BatChat religion correspondent Robert “Bobby TwoBucks” Secundus is back this week, and he’s brining with him Jean-Paul Valley, the vigilante and sometimes fanatic known as Azrael. We chart the journey of Azrael from the beginning of his ongoing to his most recent mini-series, with a stop off in an alternate world that is… something. We have one of the widest gulfs in the show’s history, with a top fifty book and one that is very much not. Watch as we return to the Murphyverse, see Denny O’Neil start Azrael on his path to redemption, and see Dan Watters pay that off thirty years later.
- Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1-8
- Fallen Angel (Azrael V.1 #1-7)
- Sword of Azrael (2022) #1-6
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column where we look at Knight Terrors: Batman #2, Knight Terrors: The Joker #2 and Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries#11.

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
