DC Secret Files Podcast Vol. IV: The Untold Legend of the Batman

 WordPress ✪ Spotify ✪ Internet Archive ✪ YouTube ✪ 🍏podcasts ✪

The fourth episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case, podcrasher Captain Entropy, to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about 1980’s The Untold Legend of the Batman #1-3, by Len Wein, Jim Aparo, and John Byrne; as well as a host of other talents on the main and supplemental stories. Plus we cover YOUR feedback!
