The Road to Episode 100 Part 3 – Bat Flashback – Episode 2 – The “Untold” Legend of the Batman

The road to episode 100 continues with another Bat Flashback!

This particular flashback takes us back all the way to the second episode. Andy and Mike talked about issues 2 and 3 of The Untold Legend of the Batman. Topics include the origins of Robin, the Joker, Batgirl, and Two-Face. We also learn about how this version of Batman became friends with Jim Gordon and how Alfred came to live with Bruce and Dick. There’s even some fun stuff about who was building the Batmobile back in the Bronze Age. For grins, Mike included some audio from the book-on-tape version of this story because, shockingly, there was a book-on-tape version of this story.

Below are the covers and select pages from the comics discussed in this episode.

It may not seem like it, but Andy and Mike do like feedback even if they are crap at getting to it. The most direct way to do this is to email them, which you can do by directing your thoughts to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. You can also leave a comment over on their Facebook page. You can also leave a comment at the new web home of the show, The Bailey Planet.

Next Time: The march towards episode 100 concludes with episode 100! Andy and Mike promise an episode that will break the Internet in half! Actually they don’t, but it is a fun episode.

About Michael Bailey...

Husband. Pet dad to two mentally unstable poodles. Podcaster, but not the alpha-bro kind. Amateur Superman historian. Semi-Professional writer. Leap baby.

Mission Statement

The Bailey Planet is a lot of things. Part blog. Part journal. Part ramblings of a middle-aged man that is semi-retired as a comic book reader and collector. Part second home for the podcasts I host or co-host. Part archives for stuff I’ve scanned over the years. Part archives for anything related to The Death and Return of Superman.

It’s a lot of things.

As the graphic states, the focus will be Superman, Batman, and more. The more can be just about anything to do with comics and super-heroes. Expect more DC content than Marvel, but it’s not off the table.

Featured Pages

Patreon

I have a Patreon. It is essentially a tip jar for the moment, so I can’t promise exclusive content, but if you could chip in $1 a month that would help the cost of this site and the podcasts I produce. If you can’t, that’s cool. I know times are hard.
