Weekly comics news and reviews! Hosted by Jessica and Robert, produced in association with The Escapist Comic Bookstore 3090 Claremont Ave. Berkeley, CA.
Last week we lost another legend. Kevin Conroy, the definitive Batman for the last 30 years, passed away.

So we decided to focus this weeks episode on some of the best episodes of Batman the Animated series including Kevin Conroy's favorite. Episodes covered: Beware the Grey Ghost, Double Talk, I Am the Night, Last Laugh, Perchance to Dream See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
