Bruce and Larry go in-depth on this highly anticipated film. What was great about the movie? What did they hate?  Who is the real hero? What about Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash? Does this movie establish a DC Movie Universe to rival that of Marvel?  Find out the answers to those questions and more in Episode 130 of the Media Montage Podcast!
