Episode 103 - Man-Bat 1, Fans 0

Welcome back to The Overlooked Dark Knight, the show where Andrew Leyland and Michael Bailey shine a light on Batman stories people tend to…overlook.

It's right there in the name.

This time out Andy and Mike continue their look at one of Batman's weirder antagonists...Man-Bat!

Sort of.

To be fair, the guys do spend the first half of the episode talking about Man-Bat #1, which reads more like a Doctor Strange story, thanks in no small part because of the art of Steve Ditko. The problem is that the issue is kind of a mess. Actually it's a big mess. It's such an odd duck of a comic and the guys might get a little snarky at times, but it's all in good, clean, four color fun.

The second half of the episode is made up of tangents that somehow Mike and Andy bring back to the issue.

This is an odd one. Hopefully in a good way.

It may not seem like it, but Andy and Mike do like feedback even if they are crap at getting to it. The most direct way to do this is to email them, which you can do by directing your thoughts to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. You can also leave a comment over on their Facebook page. You can also leave a comment at the new web home of the show, The Bailey Planet.

Next Time: Andy and Mike take a look at the various Batman issues ones from over the years.
