  Episode 251: A Woman Righteously Scorned (w/ Sam Hopper)

  Aug 12, 20261h 22m

  It's amazing how much Harley Quinn has grown and changed since her first appearance on Batman: The Animated Series. And the biggest and most important change is in her relationship with the Joker. First appearing as a simple henchwoman, then as a regularly abused partner, Harley has grown into an independent characters separate, and possible as popular, as Joker. But that wasn't an easy process. This week, Patreon backer Sam Hopper returns and we investigate three of the stories that took place during the latter part of that relationship in DC comics continuity (or adjacent to it). We read one of their last confrontations in the post-Crisis canon, their first meeting on panel in the New 52, and a weird little possible future. Hell Hath No Fury (Gotham City Sirens V.1 # 20-21) Running with the Devil (Suicide Squad V.4 # 14-15) Crappily Ever After (Harley Quinn Futures End # 1) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

  Episode 250: The Many Murders of Bruce Wayne

  Aug 6, 20261h 23m

  These milestone episode numbers are getting surreal. 250 episodes. Yikes. For this anniversary, we're looking at stories where Bruce Wayne was suspected of murder. Now, if this was the real world, a lazy billionaire would be prime suspect #1 and I wouldn't be surprised. But we are looking at a fictional world that actually has good billionaires, so guess what? Bruce Wayne is innocent of each of these crimes. There's an issue of the animated series tie-in that riffs on Hitchcock, the wrap up of a running subplot that seems to just sort of quickly end and the first of two linked Bat family crossovers. Also, we have a surprise guest at the beginning of the episode who humbly blessed our show with his appearance. The Third Door (Batman Adventures V.1 #6) Standard Operating Procedure (Batman: Shadow of the Bat V.1 #55 Bruce Wayne, Murderer? (Batman: The Ten Cent Adventure #1, Detective Comics V.1 #766-767, Batgirl V.1 #24, Nightwing V.2 #65-66, Batman: Gotham Knights #25-26, Birds of Prey V.1 #39-40, Robin V.2 #98-99, Batman V.1 #599) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

  Episode 249: Oh, Joy. It's Lobo (w/ John Wickham)

  Jul 29, 20261h 18m

  If you've listened to this show for any amount of time, you have probably heard Matt talk about his least favorite major DC characters: Deathstroke and Lobo. Deathstroke has a lot of cross over with Batman over the years, being he is one of Nightwing's most significant rogues, and various creators have drawn parallels between them. But how many times can Batman have met Lobo? He's a space bounty hunter, where's the crossover? Well, Patreon backer John Wickham found enough to pull together this episode. It's... something. Universe's Finest (Batman/Superman V.1 #28-30) Daddy Issues (Teen Titans V. 6 #31-38) The Batman Who Frags (Dark Nights: Death Metal- Infinite Hour Exxxtreme #1) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

  Episode 248: Robin Redeemed (w/ Josh Weil)

  Jul 21, 20261h 25m

  Some writers just get a lot of work. Joshua Williamson is one of those guys who has written in a lot of corners of the DC Universe. He had a long run on Flash, wrote the Dark Crisis event, is the current writer on Superman, and is soon taking over Legion of Super-Heroes. He also has spent quite a bit of time in the Batman corner of the DC Universe, with a caretaker run on the main book in between James Tynion IV and Chip Zdarsky, and run on the most recent volume of Batman/Superman, and (salient for this episode) a long run furthering Damian Wayne's arc in the Robin ongoing and Batman & Robin. Patreon backer and avowed Damian Wayne fan Josh Weil is here to talk about two of those important Damian Wayne stories by WIlliamson, as well as his Batman/Flash combo, The Red Death, from Dark Nights: Metal. The Lazarus Tournament (Batman V.3 # 106, Detective Comics V.3 # 1034, Robin V.3 # 1-6) Welcome to Dinosaur Island (Batman & Robin V.3 # 11-13) Ride the Lightning (Batman: The Red Death # 1) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

  Episode 247: The House of al Ghul (w/ Matt McThorn)

  Jul 15, 20261h 18m

  Ra's al Ghul and the members of his family are important figures in the Bat mythos, whether they are related just to Ra's or to Batman himself. This week, Matt McThorn is back to talk about some stories involving the House of al Ghul. We start with Greg Rucka's tale of a post No Man's Land Gotham where Ra's makes a play to (once again) bring the city down, follow it up with a story of a Dark Multiverse world ruled by the Empire of Shadows and the al Ghuls and end with a quirky, and beautifully drawn, one off story of Damian's birthday with his grandpa. Evolution (Detective Comics V.1 # 743-746, 750) Empire of Shadows (Batman/Superman: The Authority Special # 1) Happy Birthday, Damian (Truth & Justice # 6) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill
