BatChat With Matt & Will: 666- The Story of the Beast
We read three stories an episode. So with that math, episode 222 means we are ranking story 666, which is certainly a portentous number. It’s a number that screams horror. And it’s not like we haven’t covered plenty of Batman horror on this show. But as we get to that number here, we figured there’s…

BatChat With Matt & Will: ‘Cause I’m a Creep
The Creeper is a weird character. He’s a guy with yellow skin, a green and black banana hammock, and a red fur boa. That’s a heck of a look. He’s also a good guy that most think is a bad guy. And sometimes he hangs out in Gotham City. That’s a lot on a character…
