Welcome back Bat-Fanatics! Megan joins Joe for a very special episode dedicated to the first women to make their mark on Batman comics. Our suite of writers starts way back in the Golden Age with Ruth Lyons Kaufman. Then we visit the bronze age with Barbara Kesel before returning to the modern era with Devin Grayson. For artists, we start in the 80s with Mary Mitchell before revisiting New 52's Becky Cloonan.  Don't fret Bat-Fanatic if your favorite female creative isn't on this list! We tried to keep the list focused on big milestones this time. We're definitely interested in expanding our knowledge of the women who've shaped Batman. Feel free to reach out if you have a particular female bat-creator you want us to cover!

The First Women of Batman

Welcome to another B-Side Bat-Fanatics! Joe is joined by special guest (and friend of the podcast) Chris to discuss 11 unpopular opinions about Batman. Well, we think they're unpopular. If you agree with most of them, you're probably listening to the right Batman podcast! If you don't agree, send us a strongly worded letter and tell us! We discuss Batman: The Animated Series, it's sucessor the Batman, Zatanna, Greg Rucka, Batman '66 (of course!), and much more. Plus, we briefly discuss the late, great Kevin Conroy. So buckle in Bat-Fanatics for a show so click-baity you'll be surprised it wasn't downloaded already.

B-Side: Unpopular Batman Opinions

Joe &amp; Kendall return, after an unexpected hiatus, to discuss the single appearances of Bookworm, False Face, and Zelda the Great in Season 1 of Batman ‘66. Plus, they’re joined by Megan! Can the Terrific Trio remember how to record a podcast? Not really. Can Joe successfully edit the episode? No (Sorry Bat-Fanatics, this one is a little rough!). Is the episode chock full of Bat-goodness and fun? Definitely. So listen away, Bat-Fanatics, as we discuss such lurid topics as: would polar repulsion actually break a clocktower? Should Robin be more concerned about Asbestos book covers? Is False Face scary under different contexts? Is Zelda really even a villain? FOR WHOM DOES THE BELL TOLL, BAT-FANATICS?! IT TOLLS FOR THEE!

Bookworm, False Face, and Zelda the Great

We’re back, Bat-Fanatics, and rapidly (for us) approaching the culmination of Season 3! This time Joe and Kendall pull a fast one by picking a comic so recent it was only collected in trade a month ago, Batman: The Imposter. Those of you who loved The Batman will find several similarities within this book. He is a Bruce Wayne imagined in the real world. He battles crime with simplistic gadgets, minimal support infrastructure, and near suicidal tendencies. What happens when someone poses as Batman and begins killing criminals? Gorgeously illustrated by Andrea Sorrentino, Mattson Tomlin’s script is clearly influenced by his time working on The Batman’s script. There are definitely some great ideas here. The real question Bat-Fanatics must ask themselves is: which Batman do you prefer, one rooted in realism or one rooted in traditional comic book storytelling? We can’t answer that for you, but we sure give you our opinions! Plot Pandemonium: Batman: The Imposter #1-3

Batman Kinda Sus

Something seems off here, Bat-Fanatics, . . . apparently shenanigans are afoot on Earth-11! This time “Joe &amp; Kendall” (really Megan &amp; Chloe) meet-up to discuss Harleen, Stjepan Sejic’s retelling of Harley Quinn’s origin. This book has everything: sexy Harleen, sexy Joker, sexy nightmare sequences, sexy Hugo Strange (. . . I’m sensing a theme . . .). Harleen served as one of the tent poles of DC’s Black Label launch and is (generally) considered one of the best titles in the brand to date. So prepare for a romance story of epic proportions where Harleen &gt;&gt;&gt; Harley, where the Joker has abs upon his abs, and where Batman (and Two-Face?) are almost inconsequential!

Dick Grayson

Holy Tom King, Bat-Fanatic. As often as we worship at the altar of Tom King, this particular series has been largely overlooked by Joe &amp; Kendall (mostly Kendall). Joe read the first volume a few years ago, but Kendall had never read any of it! As the title implies, Dick Grayson leaves the life of vigilantism behind to take a role as a (sexy) spy for Spyral. This series is co-written by King &amp; Tim Seeley with art by Mikal Janin. Needless to say, this Dick looks great! Can Dick keep his ethos intact in the life of espionage? Can Helena Bertinelli REALLY be a compelling love interest when Babs is still on the table? Is the Midnighter actually cool? These are some of the topics we delve into as we cover the first part of Grayson! Prep your ID concealing hypnos, track down the latest super-power granting organ, and settle in to learn the secrets of supers across the globe!   Plot Pandemonium: Grayson vol. 1 #1-6 + Annual 1

The Bat-Radar returns! This time Joe &amp; Kendall dedicate an hour to a bevy of topics, including: new jobs, their most interesting reads from Feb 2022, and some killer TV. If that weren't enough, they also do their best to review every Bat-Book they are currently reading. Do they get them all? No. Do they try really hard? Maybe. So sit down and listen to more unscripted nonsense from J&amp;K and they talk comics, television, and video games.

The Devil, Watergate, Molemen, and MORE!!! Joe &amp; Kendall return for their seasonal coverage of Jack Kirby’s Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth! And as usual, they have a blast experiencing these banana pants stories. This time Kamandi must compete in a deadly Kentucky Derby, find the missing Watergate Tapes, learn the secrets that possibly elevated animals to human intellect, meet the molemen, and KO a killer giant worm. Seriously, Bat-Fanatic, what more could you possibly be looking for in your comic entertainment?! So, prepare your giant cricket for battle, do your best impression of a retired linebacker in a blonde wig, crank your emotions up to 11, and get ready for more gorilla violence than you can shake a banana at.

It’s been a long time Bat-Fanatics, how have you been? Joe and Kendall have switched jobs, fought plagues, enjoyed holidays, and generally taken an unexpected break from podcasting. One month later, they release an episode recorded before CHRISTMAS. Ah well, that’s quality right? We continue to show zero viability for a Patreon. Anyway! This time Joe and Kendall hit you with the “hidden” Batman: Year X story by looking at Marv Wolfman’s Batman: Year Three. Never heard of it? Never read it? Well, they didn’t collect it until 2019! You can read it on DCUI though… Year Three focuses on Robin’s origin and history with notorious gangster Tony Zucco while simultaneously dealing with the fallout of Jason Todd’s death in the present. It’s a book overloaded with potential, that unfortunately fails to deliver. It’s not all bad though! Get ready for helicopter gang slayings, a Batman on the brink that is still more tame than modern Batman, some delightful Dick zingers, and SO MANY opportunities for “PHRASING!”. Plus, at the rate we’re going, who knows when you’ll get another episode!   Plot Pandemonium: Batman Vol. 1 #436 - 439

Whose Year Three is This?

Happy Holidays, Bat-Fanatics! You know, as we always say on this podcast, there is nothing that prepares you for this festive season more than taking a closer look at another psychopathic member of Batman’s rogues gallery. This holiday season, the Calendar Man has stuffed your proverbial stocking with bits and pieces of Lord Death Man. But don’t fret! He’s gonna be fine! He survived a volcano! That might be getting ahead of ourselves, though… Joe &amp; Kendall put the menace of Bat-Manga under the microscope to find out just how Lord Death Man… lords…over… death? That’s right, Bat-Fanatics. Joe read manga. FOR YOU! And he even liked it. What is the world coming to?   So don your dramatic capes, pull out that skeleton Halloween costume from a few years ago, prepare your best Han Solo in carbonite impression, and get ready to contemplate the harsh realities of insanity and immortality as we cover ALMOST EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE OF LORD DEATH MAN EVER. That’s right. Almost all of them. Watch out for the volcano.

Mask of the Phantasm: Like Year Two But Way Better

This week, Joe and Kendall plumb the seedy, vaguely pasta smelling underbelly of Carmine “The Roman” Falcone’s Gotham City. For as influential as both Joe and Kendall believed Carmine to be, they were surprised to find they could count the number of times he’s appeared in the Batmythos on one hand. So let's get the freaks out of Gotham as we follow the rise, fall, and return (possibly negating the fall entirely) of the original crime boss of Gotham City, Bat-Fanatics!

Welcome, Bat-Fanatics, to another episode where Joe &amp; Kendall pretend to be a video game podcast! This time they continue their discussion of the highly influential Arkham series. If Arkham Asylum revolutionized what a Batman game could be, Arkham City refined it to near perfection. Add in a compelling, slightly convoluted, RISKY story and you get, arguably, the best game in the Arkham series to date. This game even showcases some of the BEST versions of Batman’s Rogues Gallery (We’re looking at you cockney Penguin! We see you modern Harley Quinn!) So, plug in those bat-earbuds and learn why Joe and Kendall think this might be the most compelling Bat-Verse of the modern era!

Arkham City: Now With More Villains!

Straying from their formula of focusing (almost) exclusively on the more obscure aspects of the Batmythos, Joe and Kendall jump headlong into the beloved The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. If you had ever hoped for a proper Year One follow up, Bat-Fanatics, this is it! Be sure to pack a windbreaker because Joe and Kendall race the Flash through the plot as they make their way back to the Batcave. Why the Batcave, you ask? Because they’ll need the finest Batmicroscope to complete their (far too) in-depth analysis! Pull out your copy of The Long Halloween and listen to the results . . . you won’t want to miss it!

Because they’ll need the finest Batmicroscope to complete their (far too) in-depth analysis! Pull out your copy of The Long Halloween and listen to the results . . . you won’t want to miss it!

Bonus Episode: Unmade Batman Films

Welcome Bat-Fanatics to a highly anticipated topic in the Batman Mythos. Batman: The Animated Series (aka BTAS) defined Batman for many a 90s child. The series was so successful that several aspects of the show were incorporated into mainstream Batman comics continuity. Needless to say, this show is a pretty big deal for a lot of Batman fans. So, Joe and Kendall begin their descent into the “Dark Deco” of Gotham to revisit their childhoods through BTAS. Cartoons were in a pretty bad place before the early 90s and Batman had a major role in redefining what cartoons could do.  Load your bat-grapple, attack some innocent thugs walking past a bank explosion, and prepare to be illuminated by dramatic lighting as we examine this sacred cow of the Bat-Mythos!

Batman: Arkham Asylum Changes The Game

Tom King

We pulled an audible (+ more Football references)! Tom King’s run on Batman has ended, but our love for it has not. This week, Joe and Kendall take some time to reflect on the run as a whole, and try to determine why Tom King’s work resonates so well with both of them, but this one might not be for everyone. In their review, they cover their favorite arc as well as their top 2 favorite issues of the entire run. Lots of opinions here, Bat-Fanatics! So, prepare for character driven story, wild ramblings about the makings of “good” comics, and an unexpected investment in Kite-Man--HELL YEAH! They also discuss some upcoming Tom King projects for those looking for their next fix. We’ll be back with Fortunate Son next time.

Talkin' Tom King

Joe and Kendall dive into the (oft requested) cyberpunk future of Gotham City to hang out with Terry McGinnis! Bat-Fanatics, you might be surprised to learn that Joe has NEVER watched this show! This episode is his first experience with the Batman Beyond Universe! They start off with a brief overview of the fan-favorite series before diving into the first four episodes in all their late 90s/early 2000s glory. So get ready for some cartoon physics to slag some science equipment, the crankiest and grumpiest Batman to date, and the proper way to handle Batman &amp; guns in this week’s ripping episode of Wayne Manor Memoirs!

Batman Goes Beyond

It’s time to end our first trilogy of Season 2 by discussing Tom Peyer’s and Jamal Igle’s The Wrong Earth. What’s that? That’s not a Batman comic? You bet your Batcave it is! This time Joe, Kendall, and special guest Megan delve into the worlds of Dragonflyman and Dragonfly, the same hero from two vastly different Earths! On Earth Alpha, Dragonflyman and his youthful ward, Stinger, protect the status quo of Fortune City from narcissistic near-do-wells. On Earth Omega, the Dragonfly brings savage (and lethal!) justice to those who break the law. So what happens when the two accidentally swap Earths? We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.   We originally billed this as Batman ‘66 meets the Dark Knight Returns, which it sort of is. However, more importantly, this is a cross sectional view of the history of comics. Can the fun heroics of the Silver Age still exist side by side with the dark and gritty realism of the Iron Age? Malign the maleficent malcontents, dose those dastardly deviants with deadly poison, transcend the treacherous trivia of Triviac, and find out Bat-Fanatics!

The Wrong Earth Gets it Right

This week Joe &amp; Kendall are joined by special guest Chris, host of the podcast Hey, Do You Remember…?, and discuss the first volume in the Batman Earth One line. What happens when DC Comics decides to shake things up and forgo continuity in the hopes of bringing on new readers? Well, it’s akin to adding lime to a coconut: a new twist on a familiar taste. Witness the new, yet older, Detective Jim Gordon (still rocking the sweet ‘stache); the handsome, Hollywood Detective Harvey Bullock; the grizzled, war vet Alfred Pennyworth; and the non-monstrous looking Mayor Penguin. Oh, and there’s Batman. Close your eyes and blow out your birthday candles before the Birthday Boy closes them for you.

Batman’s Earth One Birthday Toys Suck

Join Joe and Kendall for the first part of the Wrong Earth Trilogy. This week we visit the comic book adaptation of Joe’s favorite Batman: Batman ‘66! Originally released as digital comics, they were printed into 30 individual comic issues and then collected into 6 trades. We dive into Batman ‘66 Volume 1 to discover what tropes of the show are needed to make this new material feel like the TV show. Limitless budget, reverence for the source material, and a single writer makes all the difference, that’s for sure! So prepare yourself for the sound effects of physicality, divert your ears from the seduction of the Siren, and denounce stimulants in your search for the Sandman as we brazenly brave the beleaguered Gotham of Batman ‘66 for our bewitching Bat-Fanatics! Plus, a short segment from Megan!   Plot Pandemonium - Batman ‘66 vol. 1 #1 - 5

The Joker goes SANE! That’s right Bat-Fanatics, Joe &amp; Kendall are covering the newly released Batman:White Knight. Jack Napier (formerly the Joker) goes up against a loose cannon Batman for the fate of Gotham. Plus, there are two Harley Quinns (so we know Joe is all in). Is Batman really a foil for the 1%? Is the GCPD complicit in Batman’s crimes because they house the Bat-Signal? Are we seriously going to root for the Joker to beat Batman? You’ll be surprised at the answers. Sean Murphy (Joe the Barbarian &amp; Punk Rock Jesus) wrote the script and penciled (and inked) the art. You’re in for a real treat Bat-Fanatics. There are major spoilers for this story, so please, do yourself a favor, READ THE BOOK FIRST! You won’t be disappointed. Oh, and we adjusted our format for collected stories just a bit. Outrageous!
