    Investing in women's sports is an increasingly appealing and sound business decision, but the sector still has a lot of room for growth. When someone like WNBA star Caitlin Clark comes along, audiences boom and the league benefits. But what happens when she leaves? What will help solidify the business of women's sports in the long term? In this panel discussion, industry insiders talk about what works and what's still needed. Carol Stiff, the president of the Women's Sports Network, joins sports investor and Gotham women's soccer team governor Carolyn Tisch Blodgett and sports journalist Christine Brennan for a frank discussion about the ongoing cultural and business transformations spurred by female athletes and leagues. Tom Farrey, the executive director of the Sports and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, moderates the conversation.

    Part three of 'Twas the Night Before Bendis,. This episode is one of those conversations that starts simple and then immediately spirals—in the good way. We get into secret identities. Do they still matter? Do they work the way they used to? Are they essential to superhero storytelling, or are they a storytelling device we're all pretending still functions the same in a world of satellites, social media, and everyone live-streaming everything all the time? And once you ask that question, suddenly you're talking about everything.That leads us straight into Matt Fraction's Batman run, because of course it does. What Matt is doing with Bruce, Gotham, power, legacy, and isolation opens up exactly the kind of questions modern superhero stories should be asking. Not “how dark can it get,” but “what does this all mean now?” We talk about what works, what surprises, and why Batman—somehow—still has new angles left when the right people are behind the wheel.And then—because this is how these conversations go—we pivot to celebrating Steve Lieber, one of the absolute greats. A master storyteller. A cartoonist's cartoonist. Someone whose work quietly, consistently elevates everything it touches. We talk about why that matters, and why guys like Steve don't just support comics—they define them.From there? We discuss where the Netflix Torso adaptation project is, and  TV. Film. The state of storytelling across mediums. .

    This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts celebrate Christmas Day with Merry Little Batman, the animated holiday tale that puts the spotlight on a young Damian Wayne left alone in Wayne Manor on the most dangerous night of the year. As Gotham's rogues close in, Damian suits up to prove he can be Batman—whether his father believes it or not. The hosts break down how the film balances heartfelt holiday spirit with classic Batman chaos, explore Damian's obsession with legacy and heroism, and discuss why this surprisingly emotional Christmas story stands out among DC's animated offerings. It's festive, funny, and full of bat-shaped heart.

One is a little holiday kinda-noir from Bat legends Denny O'Neil and Frank Miller, one is a perplexing animated series style Brave and the Bold that might explain the intergalactic origins of Santa and the final is a mini-series where Batman teams up with one of the men who trained him: Kris Kringle himself.

    It's an ordinary day for Gotham's high school students as they attend a career day fair at their school. Also attending the event is Helena Wayne as a guest to talk about the law profession. The students are less than enthusiastic about the job prospects, prompting them to ask Helena what it is about her career that makes it "fun" for her. Helena answers the students' questions about the details of her job and then talks about what she "enjoys most" about it by very implicitly talking about her exploits as the Huntress. Helena gives an example of such a case by discussing an earlier exploit she made as the Huntress earlier that day - Diane Darcy Write to us at feathersandfoes@gmail.com https://wrightonnetwork.libsyn.com/website www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork Bluesky: Huestone44

    Will Rose and Kevin Schaeffer just got back from a thrilling trip to the drive-in, and they're buzzing to dive into the holiday classic, "Christmas with the Joker" from "Batman: The Animated Series." Right off the bat, they agree that this episode is a must-watch during the festive season, capturing the essence of what makes the series so iconic. They chat about how the dynamic between Batman, Robin, and the Joker is playful yet packed with that classic Batman charm—complete with clever puns and dark humor, making it a standout holiday special. With the amazing voice work from Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, they highlight how the animation and storytelling seamlessly blend into a delightful Christmas experience without losing the gritty essence of Gotham. As they reminisce about their childhoods and the nostalgia tied to this episode, they wrap up with some witty banter and even suggest fun snack pairings for your own viewing experience, proving that even in the darkest corners of Gotham, a little holiday cheer can shine through!The discussion kicks off with a nostalgic vibe as Will and Kevin dive into the holiday classic, "Christmas with the Joker" from the iconic "Batman: The Animated Series." They set the stage as if they were just chilling at a drive-in, soaking up the festive atmosphere while dissecting this beloved episode. Kevin can't contain his excitement, reminiscing about how pivotal this series was in shaping his love for all things geeky. The duo highlights the episode's seamless blend of superhero action and holiday spirit, arguing that it perfectly captures the essence of Batman and his world. They both agree that the voice work from Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill is top-notch, breathing life into their characters in a way that makes them unforgettable. They chuckle over the episode's clever puns and witty banter, pointing out how the humor feels organic rather than forced. Batman's perpetual grumpiness about the holidays is a running gag, and Robin's attempts to lighten the mood provide a delightful contrast.

The stakes are high, but the tone remains light, with Kevin and Will noting how the episode balances action with humor, allowing for a fun viewing experience without becoming overly dark or violent. They appreciate how the Joker, while certainly a nefarious character, is portrayed in a way that's more whimsical than terrifying, making him accessible for younger audiences.

Their banter is filled with playful jabs and nostalgia, creating an engaging atmosphere that keeps listeners entertained.As the conversation reaches its climax, Will and Kevin delve into the deeper meanings of the episode, reflecting on the themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the true spirit of Christmas.

    Jace and Rocky return for another Comic Boom! / Comic Source DC Spotlight for the week of December 10, 2025, kicking off with holiday updates on gift guides, Fireside Chats, and year-end scheduling before diving into a varied slate of nine DC books. They start with Action Comics #1093, where the Silver Age tone, moral dilemmas, and standout Skylar Patridge art drive a strong Superboy-focused chapter; then move into Batman and Robin #28, a top-tier issue that deepens the Quiet Man mystery, expands the Ventriloquist twist, and showcases why Phillip Kennedy Johnson's run will be so missed. In DC KO, Aquaman #12 becomes the week's breakout as Jeremy Adams and John Timms push Arthur's power set to astonishing levels in a visually explosive Hawkman showdown. Gotham by Gaslight: A League for Justice #6 gets praise for world-building but mixed reactions for a rushed, multiversal conclusion, while Supergirl #8 lands as a quiet, emotional holiday detour centered on loneliness, legacy, and the Linda-robot twist. Scott Snyder and Jock's Absolute Batman #15 earns divided reactions—Rocky loving its monstrous Joker origin while Jace ranks it lowest out of personal preference—leading into the universally panned DC KO: Wonder Woman vs. Lobo, a structurally chaotic, inconsistently illustrated, rule-breaking oddity that squanders a marquee matchup. The guys close with Green Lantern Corps #11, a strong, character-rich chapter spotlighting Ellie, Jon Stewart, Equanar's origin, and the growing Corps-wide stakes, before wrapping with Children of the Round Table #4, a well-executed setup issue introducing each magical weapon, expanding the Camelot training mythology, and dropping a sharp political twist with Mordred influencing the U.S. presidency. As always, the episode ends with full rankings, collected-edition recommendations, and reminders to catch the video on Comic Boom! and the audio on The Comic Source podcast feed.

    In this solo episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank finally sits down with the iconic animated film Batman Mask of the Phantasm after years of calling it a major Batman blind spot. He shares his deep love for Batman The Animated Series, breaks down Bruce Timm's distinctive art style, and explores why Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's performances still define Batman and Joker for entire generations. After watching the movie for the first time, Frank gives his immediate reaction, digging into Gotham's timeless look, the horror-inspired presentation of the Phantasm, and the emotional core of Bruce Wayne's struggle between vengeance and happiness. He connects the film to noir storytelling, classic Batman comics, and the larger DC animated universe, then closes with a fun run of trivia and behind the scenes facts that expand the appreciation for this fan favorite. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, Challenge Accepted format, and Frank's Batman blind spots 02:30 Bruce Timm's animation philosophy and the look of Batman The Animated Series 04:30 Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill casting stories and why their performances are iconic 06:30 Why the animated series villains work so well and why Phantasm is so intriguing 07:30 First time reaction right after watching Mask of the Phantasm 09:00 Gotham's design, red skies, and Shirley Walker's orchestral score 11:30 Phantasm as a horror figure, camera angles, and visual storytelling 18:30 Bruce Wayne at his parents' grave, the split between Bruce and Batman, and the film's central theme 25:00 Joker's reveal, color palette, and his connection to Gotham's decay 31:00 Phantasm as Batman's dark mirror and what happens when you lose yourself in the mask 34:45 Trivia, comic influences, and fun behind the scenes details Key Takeaways Batman Mask of the Phantasm fills a huge Batman blind spot for Frank and instantly earns a place alongside the best stories from Batman The Animated Series. Bruce Timm's simple musculature, straight line and curved line design, and heavy use of shading create a timeless, stylized Gotham that still holds up today. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's performances as Batman and Joker remain definitive, from Batman's grounded intensity to Joker's legendary, unsettling laugh. The film uses horror language for Phantasm, with low angles, unstoppable pacing, and ghostlike presence that make the character feel more like a slasher villain. Gotham's red skies, bold silhouettes, and Shirley Walker's orchestral score combine into a powerful atmosphere that instantly recalls 90s DC animation. The emotional core of the story is Bruce asking his parents' permission to be happy, showing how tied his mission is to their memory and how fragile that balance is. Phantasm works as a dark mirror of Batman, showing what happens when someone loses the "Bruce Wayne" part of themselves and falls fully into vengeance. Joker could technically be removed from the plot, yet his presence elevates the movie by contrasting with Gotham's world and quietly proving how smart and observant he really is. The film leans heavily into classic noir structure, complete with twists, flashbacks, and a tragic love story that feels very early 90s yet still emotionally sharp. Behind the scenes, the movie draws from comics like Batman Year One and Year Two, and includes fun sound and design Easter eggs that reward longtime fans. Quotes "That laugh is iconic. That is my childhood." "You forget how good this show is, and the movie by extension, until you see it again." "Phantasm is Batman. Phantasm is Batman." "If he didn't have that alley moment, we would have a villain, not a hero." "It's okay to love Batman. He is a great superhero, and we're so lucky they keep finding new ways to tell his story."

     November 30, 2025 – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and lifetime Long Islander, Bill Bleyer, joins us in the time machine to walk the streets of Gotham past with his book, “The Roosevelts in New York City.” Among his previous books is “Sagamore Hill: Theodore Roosevelt’s Summer White House.” The Roosevelts story in America began with Nicholas Roosevelt, a farmer who arrived four centuries ago and planted the seeds of a distinguished and impactful family ― one with ties to many places in New York City. On East 20th St. stands a recreation of the brownstone where President Theodore Roosevelt was born and developed his love of nature. The twin brownstone next door was where his uncle, Robert Roosevelt, instilled in the future president an interest in conservation, while having multiple affairs and even starting a second secret family with a mistress. The double townhouse on East 65th Street built by Sara Delano Roosevelt still stands, built so that her son, President Franklin Roosevelt, would have a suitable place to raise his family. It also allowed her, as Bill Bleyer says, to keep him tied to her apron strings while she meddled in their lives.

    For Episode 468, Cody Dericks, Nadia Dalimonte and Giovanni Lago join me for a packed week of awards season predictions as December looms around the corner and the precursors for the 98th Academy Awards officially begin. We predict the Gotham Awards, New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA), and National Board of Review (NBR) winners, along with what we believe will place in the AFI Top 10 films of the year. We also attempt to predict the likely nominees for the Critics' Choice Awards (CCA) and the Film Independent Spirit Awards. For this week's poll, in celebration of the release of "Jay Kelly," we ask: "Which Is Your Favorite George Clooney Performance?" We also reveal the winner of last week's poll, in which we asked, "Which Films Will Be Oscar-Nominated For Best International Feature Film At The 98th Academy Awards?" In addition, we share our reactions to the trailers for "How To Make A Killing" and "Goat," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more. Thank you all for listening, supporting, and subscribing.
