Batman Knightcast 44: Detective Comics #477 and Batman & Robin Year One #1

September 25, 2025

Something old, something new, one cape yellow, one cape blue. Batman Knightcast returns, and once again Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin review two tales of the Dynamic Duo. In Detective Comics #477, Marshall Rogers bookends a classic tale by Len Wein and Neal Adams. Then, Mark Waid (him again!) and Chris Samnee spin a new take on an old story, the Boy Wonder’s earliest adventures in Batman & Robin Year One #1.
