In our favorite stories, the superheroes save the day and there's rarely any negative consequences. But is this rosy vision of a world with superheroes optimism run amok? In this episode, Rachel, Colleen, Matt, and Erin join Josh to ask if society would benefit from real-life superheroes. We ponder how the justice system could cope with Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, if supervillains are an inherent problem where superheroes roam, and what day-to-day jobs superheroes would fill. After listening, you too will want to buy an ice cream bar from Mr. Freeze.

Welcome back to BNQ! Episode 4 takes a "serious" look at the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker. In his various incarnations on the page and the screen, the Joker has captured our imagination as he wrought havoc on Gotham City. But here at BNQ it is not enough to have a character study; we must ask a question! Is the Joker the best villain in all of DC Comics? We divide the discussion into two parts-the characteristics of the Joker and a comparison with other iconic DC villains. Come with us and we dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

Welcome to the first episode of BNQ: Big Nerdy Questions! In this episode we answer which fictional universe we'd most to live in. We discuss Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and a few other universes. There's no way we could get every universe into one episode, so we'll revisit this topic again at a later date.
