Wayne Manor Memoirs

After having crept up in the last two episodes, Joe & Kendall decided it was time and dedicated an entire episode to Batman: Year two, the mysterious story that has been effectively purged from DC conscious, though not from DC history. Did you ever want to see Batman wield a pistol with malicious intent, engage in the world's most awkward and forced relationship, and team up with Joe Chill all while trying to stop a Pirates of the Caribbean reject with the world's most eye-rolling catchphrase? Yeah, us neither. Buckle up, Bat-Fanatics, this is a bumpy one.

Learn how DC's shared universe formed during the Golden Age, developed and multiplied, and was eventually reset to "simplify" 50 years of stories. Watch the multiverse's complicated existence unfold, refold, and unfold again!

Holy continued format change, Batman! This week, Joe & Kendall go to the movies! And then come back to their comic roots to finish up the tale of the Phantasm from Batman & Robin Adventures to Batman Beyond. From humble and meager beginnings to cult classic, watch as Mask of the Phantasm becomes the story its inspiration tried to be. The movie really is better than the book.
