Batman Knightcast is so done with Superman now that the movie is out (and great, btw), so Chris Franklin and Ryan Daly return to the usual Knightcast format, reviewing two classic tales of the Dark Knight. First up is “The Batman Nobody Knows” by Frank Robbins and Dick Giordano, originally published in Batman #250. Then “There is No Hope in Crime Alley” Denny O’Neil and Giordano from Detective Comics #457. After that, the fellas respond to listener feedback from Knightcast episodes 38-42.
