    YEAR OF THE BAT Part Ten: Zero Year - One Dark Night

    THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE! The Book Club Bois continue ZERO MONTH by diving into a collection of anthology stories in the latest chapter of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s BATMAN!

As Bruce suits up to help save his city, our story shifts its gaze to those on the ground (and in the air!) - those who were not yet heroes but answered the call to help others in need. Clark Kent. James and Barbara Gordon. Jason Todd. Luke Fox. John Stewart. Oliver Queen. Dick Grayson. One day, they’ll be heroes… if they can survive ONE DARK NIGHT!

    PATREON PREVIEW! With the YEAR OF THE BAT well underway, did you know we're doing BONUS episodes on the Patreon? Each month we're doing a bonus Cookout highlighting other Bat-Family books we can't fit into the season! So for your listening pleasure, we're providing this look into what you can expect on those episodes with our latest installment of The Cookout Extra Credit! -------------------- This is a special one, folks. Malcolm and Aeric are joined at Cookout Headquarters by Dylan Roth, famously of The Pod Universe (formerly of Are You Afraid of the Dark Universe), to talk up one of Dylan's favorite subjects: lesbians. Also, Kate Kane, military stuff, the 2000s, painted art, and honestly not enough talk about how Bette Kane shows up in this book and is an underrated DC character. Warning: the audio does shift around the 47 minute mark, due to technical difficulties. Like hearing Dylan's gorgeous voice? Go check out The Pod Universe, where he and his friend and creative partner Dalton Deschain are creating a brand new original sci-fi movie universe/franchise! https://www.youtube.com/@thepoduniverse/videos (And peep their merch at https://shop.thepoduniverse.com/en-usd/collections/all , and their own Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/posts/welcome-to-pod-142750044 [Malcolm is already a loyal member, salute emoji])!
