Darren and Paul bring the first episode of 2016! It’s time for Chapter 2 of The Universo Project. Now that Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainy and Cham have been freed of their mental shackles, where do they go from here? Also, how are the other teams faring in their missions?
Episode 376 – Tales of the Reservists: The Batman and Robin of Kandor
Paul takes a look at the first appearance of Nightwing and Flamebird from Superman 158, January 1963, in a story by Legion favourites Edmond Hamilton and Curt Swan. Learn how Superman and Jimmy Olsen became the Batman and Robin of Kandor, and how New Krypton wasn’t the first story to deal with the idea of a large population of superpowered Kryptonians on Earth. They just did it longer… a LOT longer!
Episode 375 – Christmas in the 30th Century
Darren and Paul celebrate a Very Subs Christmas by providing the commentary nobody ever wanted for the Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special. (Join in the fun with us by going here: Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special ).

Episode 372 – Superboy Meets Heroes from the Future: Superboy Meets Superman
Paul flies solo this week, while the rest of the Subs recover from turkey comas. This week, we look at a story that predates the Legion (but really, don’t they all?) from Superboy #47, March 1956. Superboy accidentally travels to the future, and meets his adult self! Hilarity ensues!
