He's Batman's greatest nemesis. He is as mutable as his foe, appearing sometimes as a whacky criminal clown, sometimes as a terrifying homicidal maniac, and sometimes as an urban terrorist. He is the Joker. And this week, Matt and Will look at three single issue Joker stories in their first villain spotlight episode.

The Joker's Five-Way Revenge (Batman V.1 # 251)

A Clash of Symbols (Detective Comics V.1 # 617)

The Clown at Midnight (Batman V.1 # 663)

It's Halloween week, so it's time to dig into three of Batman's encounters with the supernatural: One great, one good, and one oh so very bad. Try to figure out which before you listen; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Batman/Dracula: Red Rain

The Secret of the Waiting Graves (Detective Comics V.1 # 395)

Superman and Batman Vs. Vampires and Werewolves (Superman and Batman Vs. Vampires and Werewolves #1-6)

Dan Grote, Matt's co-host on his other show WMQ&A, stops by to talk about four stories (one of these comics is a twofer) of an all-ages Batman teaming up with other heroes.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold # 20

Batman Adventures Annual (V.1) # 2

Batman: Gotham Adventures # 6

There are many ways to describe Batman. Superhero. Martial Artist. Scientist. Adventurer. But for your hosts, Matt & Will, one beats all the rest: Detective. This week, we look at three stories that have a theme of Batman as the Dark Knight Detective.

Blades (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight # 32-34)

The Doomsday Book (Detective Comics V.1 # 572)

Beautiful People (Detective Comics V.1 # 821)

If Batman is anything, it's malleable. There are plenty of alternate Batmans (that's the plural and I'm sticking to it) out there, and this week, Matt & Will are looking at three of them.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight

Batman: Holy Terror

Superman: Speeding Bullets

We're back with episode 2, the final episode!

Nah, just kidding. But we are focusing on three last Batman stories this episode.

The Dark Knight Returns (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns # 1-4)

Some of These Days (Batman Annual V.3 # 2)

The Last Batman Story --? (Batman V.1 # 300)

The inaugural episode of our new podcast, BatChat with Matt & Will, a podcast where we take every Batman story ever, read them, and rank them on a big list from best to worst. This week, we look at three different first Batman stories.

Batman: Year One (Batman V.1 # 404-407)

Zero Year (Batman V.2 # 21-27, 29-33)

The Case of the Chemical Syndicate (Detective Comics V.1 # 27)
