Did you ever listen to ComicsXF Editor-In-Chief Zack Jenkins and his co-host Adam Reck’s podcast, Battle of the Atom, and think, “This is great, but you know what it needs? Batman.”
Well, our primary DC Editor Matt Lazorwitz did, and he grabbed his regular writing partner on the site’s weekly Bat-title round-up, Will Nevin, and they got to podcasting. Thus was born BatChat with Matt and Will: A Batman Ranking Podcast, just a few days late for Batman Day.
Each week, Matt and Will look at three Batman stories, one central story and two associated with it by theme, character or creator, and they’re gonna put them on a big list.
The show will eventually be on all your favorite podcatchers. But for this first week, we’re giving it to our loyal readers first (that and Matt is still learning to do this whole podcast creator thing, and it takes more to get it accepted than you’d think)!
For episode one, Matt and Will are looking at three different origins or firsts in Batman history:
- “Year One” (Batman V.1 #404-407)
- “Zero Year” (Batman V.2 #21-27, 29-33)
- “The Case of the Chemical Syndicate” (Detective Comics V.1 #27)

You can follow Matt on Twitter @mattlaz1013 and Will @willnevin.
And don’t forget to listen to Matt’s other podcast, WMQ&A, where he interviews creators and other comic folks with fellow site editor Dan Grote.
Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of 5. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the podcasts BatChat with Matt & Will and The ComicsXF Interview Podcast.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
