Gotham is a city of shadows. A city where good and evil blend together. It’s a city made for Noir storytelling. And while some Batman stories have some elements of a Noir, most are very much superhero stories. But to tie-in with the 40s themed animated series, Batman: The Caped Crusader, debuting this week, and…

Generally speaking, the episodes we do here are carefully curated. We try to take a theme, a character, and thoroughly dig through the 85 years of Batman stories to find the ones that best fit that theme. But then there are the weeks where Will just picks three random books off his bookshelf and wants…

At the end of “Gotham War,” a thief broke into Bruce Wayne’s brownstone and discovered that he is Batman. Now he is trying to use that information to his advantage, to make one big score and get out of the life. But things aren’t all that easy in Batman #150, written by Chip Zdarsky, penciled…
We’ve all seen the memes and the jokes: Batman’s real super power is his wallet. Batman has, historically, been from the moneyed class, and that’s how he gets all those wonderful toys.

Batman works outside the law pretty much all the time. And while he often runs afoul of civic authorities in Gotham City, it’s surprising how rarely he winds up in the crosshairs of the feds (well, we’re just starting Absolute Power in the main line, but again, exception that proves the rule). But it has…

There are some stories that read a very different ways after certain events.
