Another week, another Jason Todd tier Patreon backer choosing violence. This time, Will’s fiancee, Abigale Heartbalm, chooses Batman: The Widening Gyre, Kevin Smith’s incomplete Batman masterpiece (?). So, this week’s theme? Hollywood folks writing Batman. We get that story, the beginning of one of the most ambitious Batman stories ever, and a recent anthology with a story written by an actor with some major Bat cred.
- Batman: The Widening Gyre #1-6
- No Law and a New Order (Batman: No Man’s Land #1, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #83, Batman #563, Detective Comics #730)
- Gotham Villains 80th Anniversary Special #1
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column, where we look at Batman: Beyond the White Knight #1, Shadow War: Alpha, and Batman: One Dark Knight #2.

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.
