Wow, the Bat turns 85 this year. That is 85 years of different artists, writers, and readers gaining a knowledge and understanding of what Batman has meant to them.

On this episode, we will speak towards that evolution of Batman. How he went from a detective, to a weekly serial, to a master detective, a great animated television series, strategist, and eventually, Bat God.

He is the triumph of the human spirit who never gives up.

We also touch base on the balance of having that darkness, needing some light with Superman and Wonder Woman which make up the Trinity (No, not Neo's lady).

Also also, John takes us down the animation rabbit hole mentioning a couple of movies that have really piqued his interest. What are they? Well, you got to listen to find out.

Three dudes talk about cool shit in regards to art, comics, movies, pop culture, and a menagerie of other goodies. We will sing our praises of what we love, and might touch on a few things that left us feeling a little meh.
