It's all about the Batawang on this week's podcast! That's right, folks. We're getting up close and personal with Bruce's Wayne all thanks to Batman Damned #1. Oh, but wait, there's more. We also look back on Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy film, talk our favorite indie publishers, and recommend a series of must-read titles. Come for the comics, stay for the debate about who has the better ass: Batman or Nightwing?

Books talked about this podcast: Harley Quinn #50, Captain America Annual #1, Thor #5, Life of Captain Marvel #3, Dick Tracy #1, Patience! Conviction! Revenge! #1, Rose Vol 2, Batman Damned #1, The Sandman Vol. 1 Preludes & Nocturnes, Batman #55, West Coast Avengers #2, Rainbow Brite #1, as well as many more!
