Our hosts return and attend a birthday party that starts out strong, but the third act of BE A CLOWN, really does kill the party vibe.

Alex and Will discuss how the idea of the Joker disguising himself as a clown and attending a birthday party with the intention of blowing it up, is a really strong idea, but once the party ends, so does the quality of the episode. Even with the odes to The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, this episode just doesn't light their candle.

Our hosts discuss ways to improve the story, such as how young Jordan should have wanted to become a clown instead of a magician, and rebel against his neglecting father. Or, even more sinister, become a sidekick to the Joker and a real threat to Batman, as he can’t punch a kid in the mouth for being a menace!

Alex and Will laugh at the fact that Batman knows when garbage collection day is for each district of Gotham, and also take joy in realising that this episode is the origin of the popular Batman thumbs up meme.

Also discussed in this episode is the recent announcement of Amazon purchasing the Bruce Timm lead animated series, The Caped Crusader. Plus, a live action casting choice for Mayor Hill and another hilarious Caped Capers scenario.

AND AS A BIG REVEAL, Will shares what title projects he’s currently working on for both MARVEL & DC! Along with updating us all on the progress of his creator owned Zombie anthology series, OUTBREAKS!
