In mild of the latest launch of Matt Reeves’ movie The Batman, we take into account the unusual alternation of darkness and camp that’s Batman. Is he even an excellent hero? What’s together with his rogues’ gallery? What’s with DC’s anti-world-building?

Your Fairly A lot Pop host Mark Linsenmayer is joined by philosophy prof/NY Occasions leisure author Lawrence Ware, improv comic/educator Anthony LeBlanc, and Marketing Over Coffee host John J. Wall, all of whom are deeply immersed within the comics, and we contact on different latest exhibits within the Batman universe.
