BatChat With Matt & Will: The Love of a Faceless Man

It amazes me sometimes that, 242 episodes into this whole thing. how many stories we still haven't read. When Jason Todd tier backer Kyle Still came to me with his options for this week's episode, and one of them included the Batman and Robin tie-in to the Joker-centric event "Death of the Family" I realized that we had never actually done the main arc from Scott Snyder's run on…

BatChat With Matt & Will: Return to Will’s Bookshelf

OK, so normally I would have something pithy to say about suffering through Will just picking random stuff of dubious quality that isn't available on-line and Batman '66 trades, which I just did. But what I really want to focus on are the vagaries of fate and coincidence. As you'll hear if you just start this episode, we recorded this on March 18th.

BatChat With Matt & Will: Batmanga!

Superheroes were an American invention, at least the modern conception of them. But they have spread across the world and taken on many forms. We've done an episode about Batman stories across the world before, but this weeks we're focusing specifically on Batman stories from Japan. We're reading the first collection of stories that spun out of the 60s…

BatChat With Matt & Will: One Hell(boy) of an Episode (w/ Matt McThorn)

This week, BatChat is once more joined by Patreon backer and friend of the show Matt McThorn. This time, Matt wanted to talk about times Batman and his allies and enemies crossed over with properties from Dark Horse Comics. So we have Batman meeting Hellboy (and Starman, but that's less of a jump), The Joker trying on The Mask and the Justice League winding up on the farm that serves as the setting for Black Hammer.

BatChat With Matt & Will: The Angel, The Ivy, The Demon Star

This week, BatChat is returning to the three runs we've been following in order. Well, sorta. Yes, we're reading the next arc of No Man's Land and the penultimate arc of Grant Morrison's epic run. But Injustice has been showing signs of severely diminishing returns the past few volumes, and we had something else we've been wanting to get to, so we're subbing in "Knightquest: The Crusade," the adventures of Azrael as Batman.

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 who DC has tried to get over no less than four times with their own series that has never taken off.

BatChat With Matt & Will: A Scumbag Bruce Wayne

It's the start of a new year again, and so, as we do every year, it's time to look at some new visions of Batman in a handful of Elseworlds. We've got a pulpy adventure of Batman and Superman, the Bat-pirate Leatherwing sailing the seven seas and an issue of the Batman Chronicles anthology with a second tale of Leatherwing, a gumshoe Bruce Wayne investigating murders by a cat creature and an intellectual Batman who still has time to punch Nazis.

BatChat With Matt & Will: Batman and the Origins of Christmas

Happy holidays to all! As is our tradition, and as we aren't going to run out any time soon, the week of Christmas we read three stories of the holidays in Gotham. One is a little holiday kinda-noir from Bat legends Denny O'Neil and Frank Miller, one is a perplexing animated series style Brave and the Bold that might explain the intergalactic origins of Santa and the final is a mini-series where Batman teams up with one of the men who trained him: Kris Kringle himself.
