The Overlooked Dark Knight: The New AdventuresAuthor: Andrew Leyland and Michael Bailey
Hosted by life long Batman fans Andrew Leyland and Michael Bailey, The Overlooked Dark Knight shines a light on the Batman stories that hardly anyone talks about. Mostly. Sometimes the guys talk about Batman stories EVERYONE talks about, but they try to stick to a mandate of the overlooked stuff because the character is more than the sum of The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, Hush, and The Long Halloween.

Bat Flashback - Episode 35 - Son of the Demon
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
As some of you know, this feed is the second one that Andy and Mike used to put out episodes of The Overlooked Dark Knight. The first one has sadly been lost to the ages, but Mike still has the audio files and this feed has plenty of room for the old stuff. Next week, Episode 96 comes out and during that episode Andy and Mike discuss Batman: Bride of the Demon and Batman: Birth of the Demon. They talked about the first part of what DC now calls a trilogy, Batman: Son of the Demon and Mike thought it would be a good idea to repost the episode here. Anyway, after answering a listener question (which is something they used to do on the show and maybe they should get back to that) the guys talk about Batman: Son of the Demon, the 1987 graphic novel that had Batman and Talia not only getting married, but Talia becoming pregnant with Bruce's kid. The guys talk about how they first read this story, the more mature nature of the storytelling, the amazing artwork, and how this story was wiped from continuity almost immediately after it was published. There is also talk about how this story plays into Grant Morrison's introduction of Damien Wayne. Andy and Mike want your feedback on this episode so they can read it on an upcoming show! You even have options in how you leave your feedback. The most direct way is to leave a comment right here on the site. You can also send all questions, concerns, fears and trepidations to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. Then there's the Facebook page, where you can also leave a Batman related question for Andy and Mike to answer at the beginning of the show. If you talk about this show on the social medias please include a #overlookeddk so the guys know where to find it.
