BatChat With Matt & Will: 400 Stories Young

Secret OriginsBanner

Matt here, and I am going to be writing in the first person for this one. When I started this podcast, I don’t know what I was expecting. Will and I had been writing the BatChat column for a while. Dan Grote and I had been recording The ComicsXF Interview Podcast (then WMQ&A) for quite a bit longer. I just wanted to talk Batman some more. I didn’t know if it would work, and if it did if it would last. And here we are, ranking story 400. I just want to thank everyone for listening, out Patreon backers for backing, and Will and my friends and partners for putting up with all this chatting about Bat. We’re going back to some anthology series this week, a favorite topic for us, with a collection of Batman: Black and White stories, a Legends of the Dark Knight from James Robinson (a favorite of mine) and Dan Brereton (a favorite of Will’s) and a Secret Origins with some truly excellent creators.

  • Batman: Black & White- The Gotham Knights Stories V.1 (Batman: Black & White Vol.2 TPB)
  • Playground (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #114)
  • Original Sins (Secret Origins V.2 Special #1)

In this week’s BatChat column, we read The Bat-Man: First Knight #2, Batman/Dylan Dog #2 and Catwoman #64.

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. 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 creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.

Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
