Episode 77 - The Penny Stocks of Villains

This time out Andy and Mike take part in this year's JLMay crossover, which is all about the 2007 BRAVE AND THE BOLD series. The guys are kicking this event off by talking about BRAVE AND THE BOLD #1, which featured a team-up between Batman and Green Lantern. For grins, they also look at BRAVE AND THE BOLD #134 from the original run of the series which was definitely a comic book story that took place over 17 pages. Then, for some reason, they talk about the MCU. It's a fun episode and be sure to check the show notes at the website for links to the other podcasts that are part of JLMay 2023!

Episode 76 - JLMay 2023: Brave and the Bold #1

THIS EPISODE HAS SOME!

Episode 75 - Face the Face Part 2

This time out Andy and Mike continue to shock and surprise by continuing to stick to their mandate by looking the first four parts of an overlooked Batman storyline. Eventually. They spend the first half of the episode catching up on DC movie news, which will either date the episode horribly or serve as a neat time capsule. Only time will tell. Then they talk about the first four chapters of Face the Face, the Batman storyline that was part of the whole One Year Later thing.

Episode 74 - Face the Face Part 1

This time out Andy and Mike continue to stick to their mandate by looking at a truly overlooked Batman comic! BATMAN #362 features a fantastic Riddler story, but it also features art by Don Newton.

Episode 73 - Don Newton is Awesome

Jim Beard

This time out Andy and Mike actually stick to their mandate...for once...and even brought along a guest. Writer Jim Beard joins the guys and even suggested the book they cover, which is BATMAN #252!

Episode 72 - A Spooky Batman Story (with guest Jim Beard)

This time out Andy and Mike throw their mandate out the window and just talk about a whole bunch of things.

Episode 70 - Yakking About Everything 2023

Episode 67 - Batman: Hidden Treasures

Neal Adams

This time out Andy and Mike devote another special episode to to a legendary comic book creator that passed away recently. Neal Adams revolutionized Batman as a character in the early seventies and became the template that is still followed to this day. Andy and Mike look at two Adams drawn Batman stories. One is the first appearance of a character that has a name that causes arguments in regards to how it is pronounced. The other has Batman fighting a werewolf. Not exactly overlooked, but the guys are making an exception for Neal.

George Perez

This time out Andy and Mike devote an episode to the late, great George Perez by looking at a story that is the opposite of Overlooked. A LONELY PLACE OF DYING was the introduction of the (technically) third iteration of Robin, the Boy Wonder and Perez was involved with that story. Andy and Mike take a good look at that story and chat about what Perez meant to them. NOTE: This episode was recorded before George Perez' passing and was originally intended to be a celebration, not a wake. So, if it sounds a little off at the beginning, that's why.

The Overlooked Dark Knight Presents A Tribute To George Perez

This time out Andy and Mike continue their informal series of episodes where they talk about the times Batman crossed over with a character or property from another fictional universe.  This time out they look at that time in 1994 when two creators with previous experiences with the Dark Knight produced something that can definitely be called a comic book.  That's right.  Andy and Mike are talking about SPAWN-BATMAN!

Andy and Mike pick out a handful of Batman stories that they feel are overlooked.  And then they talk about them.  It's like they're finally fulfilling the mandate of the show or something.

Episode 60: Some Truly Overlooked Batman Stories 2021

I was not around during the period most of these books cover, but this period of Batman is my Batman. Growing up on second hands, my views of Batman tend to not match those of my contemporaries, and I’ve had difficulty talking to peers who’s views on Batman are mostly post-Crisis, and the hosts dictate in such a way, that’s it’s almost like you are part of a conversation, so this show is a awesome break from the grim Dark Knight. It’s great to hear breakdowns from hosts that not only have a love for Batman as a whole, but can give insight into this period of Batman’s publishing history with first hand accounts. This is one of, if not the best comic podcasts out there.

Satisfies All My Nostalgia Cravings

I love all of Mike&#39;s shows and this is no different!
