A lot can happen in just two weeks, and this episode proves it.

So as we alluded to in the last episode, Batman #50 didn’t go exactly the way we hoped. Even though we had some time to let it set in, it was still pretty frustrating, and that may be putting it lightly. So while we do focus on that issue for a decent chunk of time, we also review Detective Comics #984. We dive into Listener Comments which mainly focus on Batman #50 and Tom King. But because of the lack of news (after all, SDCC is happening in the middle of this episode posting), we are finally able to bring back Monkey Watch with its new format. This time around Dustin, Steph, and Ed discuss some of their favorite vacations. Be sure to leave your thoughts below.

The post Episode 253 appeared first on The Batman Universe.

We know that you read Batman #50, and so did we. But because of how everything played out we couldn’t bring ourselves to discuss it early in this episode. Honestly, it might be better as it gives a decent cooling off period. What we do talk about includes September solicitations and the big announcement of DC bringing comics to Walmart. After reviewing Batman #49 and Detective Comics #983, we dive in your questions regarding Tom King, Amazon’s print on demand comic and what it could mean for the future of the industry, talking about negative points in our reviews, and how the Bat-Family stands with the recent changes happening and coming soon. Be sure to leave your questions and comments below.
