Our hosts return to the pod and Alex shares his most recent chat with Batman TAS Director, Kevin Altieri!

Kevin directed so many pivotal episodes of BTAS, such as: On Leather Wings, Cat & Claw part 1, The Last Laugh, Two-Face parts 1&2, Night of the Ninja, The Demon’s Quest parts 1&2, Avatar, Harlequinade, Harley’s Holiday, and Showdown.

Kevin shares in detail how much he loved Ra's Al Ghul as a kid, and how his dream was to bring those Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams comic books to life on screen one day. Not only did he grant his own wish and became known as the "Ra's guy" around the studio, he also went and got Denny O'Neil to write the first two Ra's episodes!

He recalls working with Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, Shirley Walker, and all of the amazing voice cast, including some lovely memories of Kevin Conroy.

Kevin also discusses directing the Two-Face episodes, including how the famous animated rain was captured in Part 2. The day that Paul Dini brought the idea of Harley Quinn into his office and why it took him so long to direct a Harley episode. His experiences creating the look and feel of the first episode, On Leather Wings, including the influences behind the batcave. How he introduced Jonah Hex into the DCAU, and so much more!

Will also shares updates on his recent creator owned story with IDW, along Outbreaks issue 1 now available for digital download (links below), plus our hosts share what they're currently putting in their holes and read some incredible recent listener reviews!
