Erasing the Past (Batman 188)
Batman faces a dappily-dressed menace from his past - apparently not dapper enough to be on Gotham's Ten Best-Dressed List, but that's another story! (Literally. It's another story right in this very same issue.) PLUS learning to shave, the return of Irene Vartanoff, and so much more!
Customer Reviews
Super fun show
I started listening think it would be just a summary of older comic books. Which it is. But it is so much more! These two are super fun to listen to. Great show. Definitely recommend it to any comic book fan, or just someone wanting something different. You will laugh and learn about older comic books.
Wide variety and fun stories both real and in the comics
Fun hosts and I enjoy the stories they tell both about the comics . And in there own daily lives .
This show it like a box of chocolates I never know what I’m gonna get but it will be fun no matter what .
See latter space cowboy 🤠
Introduced me to comic books!
Never in a million years did I think I’d listen to a podcast about comic books, let alone fall crazy in love! Dr. Bobb and Dr. Husband are just a lot of fun. Thanks!
