BatChat With Matt & Will: Batman is Everywhere (w/ Josh Weil)
For a brief, shining moment just before the New 52 rewrote the DC Universe, Batman was everywhere. You might say to me, “Hey, podcast guy, Batman is everywhere now. And he has been since at least 1989, probably since 1966.” But I’m talking in universe here. Grant Morrison had created Batman Incorporated, where Batman travelled…

It’s been a while, but we’re returning to the three runs that we’re following in order. In No Man’s Land, we take a break from big story revelations for an anthology month of four of shots.

BatChat With Matt & Will: THE RE-RANKENING!
We’ve talked about it for a while, and here it is. This week, Matt and Will each picked three stories that they felt were too low on the Big Board, and they discussed them again and moved them to spots they felt more appropriate. It’s a lot of the creators we talk about regularly, and…

Welcome to the world of tomorrow! Like, way tomorrow. Matt McThorn is back, and we are talking about the 853rd century and Grant Morrison’s first DC crossover, DC One Million.

In the Morrison run, they investigate ethics in vigilantism and Jason Todd’s hair…
BatChat With Matt & Will: Weaponized Memories
Of all of Jack Kirby’s creations at DC, the Fourth World is probably the most well known, the most expansive, and the most ill used by other creators over the years. Some really get the wild cosmic and Shakespearean vibe the King of Comics was putting down. Some don’t and just try to make the…

I kind of can’t believe we made it this far, but here it is: episode 100! And for that, we’re hitting one of the last legendary Batman stories we haven’t touched, and one we’ve slowly been building towards for many of these 100 episodes, the culmination of the first act of Grant Morrison’s epic run:…
