If you're of a particular age, the summer of 1989 holds special meaning for you. Specifically, you were almost certainly completely obsessed with Tim Burton's Batman starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The film redefined superhero movies for a generation, was a relentless blockbuster at the box office, and kicked off a wave of Batmania that left no merchandising stone unturned well beyond that fateful summer.But at the heart of that film is Nicholson's stunning Joker performance. And one of the elements that makes it so memorable is how it marked the first time that the Joker was depicted in live action as a brilliant, but murderous chemist, just as he was in his very first comics appearance back in 1940. Joker spends the second half of the movie holding Gotham City hostage via “Smilex” a deadly nerve toxin that leaves its victims with a hideous post-mortem grin on their faces.These kinds of weaponized poisons are nothing new in the real world, but it's the specific combination of effects that Smilex creates that make it so notable. We're taking a look at the real world parallels, including some disturbingly high profile terrorist attacks that would have made the Joker proud. In the process, we also examine just how this movie's approach to live action superheroics (and supervillainy) changed everything on the big screen.Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here or check it out on our YouTube page!SUGGESTED VIEWING Of course, you must watch Batman (1989). But here's a friendly reminder that we also covered one of Tim Burton's other great films, the original Beetlejuice, on an episode of Does it Fly? recently, and you should absolutely check it out right here.And while the rules of the Joker toxin as we discuss them in this episode apply specifically to this particular Batman movie it's been around in other media, too. Notably, a generally less lethal version made a few appearances on the classic Batman: The Animated Series, which is always worth a watch, especially now that gorgeous remastered versions are available on HBO Max. A few to consider that might scratch your Smilex-induced itch…“The Last Laugh” (S1E15) It's primarily laughing gas here, but you know what it's supposed to be.“Almost Got ‘Im” (S1E35)A case can be made that this is the best episode of the series, even though the Joker and his attendant poison only feature in one segment of it.“The Laughing Fish” (S1E46)Based on several classic issues of the comics (more on one of them down below) this is probably the closest you'll get to the lethality of the original toxin in animated form.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! VX Nerve AgentWe're bringing this up here in part because of the extraordinarily well-documented (and almost Joker-esque) assassination of Kim Jong-Nam in 2017. The murder was carried out using VX, a nerve agent and banned chemical weapon that is considered one of the most deadly and fast-acting out there. Let the CDC fill you in, because trust us, you want no part of this stuff.The Animal Kingdom and Joker Venom“There is no venomous animal on the planet that could do [everything the Joker Venom does]. Having said that, there are components of different animal venoms in the animal kingdom that could, in combination. My understanding of the Joker is that he's quite a smart chemist, so it would be possible to extract the components from those venoms and put them all together.”More on this subject from Professor Jamie Seymour can be found here.Now, about that “recipe” (do not do this)...You'd want a little venom from the box jellyfish, known as one of the deadliest marine animals. A pinch of cone snail venom. And perhaps a dash of the blue-ringed octopus' fatal defense mechanism.2001 Anthrax MailingsA somewhat Joker-esque crime that terrorized an entire nation involved the mailings of lab grown anthrax to high profile politicians and journalists in the autumn of 2001. No less than the FBI itself has a wealth of resources on this incredibly bizarre case.The Source MaterialFor those who want to dive a little deeper into the comics, there are two key stories to consider. Note that the idea of Joker injecting victims with a toxin that causes them to die smiling was introduced in his very first appearance, way back in Batman #1 (1940). But for much of the character's criminal career after that he was comparatively harmless…that is, until 1973's Batman #251 which brought back the idea of the Joker as a murderer with a penchant for unique chemistry, in a brilliant tale called “The Joker's Five-Way Revenge” by the legendary creative team of Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams. This story, along with “The Laughing Fish” and “The Sign of the Joker” from Detective Comics #475-476 by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers also formed the basis of the similarly named Batman: The Animated Series episode above. Since then, well…it's been around a lot, but these are the two real historical keys for those who can't get enough!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Shortly after the success of Batman, Disney tried to replicate it with The Rocketeer.

Jason and Amir continue their reading of Mr. Miracle comics with a look at issue #22 by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers, and #23 by Steve Gerber and Michael Golden. The guys agree that issue #22 is an odd issue, delivered quickly, and which doesn't contain great takes on the characters - "Steven Segal on a revenge story", as Amir says. The issue does, however, include gorgeous art by Marshall Rogers. Then issue #23 is Steve Gerber classic, a comic that is very true to the Gerber legacy with his customary humorous/introspective writing, which is perfect for this wild and fascinating issue. And the Michael Golden art in this issue is spectacular.

Jason and Amir continue their reading of Mr. Miracle comics with a look at issues #20 and 21 by Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers and Vince Colletta. The guys agree that Rogers's art is magnificent and fun (though the Colletta inks kind of take away from it) but that Englehart just does not get what makes the relationship between Barda and Scott work. So these are pretty good issues but not the best. Oh, and Jason the comics historian delivers a digression about how Marvel and DC both almost went out of business in the '70s. This episode is 35 minutes of fascinating, entertaining listening we think you'll enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/classiccomics/support
Okay, we've read the Jack Kirby take on Mr. Miracle, and we've read the Tom King - Mitch Gerads take on Mr. Miracle, but what about the versions that came between those two? Today Amir and Jason start to fill that gap, as they begin a four-part look at the late 1970s look at the great hero of New Genesis with Mr. Miracle #19 by Steve Englehart, Marshall Rogers and a host of inkers. Amir and Jason enjoy the comic well enough but they miss Kirby -- and even more, they miss Barda.

Eric Hoffman and Jason Sacks have been fans of DC Comics' 1980s take on the Shadow for a long time. With an introductory four-parter by Howard Chaykin and a follow up series by writer Andrew Helfer and artists Bill Sienkiewicz, Marshall Rogers and Kyle Baker, the comic looked great for its time. But does it still stand up today? Eric and Jason ponder what evil lurks in the hearts of men in the first of a two-part look at that comic series. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/classiccomics/support
Did Batman '89 Rip Off Strange Apparitions? For years, writer Steve Englehart has claimed that the 1989 Batman film cribbed from his 1978 run with Marshall Rogers, commonly known as Strange Apparitions and most famously known for The Laughing Fish. In a special Halloween episode, we bring on recurring guest Zack Brown (https://www.instagram.com/zacharyjacksonbrownart/) to analyze the classic comic and answer the question, “Did Batman 1989 Rip off Strange Apparitions?” Also features the opening Halloween sketch “A Wizard In Need Is A Corpse Indeed” with Andrew as The Indeed Wizard, Ben as the Kevin Conroy Batman, and Zack as both The Cryptkeeper and Vampire Joker! Zack also provided us with this Nicholson vampire Joker as well.

Robin & Batgirl are The Dynamite Duo!! We travel back into the Bronze Age to explore the early flirtations between Batman's most magnificent sidekicks. Was it love at first sight? Were Dick Grayson & Barbara Gordon destined to end up together? We answer these questions by exploring four specific issues within the mondo bizarro anthology series "Batman Family." We certainly could not make heads or tails out of this romance without the help of Dr. Roberta M. Gilbert and her self-help guide, "Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions." We all need to recognize the hot emotions bubbling beneath our surfaces, but maybe none more so than the Boy Wonder - scratch that - the Teen Wonder. Issues covered in this episode: "Batman Family" #1, #11, #13, & #15. These comics were published between 1975 - 1978 and were written by Elliot S. Maggin & Bob Rozakis, penciled by Mike Grell, Don Newton, Marshall Rogers, & Lee Elias, and inked by Bob Wiacek & Joe Giella. Be sure to follow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter @CBCCPodcast, and you can follow the hosts @MouthDork & @sidewalksiren.
The New Look Batman Knightcast continues as Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin review DETECTIVE COMICS #471 and #472. In the aftermath of his battle with Doctor Phosphorous (DoPho from now on), the Dark Knight Detective seeks medical treatment at an exclusive facility...and walks right into the trap of an evil mad scientist thought to be dead for years! The Steve Englehart era kicks into high gear when penciller Marshall Rogers and inker Terry Austin jump on board. Are you ready to join them? Let us know what you think!

Red alert! Red Alert! James and James are talking viruses, they're talking Detectives, Inc., they're talking Batmanga, they're talking regional politics, and they're talking cream corn. "I won't let you take them from me! I won't!" "I won't."
In this episode we discuss the Wild Cards Comic Books, vols 1-4. Show Notes These show notes are short and sweet, like we like our men. Jay does indeed wet the bed in Dead Man's Hand, after his Lovecraftian nightmare. No mention of rubber sheets there, though. Whether he is a habitual bedwetter is still unconfirmed. That milk ducts image isn't real, but they should still use it in the show. You have homework: watch Watchmen on Netflix, and watch The Boys on Amazon Prime. We are planning some episodes for those, maybe just for backers. Yep, our Patreon backers also get early access to all episodes, and special bonus episodes! So please back us at https://www.patreon.com/acesjokerspod THANK YOU Angeleah and Warren for being top tier Puppetmen backers. General Notes The only author consistently credited to these Wild Cards comic books is Lewis Shiner, though any author who created a particular character is credited too. Artists who worked on these issues were: Barry Kitson, Harry Candelario, Keith Williams, Jackson Guice, Marshall Rogers, Fred Fredricks, Lee Weeks, Tom Yeates, Michael Bair, Tim Truman, Larry Stroman, Doug Potter, Mark Nelson, Al Williamson, John Tartaglione, Mickey Ritter, Gray Morrow, Al Ramirez , Paul Mounts, Sam Parsons, Joseph Chiodo and John Van Fleet.

Justice's First Dawn: A Classic Justice League of America Podcast
Great... Now Batman is taking over THIS podcast TOO?!? Actually, as a late Christmas gift to friend of the show, John Moret, we're talking about a fun non-official Justice League of America adventure that was told mostly as backups in the first five issues of the "Detective Comics" section I'm talking about, and cumulates in one entire issue for the ending! So, what threat serves to unify the League in another book? Would you believe... The debuting Calculator? (Just don't type out 8008 on his chest piece...) With artwork by Mike Grell, Ernie Chan and the debuting Marshall Rogers, the inks of Terry Austin, and the fun writing of Bob "Answer Man" Rozakis, how can you go wrong?!? Now if you would please operate your own special chest key to activate your powers to send some email my way! The best place to send it would be justicesfirstdawning@gmail.com, and thanks as always for your time and enjoyment!

Does the world prefer a kinder, gentler Batman, or the grim brooding type. Steve Englehart & Marshall Rogers created the 1970's Batman: Dark Detective arc, which became in part the basis for the 1987 Batman film. Word Balloon Podcast Host John Siuntres continues his spring cleaning of the WB podcast archives, and presents this 2005 conversation with writer Steve Englehart.As the new Batman film gets closer, and Ed Brubaker continues to make headlines with his run on Captain America , the tining seemed right to re-post this talk with Englehart who put his mark in the same heroes in the 1970's.First they discuss Englehart and Marshall Rogers signature Batman story Dark Detective: The Laughing Fish and it's 2005 sequel Dark Detective 2 .Then they look at the 1973 Captain America Secret Empire Arc. A controversial story, whose villain appeared to be the then sitting president Richard Nixon.Finally, they talk about Steve's runs on The Defenders, Avengers , creating Night-Man for Malibu comics, and his creator owned character for Eclipse comics, Coyote .
