FF9 Nostalgia, Superhero Chaos, & CinemaCon Spidey! | The BatmanDrew Podcast

This week on the pod, we are diving deep into some absolute heavyweights. From the golden age of JRPGs to the most unhinged superhero drama on TV, we’ve got a lot to unpack.   ​In This Episode: ​Final Fantasy IX (Disc 1 Review): I’m finally back in Alexandria! We’re breaking down the legendary opening act, the "play within a play," and why the ending of Disc 1 (Beatrix, I’m looking at you) still hits just as hard in 2026.   ​Daredevil: Born Again (S2, Ep 1-4): The Man Without Fear is back, and the gloves are officially off. We’re discussing the return of the Netflix-era grit and that intense dynamic between Matt and Bullseye.   ​The Boys (S5, Ep 1-2): We are in the endgame now. Reacting to the final season’s explosive premiere—Homelander’s mental state, Butcher’s new V-powers, and that insane opening sequence.   ​Granblue Fantasy: Relink: My thoughts on this "completely random" find. If you’re looking for a flashy, snappy action-RPG that respects your time, you need to hear about this one.   ​CinemaCon 2026 – Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Sony dropped the new posters and a synopsis for the next Tom Holland chapter! We’re breaking down the "Brand New Day" vibe and what Peter Parker’s "surprising physical evolution" could mean.   Question of the Week: Which trailer from CinemaCon has you the most hyped? And for the FF fans—is Vivi the greatest character in the franchise? Let me know in the comments!   Also, thank you for watching or listening to my content! I really do appreciate your support.
