Episode 54: Shipper Special #2

(Vintage comics) Recap episode. After gushing about the new “Wonder Woman” film, I go through five issues of Detective Comics in 1997 where Barbara appears but doesn’t necessarily have an impact on the story. I give a full review of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #10 and Batgirl #63/11. Chris gives his Batman ’66/’77 review and I finish the episode with my literature recommendations. Stay tuned after the show for a special look into “Alien: Covenant”!  The post Episode 140 appeared first on The Batman Universe.

Episode 74: Shipper Special #3

	After three long years, my good friend Kevin Cushing returns to the show!  Before we get started with the reviews, we discuss the current standing of DC Comics, how much we enjoy Marvel Comics, Arrow, and Game of Thrones.  We then review Detective Comics #518 and #519, Batgirl #28, and Birds of Prey #28.  We briefly talk about The Movement #10, and Chris Karnes reviews the latest Batman '66.  Finally, we wrap up the episode with our literature recommendation.  Stay tuned after the main show for some fun bloopers, and stay tuned after that for a discussion of Game of Thrones with my friend Jason. Be aware that this discussion is SPOILERIFIC!  Do not listen if you only watch the show!    The post Episode 76 appeared first on The Batman Universe.
