#18 - Comics with Catch-Up!




Positively Nerdy show

Summary: Welcome to a very special Halloween edition of Comics with Catch-Up on Positively Nerdy!  This time around I am joined by none other than Dylan Cook, the host of 'What The Shell?' the TMNT podcast, to discuss the 'forgotten' Batman story: The Long Halloween.  Dylan and I both believe it is a tragedy that this story is not more commonly referred to as the quintessential Batman epic we believe it to be.  Dylan and I discuss this murder-mystery from top to bottom (without ever spoiling the mystery!) from the art of Tim Sale and the once-great writing of Jeph Loeb to the variety of super-villain appearances and even the dark decent into Batman's psyche.  And if you love Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' we share how much that film borrowed from this story.  The Long Halloween is not only a must read Halloween story but a must-read Batman classic and that's why we celebrate it
