Episode 146: Noir- Gotham Style

BatChat With Matt & Will: A Batman Ranking Podcast

Gotham is a city of shadows. A city where good and evil blend together. It's a city made for Noir storytelling. And while some Batman stories have some elements of a Noir, most are very much superhero stories. But to tie-in with the 40s themed animated series, Batman: The Caped Crusader, debuting this week, and because Will has wanted to do this episode since somewhere around episode 3, we're reading three Batman Elseworlds that absolutely embrace Noir and crime storytelling. We read Batman meets the Untouchables, the grimmest Jim Gordon you will ever see, and Dick Grayson, the gumshoe. It's a damn fine week.
