 It's all well and good talking about comics, but they are obviously a visual medium.  Therefore, to accompany each episode we'll also do a little blog post with some images and other extras to give you some context as to what on earth we're talking about! 

The first of 3, in a 2 part series that went awry, exploring Batman's origins and ups and downs from the 1930's to the current day.

Plus what Mike and Lee have read this week and another addition to the Comics or Death Museum.
