This month, join Shawn, Paul, and special guest Chris Franklin at the revamped Wayne Family Gardens!  We move over to Detective Comics and share some corned beef on rye and carrot cake as we get Marshall Rogers, Jim Starlin, and Don Newton (twice!) on art in this issue. The PI firm of Bard and Langstrom gets off the ground, and Babs visits China!  Robin battles the Raven (no, not that one!) as Batman rides the rails (literally) and then comes face to face with a nemesis from his father’s past! You won’t want to miss this one!

On this episode of Batman Knightcast, Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin wrap up the two continuing story arcs they’ve covered since the beginning of the year. First, Batman’s dizzying confrontation with the Man-Bat reaches new heights of craziness and excitement in DETECTIVE COMICS #407.

A new episode of Batman Knightcast: NOW WITH WINGS! Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin continue to chronicle two different trilogies starring the Caped Crusader and some of his deadliest rogues. First, in DETECTIVE COMICS #402, Batman encounters Doctor Langstrom again, whose monstrous transformation into the Man-Bat will bring him right into Batman’s home. In BATMAN #453, The Riddler doubles down on the evil, endangering more babies and now dogs, too. What’s his goal? Why is he so much crazier this time? And what does it have to do the Ceremony of the Bat? So many questions–that won’t be answered until next episode.
