Legends of the BatmanWelcome to episode 19 of Legends of the Batman, the show covering everything Batman — from the beginning! The show’s premise is a simple one. Each episode, we cover a month (or so) of Batman, be it comic books, television, movies, whatever, starting with his first appearance in 1939.

“Guess who just got back today… them wild-eyed boys that had been away. Haven’t changed, haven’t much to say. But man, I still think them cats are crazy.” That’s right, folks! Michael Kaiser and Michael Bradley are back with a brand new episode! After catching up on why they left, where they’ve been and all the news that’s happened in the interim, the guys dive into DETECTIVE COMICS #44, which find the Batman and Robin crossing paths with giants and elves as they enter “The Land Behind the Light!”

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode 60 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

Professor Clarence Cobalt cooks up copious chicanery at his crooked clinic of quackery as Michael looks at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #26. Superman makes a two-fold return to his social justice roots to deal with a pair of phony doctor — and prevent his victims from enacting their own brand of justice in this classic Golden Age tale.

QUOTABLE:
What were bars created for — except for Superman to bend!

The Man of Tomorrow returns to the once-called “World of Tomorrow” as Michael looks at the Superman story from the 1940 issue of NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR COMICS. It’s a quintessential story of the Golden Age Superman, with jewel thieves, Lois in trouble and Superman flying — yes, flying — in for the save. Also, Michael looks at other events from the World’s Fair Superman, including Superman Day and the first public appearance of Superman himself in the flesh! Plus, a special cameo by the Golden Age Michael Bailey!

QUOTABLE:
Haven’t I warned you before about your habit of always getting into dangerous scrapes?
