This podcast applies Anthony’s same style from his Superman podcast, Digging for Kryptonite. He discusses stories as a whole, digging into greater themes and character arcs without getting bogged down by issue to issue recaps. I’m just as big a Batman fan as a Superman fan, so I’m excited to listen to upcoming episodes on stories I’ve read and get exposed to new ones. Here’s me hoping for Batman: The Cult 🤞 and a crossover with my other favorite Batman podcast, the Batman Book Club with Ryan Lower. P. S. Lighting the Bat Signal is a better name than what I had in mind: Digging for Dead Parents
Knox would be proud

On the heals of several successful podcasts, including the seminal Superman podcast, Anthony Desiato tackles the Caped Crusader in his newest podcast offering. Anthony brings his fresh perspective to podcast topics and invites a diverse array of guests to share their own insights into that topic at hand. Knowing how thorough and thoughtful he’s been producing past offerings, I have little doubt this new podcast will quickly become a fan favorite for even the casual Batman fan.
Anthony does it again!
