In this episode of the Optimism Club, the guys start off right away talking about comics, so if you don't like that kind of thing just turn off the podcast.  Is Batman on too many damn covers?  Steve thinks so.  We were kind of all over the place but shortly after that we talked about female characters being drawn like pornstars.  We eventually talk about Arkham Origins and Steve gives a very detailed review on a game that he has never played.  Finally, we dreamed of a world in which movie studios would use all of their properties in one movie and Steve turns into Technically boy.
