This week and next we prepare for September's new comic book shows, The Penguin and Agatha All Along. Up first: the first appearance of The Penguin in an early Batman adventure that shows just how much Bats was not a grim avenger of the night for very long at all. That starts at 1:02. Yes, one hour and two minutes.

But if you skip to there you'll miss all the news that hit this weekend, including a bunch of rumors, the question of whether we need anymore Falcone in Batman stuff after The Penguin and me discussing how I personally, and with my own power, destroyed the Zack Snyder DCEU. Exciting stuff.

Next week: Fantastic Four #94, the first appearance of Agatha Harkness!

Thanks for listening!

We wrap up the first season of Caped Crusader with a Two-Face two-parter, and it's a doozy. Stick around until the very end to hear us talk about where this show stacks up in the history of adapted Batmen and our relationships with Batman adaptations over the years.

Before that: Derek goes to a concert! The Thing is seen on the set of Fantastic Four! This week's trivia is really, really hard. Interested in the Superman piece I recollect fondly in this episode? Read it right here.

If you don't care about any of that stuff skip right to 40:00 to get to the meat of the episode. This week's music is Two Faces Have I by Lou Christy.

Next week: we will read the Penguin's first appearance in Detective Comics #58 as we prepare for the upcoming Penguin TV show.

Thanks for listening!

We're back from our trip, which means it's back to Gotham as we get to the penultimate episode of our series on the newest Batman cartoon, Batman: The Caped Crusader. This one gives us an LA Confidential-tinged cop story and a vampire tale filled with special guest stars who go unremarked upon in the show. Sneaky!

We don't have as much intro this week as usual, but our theme song is by Todd Rundgren.

Thanks for listening!
