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.

This week the Faraci boys did something we rarely do - we got together! We took a family road trip to visit the home of Jerry Siegel, where Superman was created. And we went with our father and our sister. This episode was recorded by a single mic on the dining room table of a rented AirBnB, and our father Joe joins (Ariel declined). This one is all-intro, no meat, but the real ones have been waiting to hear from Joe!

We'll be back soon with our regularly scheduled program. Thanks for listening!

On this week's Batman: The Caped Crusader episodes we get the introduction of a classic Batvillain. That's right, King Tut! Also, Harley Quinn and a Scooby Doo episode that blows open the boundaries of what this show can be.

Before that we have some news and chat, including information about why upcoming episodes of our podcasts will be delayed (like this one was) and why you might see a special episode in your feeds in the days ahead.

Have you heard there's a new Batman cartoon and it's about crime, and also Jim Gordon's old beat is heavily featured? This will make a lot more sense after you listen to this episode of Marvelvision, where we talk about two more episodes of Batman: The Caped Crusader, specifically Kiss of the Catwoman and Night of the Hunters. Spoiler: we like 'em A LOT.

Before that, it's time to see what came out of D23. Is it weird that there's still no date announced for Ironheart? What did we think of the Agatha All Along trailer? All this and more revealed. If you don't care about that news, skip to 40:12.

Meanwhile, looks like our next episode of Watch Men will be The Rocketeer. Join our Patreon at the $5 or above level to get access to our episode talking about this underrated early modern superhero movie - does it hold up?

Next week: two more Batman: The Caped Crusader episodes. See you then!

Amazon has dumped 10 episodes of the new Bruce Timm Batman cartoon all at once, but we're going to be taking these two by two over the next few weeks. Let's be upfront: your hosts were not very psyched about this show in advance and then we watched it and are forced to eat our words.

Not unlike how RFK Jr was trying to eat some bear. We don't mean to get political, but the news right before we recorded was so wild we had to talk about it. If you'd rather get straight to Gotham City, skip to 45:57.

If you're a Watch Men subscriber look for a new poll very soon! If not, why not? Come join at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha.

We said we were taking the week off, but that's only because we forgot San Diego Comic-Con was this weekend. And look at us now, convening to do an emergency podcast on a Saturday night because Marvel announced some fairly major stuff.

In this special episode we talk about Robert Downey Jr as Dr. Doom! The trailer for The Penguin! Creature Commandoes! Harrison Ford being grumpy! And more more more.

Next week: we'll begin covering Batman: The Caped Crusader.

We touch on Deadpool and Wolverine but if you want to hear us really talk about it, subscribe at the $5 or above level at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha. We'll have an episode about that out Monday or Tuesday!
