Plus: new Trek merch you'll actually want to own. Welcome back to Blerd Trek: Last Week in Star Trek for the week ending June 27, 2026. This week, the boundary between Starfleet and Gotham got a whole lot thinner. Anson Mount (Captain Pike) is reprising his role as the Dark Knight in Batman: Knightfall Part 1, an animated trilogy adapting one of the most iconic Batman stories ever told. We break down what Mount brings to Bruce Wayne — and the surprising history of Star Trek actors voicing Batman (looking at you, Bruce Greenwood). Then we dive into the Strange New Worlds Season 4 trailer and what it means that Paul Wesley's Kirk is front and center. Are we inching closer to the Original Series timeline — and could Year One actually happen? Plus: a merch roundup featuring the Loungefly Star Trek Tri-Quarter Glow Crossbody Bag, the ultra-limited Hallmark Shuttlecraft Einstein ornament from The Doomsday Machine (only 5,000 units), and Factory Entertainment's gold-pressed latinum bars, Kataan necklace from The Inner Light, and the laser cannon replica from The Cage. 🖖 CHAPTERS: 0:00 — Intro &amp;amp; Anson Mount's Batman return 0:43 — Mount's history as the Dark Knight (Injustice 2021) 1:14 — Why Knightfall is the perfect Batman story for Pike 1:58 — Star Trek actors who voiced Batman (Bruce Greenwood) 2:42 — SNW Season 4 trailer: Kirk, Spock &amp;amp; episodic Trek 3:44 — Ethan Peck &amp;amp; Paul Wesley waiting for Year One 4:34 — Loungefly Tri-Quarter Glow Crossbody Bag ($65) 5:18 — Hallmark Shuttlecraft Einstein Ornament (5,000 units, $45) 6:31 — Gold-Pressed Latinum Bars (Factory Entertainment) 6:51 — Kaatan Necklace from &quot;The Inner Light&quot; ($69.99) 7:10 — Laser Cannon Replica from &quot;The Cage&quot; ($99.99) 7:45 — Outro &amp;amp; what's coming next &amp;nbsp; Scene N Nerd https://www.scenennerdpodcast.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41850185/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/203456390
