About

From the Author:

I started Justice League Lunch Break in June of 2025. Back then I called it “Yin and Yang” because I didn’t think anyone else would see it, and therefore could afford having a title so rubbish. I had just graduated, and I was given the same advice from all of my professors and all of the faculty. “Do something creative every day.” They wanted us to stay in practice, in case it was going to be a while before our next creative job, to make sure we didn’t get rusty.

JLLB was my method of doing that. I love superheroes, I have since I was the smallest of children. And as I’ve gotten older the part of them I love the most has shifted. I love the idea of the crushingly mundane, mixing the grandiose and epic. I love the idea that Superman, after saving the world from gods gone mad and horrors beyond the stars, has to go to Kroger and decide what kind of toothpaste he wants.

That was the catalytic idea behind JLLB. I wanted to see how much humor could be stretched from the idea of Batman and Superman having lunch together, as if they were regular people, when we all know they aren’t. I thought it would be fun to decide meaningless things like “what is Batman’s favorite flavor of Pop Tart?” And that’s all the first few episodes were. Me indulging in whatever fancy I wanted, writing whatever mood or idea I thought would make a fun episode today. I didn’t always finish an episode every day, but as long as I wrote something I was still keeping in practice. Then if I read each episode aloud to my girlfriend, that kept me in practice for my narrating skills.

As I read it to her however, she started getting invested. The little subplots I threw in started developing. I started getting invested. And before I knew it, I had written twelve episodes filled with drama, and I was planning out future seasons.

JLLB is a project I started assuming nobody would care and it was just a silly pass-time. Seeing it grow into something with its own website and art is a feeling unlike anything I’ve felt before. I’ve got more than twenty episodes written, and I can’t wait to get them all recorded. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I’ve enjoyed making them. Stay tuned for more!
