It's BAT-TIME again! On this BAT-BONUS episode Matt and special guest co-host Matthew Dow Smith (writer/artist of THE OCTOBER GIRL, DC's MISFITS OF MAGIC) get grossed out by having to inhabit corpses in order to hide from an Aztec mummy death cult while talking about 1996's BATMAN #530.

As Batman and Deadman teamup to solve a mystery, Matt is hoping that no one notices he forgot the word "podcast" in the show's intro, while Matthew wishes characters where allowed to be aged out and replaced.

Plus, because this is a very topical and timely podcast the winners of the 1996 Comic Buyer's Guide Fan Awards are discussed.

Beware the mummy (and Batman's pointy ears)!

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Eric Shonborn act like a couple of dudes who've had their minds bombed as they discuss 1996's CARNAGE: MIND BOMB.

While the writer of this comic may be a reprehensible human, the artist is the incredibly talented Kyle Hotz - so Eric and Matt spend much of the episode heaping richly-deserved praise on him and his work.

Also, Matt makes it VERY obvious that he has no idea how podcasts work, while Eric tells a great story about meeting Kyle Hotz (that Matt immediately tramples all over because he wants to talk about the Ultraverse character Nightman).

Make sure to listen to the entire episode because it ends in possibly the most baffling way imaginable.

On this episode Matt sits down with BATMAN (1989) screenwriter Sam Hamm to talk about his first foray into comic book writing with 1989's "Blind Justice" (originally published in DETECTIVE COMICS #'s 598-600).

Sam discusses the differences between writing Batman for the big screen versus the printed page, while Matt tries to remain composed and not embarrass himself in front of Sam FREAKING Hamm! Spoiler alert: Matt does not succeed.

Also, does Batman need a Robin at his side? And has the truly evil mastermind in Batman's world been hiding in plain sight all along? Sam has answers to those questions that you will not want to miss!
