BCSC IS A MEMBER OF TALKBOMB.COM! This week on #BCSC, buckle in, because Krissy and Willy are not only reviewing Frank Miller's iconic, game-changing comic book The Dark Knight Returns, but Zack Snyder's brand new movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice! This might be the most action packed episode of Book Club Shmook Club of all time. We spend about an hour and a half reviewing the story of an older Bruce Wayne becoming Batman for the first time in a decade. He battles out of control mutant youths, his old nemesis The Joker (very weird version of him), before tackling Superman. Literally. If you're hear just for our thoughts on Batman V Superman, you won't be disappointed. Starting at about 1:26:00 into the show, hear the conversation we had literally minutes after leaving the theater. We avoid spoilers at first, but after about 5 minutes, we kick into high gear and discuss every plot point! Wow. Enjoy the show, gang!  BCSC@TalkBomb.com! @TalkBomb! @KrissyPajamas! @WillRogers2000!
