of late has been the legacy team where the kids or ancestors of the original group are part of the team or people carrying on the mantle of past heroes, making the Society fell more like a family than any other team. Due to DC wonky time line (Todd would say “Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey”) pretty much everyone has been a member of the Justice Society of America. So the question this week, who is your favorite member ever of the Justice Society? Whomever it is, just tweet at us with the hashtag #LBHQuery or if you need more than 140 characters, tell us below and we’ll talk about it all on next week’s...

Weekly Question 06/25/14 #LBHQuery...
posted by Joe
This week’s question involves possibly the most popular comic book character, the most recognizable of them all: BATMAN! Batman has been around for 75 years (big celebration coming from DC Comics next month) and outside of some film serials from the 40’s, for the longest time, the above visage of Adam West as the Caped Crusader was all most people knew of Batman. All that changed this week 25 years ago. Perhaps inspired by Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, the first outside of comics media appearance of Batman starred Michael Keaton as the aforementioned Dark Knight and the scene stealing performance by Jack Nicholson as the Joker. From there, the blitz began. Batman was EVERYWHERE! Toys, cups, shirts, even haircuts and the roll has not stopped since. Batman has gone onto star in multiple movies and animated series as well. Some would argue that Batman’s appearances in the recent “Arkham” video games is his most successful and popular portrayal. But our question to you, gentle listener/reader, is OUTSIDE of comics, what is your favorite take on Batman in popular media? Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery. Don’t like or have Twitter? Need more room to explain your choice? Just leave a comment on this post! We’ll compile up all the answers and talk about them on next week’s...
Weekly Question 06/18/14 #LBHQuery...

As will be the procedure going forward, all our weekly question will not be contained to the show or Twitter! We’re bringing it to the site! Since the inception of Green Lantern, that was all there was. Sure, when things changed from the Golden Age to the Silver Age and from Alan Scott to Hal Jordan, they added thousands of new Lanterns, but all just one color: Green. Then in 2006, that all changed: After Sinestro was brought back by Geoff Johns as the main villain in Green Lantern’s universe, a second color Corps was added, Yellow in the widely successful Sinestro Corps War event. Then another, and another and so on. There was a Corps and rings for every color on the spectrum. Then we added the Black and White Lantern Corps with events to go along with them. All of these Corps had spanning rosters, tons of merchandising and cameos by the biggest and brightest in the DC Universe. This concept was so popular, when DC rebooted their entire line in 2011 with the New 52, outside of Batman, Green Lantern was the other property relatively unchanged. And that’s the question to you: Who is your favorite ring bearer? Is it cookie cutter Hal as a Green Lantern? Is it the above the three panels when Batman was a member of the Sinestro Corps?

Since many of you may be coming to the show (and the site) for the first time, we decided to post our weekly question on the site. NOT because Todd & Leonard forgot to mention it during the show. One of the news topics we discussed on this week’s episode was the rumors from the DIRT SHEETZ about Marvel cancelling Fantastic Four in preparation for the pending movie reboot from Fox. To me, this is crazy! One of the original Marvel superhero books, no longer being published? Only guest appearances in other books? Is this something that could happen? Is this something that should happen? And that’s the question to you: is there a property, whether it be Marvel, DC, Dark Horse or other, that could stop being published in their own books? Is it due to over exposure? Have they overstayed their welcome? Or do they just rub you the wrong way? Just tweet us with your answer using the hash tag #LBHQuery (thanks David Kincannon!). Don’t like or have Twitter? Need more room to explain your choice? Just leave a comment on this post! We’ll compile up all the answers and talk about them on next week’s...
