The road to episode 100 continues with another Bat Flashback!

This particular flashback takes us back all the way to the second episode. Andy and Mike talked about issues 2 and 3 of The Untold Legend of the Batman. Topics include the origins of Robin, the Joker, Batgirl, and Two-Face. We also learn about how this version of Batman became friends with Jim Gordon and how Alfred came to live with Bruce and Dick. There's even some fun stuff about who was building the Batmobile back in the Bronze Age. For grins, Mike included some audio from the book-on-tape version of this story because, shockingly, there was a book-on-tape version of this story.

It may not seem like it, but Andy and Mike do like feedback even if they are crap at getting to it. The most direct way to do this is to email them, which you can do by directing your thoughts to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. You can also leave a comment over on their Facebook page. You can also leave a comment at the new web home of the show, The Bailey Planet.

Next Time: The march towards episode 100 concludes with episode 100! Andy and Mike promise an episode that will break the Internet in half! Actually they don't, but it is a fun episode.

The road to Episode 100 continues by going ALL the way back to the very first episode of the show! Presented just as it was when it came out, without any cuts to make the guys look better!

Way back in 2017, Andy and Mike started The Overlooked Dark Knight with a mandate of talking about Batman comics that hardly anyone talks about. They promptly side stepped that mandate by starting things with an exploration of Batman's history. The Untold Legend of the Batman was a three-issue mini-series written by Len Wein with art (initially) by John Byrne and then (eventually) Jim Aparo. The point of the series was to take all of various tellings and re-tellings of Batman's origin, as well as the origins of his friends and foes and and present them as one, clean history.

Back when you could do such a thing.

After telling you why they started the show and discuss the pros and cons of doing an index podcast, the guys talk about the first issue of the series. That's all Mike remembers of the episode, so hopefully neither he nor Andy said anything that has since become problematic.

Episode 100 of The Overlooked Dark Knight three weeks away! To celebrate this milestone, Andy and Mike thought it might be fun to re-present some older audio that is, sadly, no longer available. It seemed like a fun idea that kills two birds with one stone. Older conversations that can't be found anywhere else can find a new home and you get some extra content.

It's a win-win. For everyone.

For this first Bat Flashback Mike dusted off an episode of Bailey's Batman Podcast that was originally released in October of 2012. This episode was the first time Andy and Mike got together to talk about Batman and they chose a big issue to talk about. Batman #400, which came out in July of 1986, was not only an anniversary issue that had Batman fighting a bunch of his villains with an all-star roster of artists, it was also the final issue before Denny O'Neil took over as editor. The guys go over the book from cover to cover...literally. They talk about the era and the story and how the idea of a villain breaking out all of Batman's foes from Arkham would come back again in the nineties.

Andy and Mike would like to apologize, in advance, that this thing was three hours long. They were much chattier back in the old days.
