Customer Reviews
Perfect for the new Batman comic reader
I grew up obsessed with the animated series, movies, and Arkham video games. I needed something to do during the ✨pandemy✨and picked up year one after I stumbled upon this podcast. This pod is partially to blame for the absurd amount of money I have spent on floppys and trades after nearly 25 years of not having a comic collecting hobby. This pod is seriously that good. Since then, I have worked through the Batman mythos and listened to Ryan and the gang break down the stories that have inspired all of the on screen versions that I fell in love with years ago. TBBC is an excellent companion to suggested reading orders from Reddit/the interwebs. 10/10
Perfect reading guide for all things Batman
This podcast got me into actually reading comics after being a huge Batman animated series and movie fan. Have followed along and read every book covered after having barely read anything before. Highly recommend.
Perfect for all Batman fans and a great intro to comic books
Im a huge superhero fan but had really only watched movies and shows, this podcast got me to read my first comic, Ryan’s favorite: The Long Halloween, and I fell right in love. I’ve listened to every single episode and listen to each new one that comes out. I can’t recommend this show enough, Ryan Lower does an amazing job and all his guest stars are wonderful.
