Gotham Podcast: Bryan Q. Miller One-Shot

Hello Gothamites,

Bryan Q. Miller of comic book writing fame sits down with the two guys that record this podcast. Bryan talks about his experiences with the DC Relaunch, the final issues of his Batgirl run, what some of his future plans are, and his debut as a pop music superstar.

Updates and Absolute Long Halloween Deal on Thwipster

Hey all,

Just wanted to drop in and let you know that we will be coming back for sure as soon as the DC Relaunch takes off. Unfortunately, Tim has left the podcast, but the good news is that Justin, the original second half of the podcast has returned, which is awesome! Justin was a little behind on some of the books, so that's why we're waiting for the relaunch first. However, I'll probably cut a short goodbye to a lot of the books next weekend to just kind of address all the ending books, and believe me, we're just as sad about those books ending as a lot of you are.

Hello Gothamites!

My name is Hunter, and you've just reached the place to listen to two guys talk about Batman and Batman related things! On this episode, Tim and myself talk about 3 weeks worth of comic books, answer YOUR questions, AND tell you what comes out NEXT "week". You've been warned Gothamites. We're doing all of this FOR "SCIENCE"!

We talk comics! Batman related comics to be exact. Reviews and a pull list are what  you'll find in this episode. Also, in our ongoing quest, we finally figure out in what universe Batman Beyond is set!

Gotham Central #118 AKA "DOOMSDAY"

Here's the episode where we whine for 40 minutes about Post-Flashpoint DCU! YAY! Also, we talk Gotham City Sirens and Detective Comics, and mention the books for June 1, 2011, but who cares about that!?

This is a sort of special episode, so there are no listener questions or segments where we talk about what we read or bought. That's right! 100% moaning! WOOO!

Come hate with us!

The Worst Panels From Last Week's Comics

Those that listen to our podcast will know what I'm talking about, but just in case you don't, these two panels come from Outsiders #34, which is easily one of the worst comic books I've ever read. And while it's so terrible, I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it is.

Welcome Gothamites!

My Timmy is sick this week, so I made him record anyway! But either way, we talk about stuff including what books to read to get into Batman, delays in the comic book world, and Dark Knight Rises news and questions! We also talked about all the books that came out this week!

Lady GaGa is Batman

File this under "How Did I Miss This?" It's Lady GaGa proclaiming that she is Batman! It's at around 1:30, and it's amazing.

Book of the Week: Batgirl - The Flood

We're trying something a little new, Gothamites, so bear with us for a moment as we introduce a new feature. The Gotham Book of The Week is a spotlight on the website that focuses on a different trade or hardcover that we want to talk about, whether it be a new release or an oldie, but goodie, it's just a way to show our love for a title.

And this week, I wanted to talk a little bit about Batgirl: The Flood trade paperback that was released last week to comic book stores, and is hitting mainstream book stores this Tuesday, May 24, 2011!

Batman: LIVE! TV Spots Released To The World

These are absolutely ridiculous.





Are excited for Batman: Live? It looks absolutely insane to me, which is not actually a bad thing.

This is BANE

No, not that BANE! This Bane!

Click To Make Big

So, Tom Hardy as Bane, huh? Looks pretty cool to me. After seeing this, it will be hard for anyone to argue that Hardy doesn't have the look to pull of the man that broke The Bat. I, however, am disappointed with the lack of luchador in his look, and I honestly can't understand why they didn't go full mask with this, unless this is some sort of muzzle-type mask.


But honestly, the picture isn't the most exciting news here. To me, the most exciting part is how this was revealed. The promo picture of Tom Hardy as Bane from the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises was released to the public through viral marketing. If you tweeted the phrase "#thefirerises", your twitter avatar would go into the creation of the above picture, and if anyone remembers the viral marketing campaign from The Dark Knight, then you should know we have a lot more in store.

I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman: Cacophony (2008)

Uh, yeah. Hi. Me again. You know how I always warn you that I'm not a Batman fan, but here's my review of a certain story? That goes double for this one. I don't even really know where to start. In 2008, Kevin Smith and Walt Flanigan put together Batman: Cacophony. It was a very short 3 issue miniseries but it got lots of fanfare (you may recall an obscure little film called The Dark Knight was also released that year). When a co-worker let me borrow his copy of it this weekend, I knew I had to review it for the site.

Batgirl Contest!

It's not from us, it's from our good friend over at DC Women Kicking Ass! On one of our favorite Tumblr blogs focusing on DC Women and how they kick ass, they are holding an exclusive and awesome Batgirl contest to celebrate their first year anniversary, as well as the release Batgirl: The Flood! But let's move on to what you get and what you have to do.

Batman: Out of Context

(Moore/Nicieza, Derenick/Geraci)

I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman #251 (1973)

Greetings, Good Gothamites! It is I, Frank of the non-Bat Believers. Here I am once again to give a non-fan's perspective and desecrate the name of Caped Crusader whose image is printed all over those flanel pajamas you're wearing! (Very becoming, by the way.) In case you missed it, last time I talked about my introduction to Batman with the 1966 Adam West feature film. This time around, I've been given an assignment by the man with the bearded FAC3: Batman #251 a.k.a. The Joker's Five Way Revenge! It's a classic tale of the Joker's merciless ways and Batman's perseverance in chasing him down.

WARNING: Spoilers lie ahead! You've been warned!

I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman (1966)

Well hey there, Gotham! The name’s Frank. I’ve been a follower of the Gotham Podcast (or Gotham Central, or Gotham Inc., or Got Ham, or whatever they’re calling it this week) since it first began, and it’s a pleasure to finally be writing a column for the site! Growing up, I never considered myself a Batman fan. Superman always was and always will be my favorite hero. Take a moment to absorb it. Pick up those Batarangs you just threw at your screen. Feeling better? Ready to move on? Good!

BATGIRL WEEK: Before The Cowl

Flashpoint: Casino Bat Action Figure

Okay, so.. Flashpoint is coming. It's DC's big event this year, and it basically centers around Professor Zoom going back and changing a lot of key factors in the DC Universe, and one of the teasers we got earlier on was "He spends his days running Wayne Casinos." Which I thought, cool, y'know.. I'm down for some re-imagining of Bruce Wayne, and I like the idea of not having him as Batman, then I saw this..

WHAT THE ????

The 7 Most Insane Events From Batman: Odyssey #6

Everyone knows that Neal Adams' Batman: Odyssey make little, to no sense, but you may not know why exactly it makes no sense. Well, it's for the benefit of those brilliant people out there that are choosing to skip this book, that we bring to you this new monthly (or whenever it decides to come out) feature that focuses on the most insane things that happen in the book. We here at at Gotham, Inc. read this book, so you don't have to.

The Cover Alone is Crazy.

In a book where every single panel is completely insane, and when the storyline makes no sense at all, it's pretty difficult not to just scan the entire book and upload it, but we were able to hammer it down to a somewhat reasonable number.

I can't really tell you what this book is about sense I really have no clue, at all, but it's completely out of character for Batman and Ra's Al Ghul is responsible for everything. That's all you need to know about this book.
