Dave and I are all alone this week but we still have plenty of fun talking about 1982's The Untold Legend of the Batman. The book is way more ridiculous than I remember it being.
I am still laughing thinking about Joe Chill getting away from Batman somehow when Batman confronts him in his office. Man, does Batman ever screw that up.
Next week we are reading/discussing Faith Erin Hicks' The Nameless City. See you then!
We are joined this week by our friend Sean Jordan, aka Wordburglar, and also Alex Kennedy, who we unfortunately did not have a microphone for. We had a good time talking about issue #4 of The Last Paper Route, the comic that is made by Sean, Alex and Dave. We also talked about DCAF, which happened this past weekend, Sean's new album, Rhyme Your Business, Ghost Rider (the 2007 movie), and, of course, our book club selection, VisionQuest, by the lovable John Byrne.
Here is the photographic evidence that Dave did indeed pay Sean $5 to settle their bet that Dave would never watch Ghost Rider.
Well, that's over.
On to VisionQuest!
Here is that panel of Captain America excitedly running out the door when he heard the ADVENTURE ALARM!
And here's Scarlet Witch with a hairpin in her mouth, which I am obsessed with:

Next week we will be talking about The Untold Legend of The Batman! Don't miss it!
It's our 150th episode and...due to scheduling issues, we have postponed all of our 150th episode stuff until next week. BUT we read a really good book for our bookclub this week!
If you are in the area, come on down to DCAF this Sunday! It's a great little festival and totally free!
Another week of our summer book club and this week we are talking about Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic's Thor masterpiece, The God Butcher / Godbomb. I love this story so much.
Here is the new Wordburglar video!
Sean will be joining us next week to celebrate our 150th episode! We will be talking about John Byrne's West Coast Avengers story, Vision Quest, and watching the Ghost Rider movie.
See you then!
Oh man. I hope you guys are ready for some RIDICULOUS NONSENSE.
If it were up to me, every episode of the podcast would be about Bob Haney's wonderful 1970s creation, the Super Sons.
I have written about the Super Sons a couple of times on this blog. Here are some links, if you would like to see some panels:
Crazy in Love: the Saga of the Super Sons (Jan 2007)
Gigantic Fun with the Super Sons (Aug 2007)
Oh, Super Sons.
And here is that panel of Superman Jr. carrying Batman Jr. like a platter:
I mean, what the hell, Batman Jr? You can't swim?
I'll bet the sex they have is NUTS.
Alright, see you next week for THOR!!!!
We're back! Are you ready for another installment of the Living Between Wednesdays summer book club?
We read the first Hellboy omnibus, which is basically perfect in every way.
We also talk about all the news from SDCC (well, some of the news, anyway), and about James Gunn, which is a whole confusing thing.
Next week we are talking about my beloved Super Sons! HANEY 4 LIFE!!!!!
Living Between Wednesdays is a place for people who love comic books and superheroes.
