Believe it or not, it's been 10 years since Batman V Superman was released. Way back in 2016, The WB presented us with a TV special called " DC Films: Dawn of the Justice League". In this special, viewers were given the roadmap to what was supposed to be the DCEU, DC's cinematic universe answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, 10 years later, we can see how quickly that plan was changed and how little of those plans ever came to be. While it may seem odd to look back at some random TV special from 10 years ago, this actually serves as a precursor to a project we will be presenting later this year. Check out this episode for some insightful looks into yesteryear, and for a glimpse into the future of The Rock Nerd Radio Show.
