And with him, he's brought many wonderful gifts from the land of DC Comics, proprietor of the most popular superhero the world has ever seen.......that's right.......and episode devoted entirely to........BOOSTER GOLD! Just kidding, it's Batman. Y'know, the guy what has the pointy ears. That's right, for this episode, Alex curated a collection of six issues of Batman comics and took Emily and Jean-Luc on a tour of the caped crusader from his inception, to his goofy silver age period, to the gritty, serious detective we know today. He chose: Detective Comics #27: The Case of the Chemical Syndicate, Batman #188: The Eraser Who Tried to Rub Out Batman (I have also tried this), Batman #251: The Joker's Five Way Revenge (I would like to try this), Batman and Robin #1: Batman Reborn, Batman (2016) #37: Superfriends, part 2 and Batman #125: Failsafe part 1.Next, on Crying in the Book Club: The show takes a turn for the cyberpunk, as Emily takes Alex and Jean-Luc on a trip to Japan for the first four volumes of the 1990 manga series Battle Angel Alita.Our theme song was composed by our wonderful friend Gwyn.
