  • Detective Comics #226 has a ridiculous story of Bruce Wayne fighting crime before he was Batman, so of course we had to talk about it on episode 11, all about origins. #batman #dccomics #history
  • Is Batman: Zero Year by Snyder and Capullo an origin story? Not really, but that didn't stop us from talking about it on episode 11 of Bat Lessons! #batman #history #podcast
  • And why do we fall Master Bruce? Hear Alex gush about the Nolan trilogy and how it does the Batman origin justice on episode 11 of Bat Lessons. #batman #dccomics
  • In Batman: Earth One, Bruce Wayne is inspired by a suit of samauri armor. Learn about this and more origin stories on episode 11 of Bat Lessons #batman #dccomics #podcast
  • DC heard you like origins so they made a whole tv show about the origin of Batman called "Gotham". We've never watched it but that doesn't keep us from talking about it on episode 11 of Bat Lessons. #batman #podcast
  • In the flashpoint universe, instead of Bruce surviving the alley mugging, Thomas Wayne survives his wife and child. He goes on to become a cracked mirror version of The Batman. Hear us talk about it on episode 11 of Bat Lessons. #batman #history #podcast
