BatChat With Matt & Will: Elements, Guy and Chessboards. Oh, My!

Metamorpho Banner

Superman was pretty great, huh? We wanted to keep the good times rolling this week with an episode featuring characters other than the big guy who appeared in the movie. I really wanted to do a Batman/Mr. Terrific team up, but outside team settings, there aren’t really any, so we instead went with a classic Bob Haney Metamorpho story, a Batman/Guy Gardner story that doesn’t end with Gardner unconscious and the story of Maxwell Lord’s infamous heel turn.

  • Alias the Bat-Hulk (The Brave and the Bold V. #68)
  • 2011: A Space Oddity (Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #13)
  • The OMAC Project/Sacrifice (Countdown to Infinite Crisis #1, The OMAC Project #1-6, Superman V.2 #219, Action Comics V.1 #829, Adventures Of Superman V.1 #642-643, Wonder Woman V.2 #219)

This week’s BatChat column focuses on Batman: Dark Patterns #8.

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.
