Your Dark Knight Archivist LOVES Halloween! Whether or not you're staying at home binging Stranger Things 2 or out Trick or Treating with the little Batman fans in your life, there's plenty of Batman comics to enjoy this holiday season! Listen in as Londyn candidly discusses some of her favorite reads from different eras of the Dark Knight! Also, Londyn talks about this weekend's Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con, her bat-tastic panels and all other Batman activities at the biggest comic con in LA!

Your Dark Knight Archivist is back from her summer hiatus with new episodes! Londyn talks with prolific writer Chuck Dixon! Dixon has contributed so much to the Batman mythos, starting with Tim Drake's solo publication "Robin" to his run on Detective Comics introducing the character Stephanie Brown! Dixon also gives amazing insight into the creation of The Man Who Broke the Bat - Bane (my favorite!!) - and the crafting of the epic saga "Batman: Knightfall". Chuck Dixon helped make the modern Batman family foundation what it is today in current comics and other visual media.

Your Dark Knight archivist Londyn is back with brand new shows! What better way to return than speaking with legendary Marvel and DC Comics writer Steve Englehart! Englehart during the Bronze Age of DC Comics brought the dark back in dark knight, inspiring films such as Tim Burton's Batman (1989), many episodes in 1990's "Batman: The Animated Series" and issuing in the modern Batman stories we enjoy today. Listen in as Englehart discusses his work on Marvel's The Avengers, DC's Justice  League of America and experiences with artists like Marshall Rogers and Walt Simonson on their 8 issue arc now dubbed "Batman: Strange Apparitions". Englehart wrote THE essential Batman story, so learn more about this exciting history of The Batman!
