i am happy i voted and another i am also black
I just listened to this podcast and man, i got to tell you guys that i LOVE the Batman debate. I hope there will be more debate in the future.
I love when you guys go off on discussions. I really hope you guys add more of those in upcoming episodes.
Thanks for the shout out. Did someone tell me to shut up? Don’t you know I’m the goddamn Brother129?
Wow. Loved the Batman debate, but did not think it was balanced enough. Stephen interrupted Matthew so many times, I could not find out whose Batman each were defending. He also could not discern between Grant Morrison’s Batman and the writer himself. Besides that, Legion of Three Worlds #2 was great.
Albert: Thanks for your comments, but it really wasn’t a debate so much as it was a discussion as to why we each like our own version of Batman. And I didn’t interrupt matthew THAT many times ;)
