Justice League Heroes with Gavin Mevius (The Q Division, The Mixed Reviews)
Somewhere in the mid-2000s, a group of developers looked at the Justice League and said, “What if we made a game where all your favorite heroes team up… and then we just kinda vibed with that idea instead of sticking to any specific comic storyline?” Which kind of works actually because they got Dwayne McDuffie to write it but that’s not the point. So anyway, Justice League Heroes burst onto the scene for PS2, Xbox, PSP, and Nintendo DS like a Watchtower alarm that nobody remembers installing.
This week on Play Comics, we grab our capes, charge up our vaguely canon-adjacent superpowers, and dive into a game that absolutely has Batman, Superman, and friends… ummm, friends are definitely there I promise and sometimes they have to be there because of contractual obligations. And sometimes even the best version of those friends if you’re lucky and the best version of that hero had been invented already.
Joining the adventure is Gavin Mevius from The Mixed Reviews and The Q Division, bringing along just the right blend of insight, chaos, and “wait, was that ever a comic plot?” energy to help us make sense of it all.
So get ready for teamwork, button mashing, and a Justice League game that is just kind of meh, especially considering the story that it had to work with.
Learn such things as:
- When you can have Justice League adventures without Batman or Superman
- Why you don’t need a 100% comic plot line to have a good comic plot line.
- What the world was like before micro transactions got involved with everything
- And so much more!
You can find Gavin on BlueSky @shhhitsgavin, Instagram @gavinmev, and of course on his podcasts The Mixed Reviews (a monthly film review show taking a deep dive into a subject, actor, director, or something else along those lines) and The Q Division (a monthly deep dive into James Bond).
If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

Gotham City was rife with criminality. Residents were grateful for having the #DynamicDuo in keeping the villains and their henchmen in check with a punchup.

Welcome to another episode of Play Comics, where we dive into the pixelated world of superheroes and their digital escapades! This week, we’re strapping on our capes and booting up our Game Boy Advances to tackle Justice League: Injustice for All. Based on the beloved Justice League Unlimited cartoon, this game lets you step into the boots of your favorite heroes, even if the gameplay sometimes feels like it’s stuck in the Phantom Zone.
Joining us for this heroic journey is the illustrious AJ Malacarne from Gamma Head Press. Known for their penchant for the absurd and psychedelic storytelling, AJ brings a unique perspective to our discussion. Will they find the game as thrilling as a battle with Darkseid, or as perplexing as The Riddler’s latest scheme? Tune in to find out!
So grab your Batarang, call in your sidekicks, and prepare for a supercharged episode that promises more twists and turns than a Luthor-led plot. Let’s see if Injustice for All can truly do justice to the Justice League!
Learn such things as:
- How can you create a show where off screen characters are treated as if they actually exist all the time?
- How does the platform a game is going on impact the development and design of that game?
- Which characters really need to show up in new Justice League experiences?
- And so much more!
You can find AJ on Twitter @AJMalacarne, BlueSky @ajmalacarne, Instagram @aj_malacarne, Threads @aj_malacarne, and of course their newsletter Gamma Head Press.

12yo: I mean #Superman would win, it’s obvious.
Me: Yes, but #Batman is, as a matter of convention, always able to beat Supes.
8yo: Yeah but they’re not the strongest DC characters.
Me: Oh yeah? #WonderWoman? #MartianManhunter?
8yo: Alfred

I love cosplaying Martian Manhunter, being powerful, mighty, dignified...and craving Chocos 😂 If you're unfamiliar with his comic book appearances, he has a serious hankering for the DC Universe version of Oreos. So after taking my super serious cosplay photos I could not resist taking a funny in character one. Then I bought all the cookies & shared them with folks at #DragonCon.❤️ Photo by J.M.
