  • Perfect for the new Batman comic reader

This pod is partially to blame for the absurd amount of money I have spent on floppys and trades after nearly 25 years of not having a comic collecting hobby. This pod is seriously that good.

  • Perfect reading guide for all things Batman

    This podcast got me into actually reading comics after being a huge Batman animated series and movie fan. Have followed along and read every book covered after having barely read anything before. Highly recommend.

Batman '66 Writer Jeff Parker (Episode 265)
Q: What was your favorite Batman story?
One that jumped to mind was 'Death Flies the Haunted Sky,' which was written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Alex Toth; however, I really liked the art from Don Newton and Gene Colan's runs as well.
Batman '66: Main Title (Episode 264)
Q: Did you ever do this when you were a youngin watching this show, try and craft a narrative around these opening credits?
I feel like I never in this level of detail, but I feel like I did a version of that in my, you know, three, four, five-year-old brain.
Batman '66: Main Title (Episode 264)
Q: What is your relationship slash history with the Batman TV series?
I don't remember a time in life that I was not a fan of this series.
The Garden of Death (Episode 263)
Q: How about a favorite panel?
I really like the big reveal of Lord Death Man with all the ninjas in the trees behind him.
The Garden of Death (Episode 263)
Q: What was your favorite part of The Garden of Death?
My favorite part is when they first get to the Yomi no Kuni, just where it has the beautiful pink flowery trees, just a very calm and serene setup for the little spookiness that's gonna come up a little bit later.
