By its own definition, “The Batman Chronology Project is a study of serialized storytelling in superhero comics. More specifically, it tracks the continuity of DC Comics via the lens of Batman by plotting his appearances into detailed timelines.”<br /> For new readers or old, casual Batman fans or hardcore Bat-veterans, The Batman Chronology Project is an incredible site that goes well beyond cataloguing Batman’s various timelines. It’s an exploration of the truly unique experience of comic book storytelling, as well as a resource for fans looking to ask questions or pitch ideas. Bat-fans can contact Collin Colsher by email: [email protected]. <br /> In this episode, Scott and Collin discuss:<br /> <br /> * The nature of comic book storytelling<br /> * Favorite Batman storylines<br /> * How many Bat-timelines The Batman Chronology Project has identified<br /> * Relaunches and reboots<br /> * And more!<br /> <br /> For our Bat-Family: Which Batman Timeline is Your Favorite?<br /> Drop us a line at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.

<a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TBUP-E274.jpg"></a><br /> <br /> In this week’s episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, your hosts, Scott and BJ, walk through a history of all of the times Batman retired. Depending on what sites you read, many lists and articles include times where Batman technically… *ahem* died. We talk about a couple of those times, but in our eyes, they don’t care. Death and retirement are not the same.<br /> Batman Retired Storylines Covered:<br /> <br /> * The Dark Knight Returns (1986)<br /> <br /> * You can listen to our past episode on this storyline in <a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/episode-259-revisiting-the-dark-knight-returns-comic-adaptation/">Episode 259: Revisiting ‘The Dark Knight Returns’ Comic & Adaptation</a>.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Batman: The Cult (1988)<br /> * Batman: Knightfall (1993)<br /> * Batman: Prodigal (1997)<br /> * Batman: Superheavy (2014)<br /> * Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 (2016)<br /> * Batman Annual #2 (2018)<br /> * “Chemistry” episode of The New Adventures of Batman and Robin (1998)<br /> * “A Better World” episode of Justice League (2003)<br /> * Batman Beyond (1999-2001)<br /> * The Dark Knight Rises (2012)<br /> * Earth-2 Batman<br /> * Batman Forever (1995)<br /> <br /> * BJ is technically right that this one counts. Batman retires for like 30 seconds.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Please note: We do not cover Batman ’89: Echoes, as that story is not yet completed as of the time of this recording. <br /> <br /> Other Bat-Topics<br /> We also discuss a few other news-worthy items this episode. We cover the rumor that The Dark Knight might be returning to IMAX in May, based on theories after this <a href="https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/dark-knight-double-feature-79632" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AMC Theaters</a> link went live. We also spend some time talking about a State Farm advertisement, but it’s not any advertisement, it’s their new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykyvHVqKHQg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Batman vs. Bateman campaign</a>.<br /> <br /> For our Bat-Family: Which is your favorite Bat-Retirement story?<br /> Drop us a line at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.

<a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/TBUP-E273.jpg"></a><br /> <br /> Two episodes ago, your daring hosts, Scott and BJ, watched the <a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/episode-271-batmans-live-action-debut-pulp-propaganda/">1943 Batman serial from Columbia Pictures</a>. In this week’s episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott and BJ watched the 15-episode sequel serial from 1949.<br /> In Batman and Robin, a new cast dons the crime-fighting outfits of the Dynamic Duo, and viewers are treated to appearances from supporting players like Commissioner Gordon (who was absent in the first serial), Vicki Vale, and Alfred Pennyworth. They’re also up against an original villain who was solely created for this serial – a sinister character known as The Wizard! It’s an another action-packed romp filled with big-time heists, murder, corporate espionage, and a twist ending after the reveal of who’s the mystery man behind The Wizard’s hood!<br /> If you want to join our podcast hosts and watch this serial, you can <a href="https://tubitv.com/series/300009273/batman-and-robin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">find it on Tubi</a>. Otherwise, get ready as Scott and BJ tackle topics like:<br /> <br /> * What’s changed between the 1943 serial and this one?<br /> * Why does Vicki Vale have a brother, and is he canon or an original character?<br /> * Who is The Wizard, and has he ever appeared in the comics?<br /> * Two different actors portray Batman and Robin in this sequel serial. How do Robert Lowery and Johnny Duncan (the new Dynamic Duo) compare to Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft?<br /> * Do Batman Robin STILL not have a Batmobile?<br /> * What Bat-gadgets appear in this serial?<br /> * And more!<br /> <br /> Other topics this episode include a catch-up on all of the DC Studios happenings recently spoken about by James Gunn and Peter Safran.<br /> For our Bat-Family: Which Batman and Robin do you prefer — 1949 or 1997<br /> Drop us a line at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
