BatChat With Matt & Will: Is Penguin a Good Trump Analogue? (w/ John Wickham)

Catwoman Election Night Special Banner

Batman is a creature of shadow who usually eschews the light. But even the Dark Knight can be touched by that darkest of human endeavors that lives in the brightest of spotlights: politics. Dick Grayson Tier Patreon backer John Wickham joins us to talk about a very of its moment story of Catwoman getting involved with Gotham’s mayoral race, Bruce Wayne going to Washington to try to stop the No Man’s Land (tl;dr: he fails) and a race for mayor in the animated series universe

  • Catwoman Election Night Special #1
  • Mr. Wayne Goes to Washington (Batman V.1 #560-562)
  • Mayor Mayhem (Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 2 #5-7)

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.
