BatChat With Matt & Will: The Law of Contrivance

Officer Down Banner

There are plenty of superheroes you could talk about where the issues of copaganda in 2023 don’t come up. I’m sure there are. But Batman isn’t one of them. We’ve had episodes talking about Jim Gordon and the main detectives of the GCPD before and had to look at those questions, and this week, we’re back again. Only this time one of the stories is asking them along with us.

  • Officer Down (Batman V.1 #587, Robin V.2 #86, Batgirl V.1 #12, Birds of Prey V.1 #27, Catwoman V.2 #90, Nightwing V.2 #53, Detective Comics V.1 #754, Batman: Gotham Knights #15)
  • Motive (Gotham Central #3-5)
  • GCPD: The Blue Wall #1-6

Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column where we look at Knight Terrors: Batman #1, Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 #6 and Peacemaker Tries Hard #3.
