BatChat With Matt & Will: That Story Is a Stretch

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Of all of DC’s obscure characters outside the Bat family, two of Matt’s absolute favorites are the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, and his wife, Sue. Inspired by Nick and Nora Charles from Dashiell Hammett’s novel, The Thin Man, Ralph and Sue are a bantering, loving couple who solve mysteries. They are, as the kids at...

Battle Of The Atom: Ghost World Daria

Zachary Jenkins and Adam Reck — Mon, 25 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

I have a hard time believing Daniel Clowes would want his "comix" confused with Marvel's "What If?" series. And yet, that's what we are presupposing.

BatChat with Matt & Will: The Man Behind the Black Mask (w/ Sam Hopper)

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

There are plenty of legacy characters in the Bat universe; how many Robins are there now? But there are far fewer legacy villains than there are heroes. But before Flashpoint and the New 52 scrambled things, or repositioned them anyway, one of Batman’s solid B-tier villains was replaced. Black Mask, a character introduced in the...

BatChat With Matt & Will: Seeley’s Nightwing Team-Ups (w/ Josh Weil)

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

When a writer works on a character for an extended period of time, it’s fascinating to watch how their interpretation of that character evolves. When Patreon backer Josh Weil came to us and wanted to cover the Robins mini-series that won DC’s fan voted Round Robin competition, the natural stories to pair with it were...

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Not long ago, we did an episode entirely dedicated to Batman stories that originated in Japan. Amongst those stories was a collection of creator Jiro Kuwata’s 60s Batman manga, that were adaptations of earlier American Batman stories.

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Event comics are a weird thing. And those events that slip in and take over the monthly slots of other comics are even weirder. Could you imagine if Law & Order was cancelled for two weeks to be replaced by Anarchy & Chaos? People wouldn’t know what to do with it. But we comics fans...

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: From the 5th Dimension

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Bat-Mite is a silly character. He is this hopeless fanboy who just doesn’t get what a pain in the tuchus he is. But he’s not the only mite in the DC Universe, and the others aren’t quite as benevolent, if hopelessly backwards. The most notable imp (sorry, Bat-Mite) is Mr. Mxyzptlk, Superman’s nemesis who is...
