First things first - a correction. In this episode, I describe Arkham Manor #1 completely wrong in advance of its release. Now that it's out, I can tell you that the book is actually about the patients of Arkham being moved into Wayne Manor (with Bruce having lost the house due to events in Batman Eternal) and Batman going deep cover into the asylum to keep an eye on things.
It actually doesn't end up fitting in with the theme discussed in the episode, Batman books without Batman in them. So...It's a good thing that host Moises Chiullan and myself, along with guest David Loehr, spend most of our time talking about police procedural Gotham Central, Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, and just what sets Gotham apart from, say, Keystone City. Peppered throughout this episode is the voice of writer Ed Brubaker (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Fatale), whose own work on Gotham Central went on to inspire the new Gotham television series.
