BatChat With Matt & Will: The State of the Future(w/ Matt McThorn)

BatChat With Matt & Will: How Are We At Story 700?
When I, Matt, came to Will in the waning days of pandemic lockdown with the idea to this podcast, legally completely unrelated to Battle of the Atom, a podcast I may or may not have mainlined 300-ish episodes of during the pandemic, I figured we’d goof around for a bit, and maybe get in about…

BatChat With Matt & Will: That is the Question
When she was created for Batman: The Animated Series, I can’t imagine the series creators realized what a life Renee Montoya would have in the comics. Technically appearing in comics before B:TAS premiered because of the much longer lead time for animation, Montoya has gone from beat cop to detective to vigilante to police commissioner…
