Black Adam for Dummies is here! Spider-Dan joins us to prepare everyone for the newest DC film to answer the question 'who is Black Adam?'

First appearing in 1945 as a creation of Otto Binder and C.C. Beck for Fawcett comics, today's character took a slightly strange route to be the star of a DC movie. Dan gives us an insight into his creation, background and the changes he's had along the way. We also get the crystal ball out as Dan looks at what we may be looking to expect from a movie franchise.
Whether you're going to watch the film or just want to know what people are talking about, this is the episode for you.

Who on earth is Dick Grayson? In an attempt to answer this very question, I'm joined by the wonderful Heath Fodor!

Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, Dick first appeared in comic books in April 1940, Detective Comics #38.
He quickly became the very first Robin, assisting Batman in his crime-fighting adventures.

As such, he's had many a transformation and journey, many of which we talk about in this episode.
