Podcast appearances and mentions of james gordon jr

Let's hear it for the boys. The Black Casebook returns with a deep dive into The Black Mirror, an Oedipal tale of fathers and sons that pits Dick Grayson, now in the role of Batman, against James Gordon Jr., reimagined here as a twisted psychopath. While Dick tangles with new threats popping up across Gotham, James sets an insidious plan into motion that could permanently infect the city with his brand of sadism.Please consider supporting Palestinians through a gift to the ⁠⁠Palestinian Children's Relief Fund⁠⁠, ⁠⁠ANERA⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Doctors Without Borders⁠⁠, or the charity of your choice.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find The Black Casebook on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@blackcasebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, on Bluesky ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@blackcasebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@blackcasebookpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and you can write in to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠blackcasebookpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to share any Bat-thoughts you have.

Intro Reminder to read The Longbox View Background James Gordon Jr. created by Frank Miller and Dave Mazzuchelli in Batman #407 (May 1987) Son of Jim Gordon and his first wife Barbara Jim Jr. was kidnapped by the Falcone crime family shortly after Jim Sr. moved to Gotham and became known as an incorruptible cop - Jim Jr. was tossed off a bridge, but saved by the new vigilante known as Batman Not much known until Black Mirror - revealed that Jim Jr. suffers from an imbalance in his amygdala, leaving him unable to process emotions in a typical manner As a young man, he liked to kill and torture animals, worrying his parents Implicated in the disappearance of one of his sister Barbara's friends, although nothing was ever proven As an adult, he attempts to reconnect with his father and sister, telling them he's on medication that helps stabilize him, and he's helping Dr. Leslie Thompkins Jim Sr. doesn't trust this, and has Barbara analyze the medication - turns out he reversed its effects, and he plans on dosing a children's nutritional facility to increase homicidal tendencies He stabs Barbara in both legs, and tells her he helped break Joker out of Arkham before the Killing Joke - makes comment that he inspired Joker to shoot Barbara in the spine Also tells Batman (Dick Grayson) that empathy makes men weak - Barbara stabs him in the eye and his father shoots him in both legs New 52 - inmate at Arkham who drugged his sister and traded her to Joker in exchange for their mother Recruited into the Suicide Squad and joined because he was in love with Amanda Waller Reformed thanks to an experimental drug, and helped defeat the Batman Who Laughs Developed a split personality obsessed with killing redheads, but when confronted by Barbara, he realized what he had done and killed himself in remorse Issues (8:17) Trauma of being kidnapped (even if he was a baby) and being a target because of his father Amygdala issues means problems processing emotions (20:08) Views empathy as making people “weak” (30:35) Break (47:17) Plugs for BetterHelp, Ocho Duro Parlay Hour, and Howard Mackie Treatment (49:00) In-universe - Use Harley Quinn to help  Out of universe - Lengthy treatment utilizing SSRIs/medication and a team of professionals (54:18) Skit (60:02) Hello James, I'm Dr. Issues. - And how long have you been a doctor? Including residency, 12 years. - In all that time, how many patients have you successfully reformed? I don't think of it in those terms. “Reformed” carries an all-or-nothing mindset. My focus is on meeting patients where they are, and helping them achieve whatever measure of success they're looking for. -So none. That's unfortunately the benchmark for your ilk. You just ignored everything I said. -No, I'm refuting your hypothesis. You were trying to set up a strawman. I just subverted you before you could get it going.  Opposite again. I would allow you to steelman...bring your greatest argument, and I can still get a positive point across. All it takes is a questioning thought, and a person's automatic system can change. -You allow others to be at their strongest and barely make a dent in their psyche. *sarcastic clap* Bravo doctor. I see you've given a lot of thought to this. Specifically, you've spent your free time on ways to make professionals expend extra effort so you can drag them to your level and beat them with experience. I hope that doesn't happen to me, but I KNOW it won't happen from one session. This is refreshing in a way, because you're so brazen about it. -*pause* I recognize the “don't argue with an idiot” cliche when I hear it. How juvenile can you be?  I'm a big kid at heart, sometimes. I know you're intelligent, so I didn't think you'd be offended by an obvious joke. If you were, then I apologize. -Shame. “Big kid” apologizing, I'm sure that draws people to your humanism, but it doesn't make them listen to your advice. It makes them question why they don't just listen to their OWN child. At least that's someone they can care about. You're insignificant to them, and they don't matter one bit to you. *Anger* Whoa, whoa...I care about my patients! I wouldn't do this job if I didn't care about each person I see. I just have my own boundaries so I don't drain myself every day. -Draining yourself...another frailty. You can't handle the basic burdens of a layperson's life. I see it. You're sweating...your skin is almost slimy, it's pathetic. I didn't come to your cell to be insulted. -*simultaneously* So where do you usually go? Aw man, that was so easy. For someone trying to knock me as weak, you still took the bait for a bad joke like that. -I learned a long time ago that finding a basic connection with someone can make future endeavors much easier with them. *pause* You don't think my field is worth it, but you're talking about future sessions? I'm missing something. -You're missing everything. This is not a session about therapy. This is a session about strategy. I tried being subtle with your kind before. It almost got me killed. I play with medicines like candy. If you let me, I could make any inmate be your most compliant patient. Suffering is the strongest motivator. Take your benzodiazepine, or drink bleach. Here's an antipsychotic...or barbed wire wrapped around your genitalia. Their choice, but either way, they're following a “treatment plan.”  *long pause* I know I'm supposed to have some big emotional reaction to what you just said, but my own warped brain doesn't allow for it. Therefore, I'll just say it plainly...torture is not a treatment modality. -But it Aaaaaaaand, for people unlike you, it's not fun. -That's the first time so far that you've correctly pre-empted me. It's likely your last, in part due to your own flaws again. I already told you, one session won't make me drained, I'm not as weak as you think. -Care to wager? *fizzing sound* GAAAAAAAAH What on Earth was that?! My arm! -That, oh doctor of medicine, is a rare toxin that absorbs rapidly through the skin. Picked up a thing or two while I shared a cell with the Joker. I believe you've met? You have a few minutes to experience all of your sensations leaving your consciousness, and put you into a state of...what was that term…”locked in syndrome?” I thought what I did to Barbara made her world slow down, but to suspend yours forever? I could've never dreamed of a better opportunity. Well, if it affects you too strongly, you'll die. Details, details. And don't worry, I know it works because I already disseminated it on the staff and guards in a less noticeable and low potency form. They're as weak as kittens right now and don't even know it.  *unintelligible whispers* -*mockingly* I'm sorry, what was that? It's hard to hear you from this end of relevance. Have you changed my thought pattern yet?  *whispers audibly* My...pen...get my pen... -Oh, that IS a fancy pen you've dropped, isn't it? Monogrammed and everything. You come across more humble than that. Looking to write a last note to loved ones, hmmm? Oh...OOOOOOH, I see, probably a backup plan for you to activate in case of emergency. I'll just keep it for myself then *zapping sound, with a thud* Or, you could activate it yourself because it is biocoded to me. -huuuuuh Oh no, no monologues, you did yours already. And I'm declining you as a patient! ***Explanation actually comes AFTER the skit for once*** Ending Recommended reading: Batman: The Black Mirror Next episodes: Shang-Chi, Crystal, Emma Frost Plugs for social References: Prosopagnosia - Anthony (28:16) BatMarch - Anthony (31:24) Joker episode - Anthony (70:55) Apple Podcasts: here Google Play: here Stitcher: here TuneIn: here iHeartRadio: here Spotify: here Twitter Facebook Patreon TeePublic Discord

We will also discuss Batman Black Mirror, The LAST storyline in the original run of Detective Comics before the New 52 reboot. ----------- This episode is sponsored by Deadly Grounds Coffee "Its good to get a little Deadly" https://deadlygroundscoffee.com Retro Dorkening Shirts on Amazon! https://tinyurl.com/dorkshirts Check out Batman: The Black Mirror https://amzn.to/3gA3GaI ----------- Special Guest: Mark Stancil Terminus Media www.terminusmedia.com mark.stancil@terminusmedia.com ----------- Published in 2011 written by Scott Snyder Art by Jock and Francesco Francavilla. Cover Price $3.99 Channelling my inner Sofia... Picture it Sicily 2011 Barack Obama was president, The Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA championship in franchise history, beating the Miami Heat 105-95. We paid a ticket price of $7.93 to go see Captain America, the First Avenger.  Fast Five, Thor, X-Men First Class and Green Lantern. On the boob tube, we watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Always Sunny, Community, Modern Family and Raising hope. If you were a kid in 2011, on Saturday Morning Cartoons were not a thing and we're sorry you missed out.  But you did get to watch Adventure Time, Thundercats (Reboot) Young Justice, Star Wars the Clone Wars and Archer. Gas cost about $3.53 a gallon,  Price William and Kate Middleton said I Do, Japan is shaken up by a 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, and the Hunger Games Books are released. The Black Mirror is a Batman storyline featuring Dick Grayson, written by Scott Snyder with illustrations by Jock and Francesco Francavilla. Following the Impostors storyline by David Hine, it's the final arc in the original run of Detective Comics before the series was rebooted into a second volume with Faces of Death during The New 52. It begins the Snyder's Batman run which is continued into Gates of Gotham and The Court of Owls. This storyline deals with the return of James Gordon Jr. after a long hiatus, reintroducing him into publication as a remorseless killer. His cold psychopathic tendencies are a sort of black mirror of the soul that Dick Grayson sees himself reflected in, they're completely at odds as the son of Batman and the son of Gotham. Snyder also introduces several new characters including The Dealer, Roadrunner, Sonia Zucco and Tiger Shark.

This week, we come to bury Zach, not to praise him, as well as discuss the various ways annuals bug us, reflect on the usage habits of James Gordon Jr, and enjoy seeing Catman again.

In this second issue of "DocTober" things get extra spoooooky talking about "Serial Killers" in the DC Universe. From A to Zsasz we break down some of DC's most frightening villains and answer questions from listeners like you! But first we tackle the latest in DC news! That's right it's time to talk NYCC and all the hot news to come out of it!    Intro theme by Aaron Barry   Prescribed Reading from Issue #18:   Batman vol. 1 #666 – 1st appearance of the Flamingo Detective Comics vol. 1 #875 – As a child, James Gordon Jr. is accused of the murder of Bess Keller, a friend of Barbara Gordon Batman Chronicles vol. 1 #3 – The origin of Victor Zsasz, as told by the serial killer himself Detective Comics vol. 1 #815-816 – After realizing that he had not killed Alfred, Zsasz goes mad knowing that his kill tally is incorrect Vigilante vol. 1 #50 – Adrian Chase, aka the Vigilante, burdened by the guilt of his many murders, takes his own life Green Arrow vol. 3 #12 – The 1st appearance of the serial killer known as Onomatopoeia

Stevil and Rob Lobster welcome you to another episode of Booked! We start off in the realm of TV, where we give some love to our co-host Katie Findlay on the massively successful debut of her new show How To Get Away With Murder. Then we move into some of the comic related debuts of the week.   Is Gotham a little too heavy handed on the references? Do we wish it was just a straight forward Gotham Central adaptation? Our hosts also ask listeners to give it a little faith past the pilot, because when has a show ever been decided by it's pilot? Also on the TNT network, a Teen Titans series has gotten the green light with Nightwing being the rumored leader. What can we expect from this? Stevil is really hoping for Cassie Sandmark.   Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also started their sophomore season, starting with a quick peek at Agent Carter. What can we expect from this prequel series? We will watch it all day if it has Dum Dum Duggan! And at the same time, can Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continue the momentum it gained in the last part of it's first season? Bring on Mockingbird!   With so much to talk about in the TV world, Stevil and Rob get into the hype on the Tick revival at Amazon, the new Supergirl series, and whether or not Ollie Queen is a smart enough adversary for Ra's Al Ghul. We also talk the sad news of the Y the Last Man movie being dead in the water. Will we ever see Yorrick's story on the big screen? Is it better suited as a TV series?   Delving into some really comic talk, our hosts talk DC's big event Future's End. What were the high points? What are the lasting ramifications of this? Addressing the rumors that all the worlds will collide, Rob has worries that the proper respect may or may not be given to fan revered timelines. Words of wisdom are also given to the Batgirl creative team: Let's move on with less James Gordon Jr. for a bit.   Finally, a loving review of a book Stevil brought to the last cast as his recommendation. Rob has finally picked up his copy of Bryan Lee O'Malley's Seconds and blew through it in four hours. This means the guys can discuss it at length, as it definitely hits home for both of them. For Rob, it bring the looming reality of his thirtieth birthday that much closer and Stevil, well, dealing with exes usually sucks, we can all relate to that, right?   So join us for some deeply nerdy comic talk and let us know what you think in the comics below. Did you pick up Seconds? Or hate Gotham? What should be done with Y the Last Man? Think about it and keep reading those panels people!
