This time out Andy and Mike cover two more recent books. How can recent Batman comics be overlooked? Well, the guys get into that and Hush 2 comes up once or twice.

(Note: This episode was recorded in September and since that time the Hush 2 issue Andy and Mike talk about has been delayed even further. Odd that.)

Anyway, the first book the guys talk about is Detective Comics #1100. The bulk of the conversation about this issue is the first story and a lot of ground is covered. Batman's role in Gotham, why the Internet meme of Bruce Wayne doing more good donating to social causes rather than beating criminals is crap, Mike's love of dogs, Andy's wife's love of dogs, and so much more. They also talk about why they love Greg Rucka and why the last story should have been put somewhere else in the issue.

After that is a conversation about the main story from Batman #150. It was weird how both issues came together themematically. It's almost like Andy and Mike planned it that way. Which they didn't.

Andy and Mike want your feedback on this episode so they can read it on an upcoming show! You even have options in how you leave your feedback. The most direct way is to leave a comment right here on the site. You can also send all questions, concerns, fears and trepidations to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. Then there's the Facebook page, where you can also leave a Batman related question for Andy and Mike to answer at the beginning of the show. If you talk about this show on the social medias please include a #overlookeddk so the guys know where to find it.

The opening theme for the show is Superhero Intro by Stringer Bell and taken from the royalty free site Pixma Bay.

Next Time: The first of two episodes talking about Batman in the early 2000s! Andy and Mike talk about three Batman stories written by Ed Brubaker!

The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime, turns 85 this year and both Andy and Michael thought that celebrating this would be a capital idea to devote an episode of this show to celebraing his birthday. Since they just did a "Best Of" type episode to celebrate Robin's birthday, the guys decided instead to talk about the 2021 Joker series that was written by James Tynion IV because it's about the Joker.

Actually, the series is a Jim Gordon series disguised as a Joker series, which is by no means a bad thing. Andy and Mike talk about all 15 issues and the annuals and break down what they liked about the story and what they didn't. Topics include the wonky continuity of the characters, the film noir nature to the early issues, Bane, how certain characters reminded the guys of Preacher, Oracle, and, of course, the Joker.

Next Time: Andy and Mike talk about some more recent Batman stories that also serve as anniversary issues.

Travel back in time once again to hear "classic" audio!

This time out Andy and Mike finish up their extremely lazy reposting of audio that was supposed to be two episodes of Bailey's Batman Podcast and ended up being two episodes of Views from the Longbox and are now two episodes of Overlooked Dark Knight.

Ten years from now they will put it out again as two episodes of yet another show.

Anyway, the audio that time forget sees Andy and Mike wrapping up their talk about the Year One Annuals from 1995. They go over the origin of Poison Ivy, Man-Bat, The Riddler, and Robin, so a lot of the discussion revolves around those characters. There is also a lot of very positive talk about Chuck Dixon and while Andy and Mike still like his writing (go back and listen to the more recent episode about Batgirl: Year One) but they're not sure they would have been so effusive with the praise given...recent events.
