Some of My Friends Read Comics 194 – Remembering Kevin Conroy + Knightfall #1

Instead of reading comics, we thought we’d put a focus on watching cartoons for this episode so that we could look back at some of Kevin Conroy’s best work as the voice of Batman in some of his favorite episodes.

First, we cover an episode titled “Perchance to Dream” from Batman the Animated Series where Bruce Wayne dreams of a life with his parents still alive. Then “This Little Piggy” from Justice League Unlimited, where wonder Woman gets turned into a pig and Batman has to save her.

Then we jump into Knightfall proper with the first episode of the Broken Bat Saga in Batman #492 where lots of villains have just been freed from Arkham!

All My Friends Are Right Here 054 – Ranking the Batman Movies

amfarh-054

On this week’s Batman Super-Spectacular, we rank all nine of the theatrically released Batman films!  That means the 60’s Batman: The Movie, the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher quartet, and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, plus the animated Mask of the Phantasm.

Our panel of Bat-experts decides the best Batman movie and the worst Batman movie.  We also decide the best & worst Batman actor and the best & worst Bruce Wayne actor (and they’re not necessarily the same!).  And…find out which Batman movie taught Richard about the existence of the United Nations!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 021 – Batman: Mad Love

All around me are the Batman’s cases: Joker chases, makeup faces.

Harley Quinn just wants the Joker’s embraces. Plays her Aces, schemes take places.

And this comic’s kinda funny, this comic’s kinda sad.

The panels where she’s dreaming are the best I’ve ever had.

We liked Paul Dini’s writing. And Bruce Timm’s art was great.

Like the animated series, it’s a very very… Mad Love.
