In this episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott is once again joined by Rob from Comic Book Chronicles. The two chat about Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s canon-altering “The Court of Owls” storyline that first appeared in the revamped Batman #1 (from the New 52 era). It’s been nearly 14 years since the debut of the Court of Owls. After a smashing success, it wasn’t long before the court was adapted into TV shows, video games, and other media. The court was also expanded, growing into a worldwide Parliament of Owls, as well as off-shoots like the Court of Eagles. While the impact of “The Court of Owls” and subsequent “Night of the Owls” storylines have certainly left their mark, how do they hold up? Are they the worthy Batman adversaries we’ve been led to believe, and do they earn their place in the Batman mythos? Listen in as Scott and Rob share their thoughts.

In Episode 271 of The Batman Universe Podcast, cohosts Scott and BJ take a trip back in time to Batman’s FIRST live-action debut. No, we’re not talking Adam West. We’re going back further, talking about Batman and Robin as portrayed by Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft in the 1943 Columbia Pictures’ 15-part serial simply known as Batman . Did you know that the Batman serial introduced TWO major developments to the Batman canon? Along with covering how this 1943 serial changed Batman comics forever, Scott and BJ explore: Characterization: How does this Dynamic Duo compare to their comic book counterparts? Bat-Gadgetry: From the Batmobile to disguises and crime-fighting tools, what kind of weapons and tools does Batman use? Plot & Propaganda: This serial came out in 1943, right in the middle of the United States’ involvement in World War II. Instead of a Batman villain, this Caped Crusader battles against the saboteur Dr. Tito Daka. How did the time period affect the story and portrayal of Batman, and how does that translate to how we view this serial in 2025? Favorite Scenes: Despite this being a lower-budget serial, Batman packs quite a wallop! Scott and BJ go over their favorite sequences, both the thrilling action sets and humorous moments. Did Robin Really Do That?: Yes. Yes, he did. We’ll talk about it. For our Bat-Family: Were You Aware of the 1943 Batman Serial? Drop us a line at TBU@TheBatmanUniverse.net .
