Episode 68: The Replacements - Batman

Last time we did a “Replacements” episode, we looked at the various Robins.  This time, we dive deep in on his mentor, and look at all the people who have been the official Batman in the regular DCU.  There’s a little crossover between the two, so if you haven’t listened to Episode 58, I recommend doing so first. 

The one true original Batman. (Almost) never replaceable!

The CCO of Marvel probably still gets character payments for this DC character. I’m betting someone is annoyed at that.

It was the 90s. The thigh belt was apparently mandatory then.

How did he stuff that mullet under the cowl without it bugging him?

A leaner Batman, a meaner Robin.

Nananananananana…Bunnyman! (Even Gordon himself commented on this in the comics)

Episode 43: A (Semi-)Brief History of Valiant Comics

Vin Diesel has a new movie coming out next February titled Bloodshot (see the trailer below!), based on the Valiant Comics character.  But, what is Valiant Comics, and what makes it any different from Marvel or DC?  From the early 90s up to the current stable of titles, we look at the history of Valiant Comics/Entertainment.

Unless you want to know (at least one of) the twist(s), I recommend stopping at around 1:10.

Where it all begins.

“The first one’s free…” The slogan of all the best dealers.

The book that sunk a thousand shops. (Well, not single-handedly, but it definitely helped.)

This one gets a little existential, but it’s worth the read!
