BatChat With Matt & Will: A Pod of No Thanks

City of Crime Banner

I have heard it said that every writer has a Batman story they want to tell. Only a few get to tell them. And sadly not all of them are great. This week we’re reading three stories from writers not usually associated with Batman, Harlan Ellison, Eddie Campbell and David Lapham. And, well, none of these really are going down as central to the canon.

  • The Night of Thanks, But No Thanks (Detective Comics V.1 #567)
  • Gotham Emergency (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #200)
  • City of Crime (Detective Comics V.1 #800-808,811-814)

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.
