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.

Episode 92 - The Joker Series That Is Totally Not a Jim Gordon Series (Except It Totally Is)
Saturday, 15 November, 2025
The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime, turns 85 this year and both Andy and Michael thought that celebrating this would be a capital idea to devote an episode of this show to celebraing his birthday. Since they just did a "Best Of" type episode to celebrate Robin's birthday, the guys decided instead to talk about the 2021 Joker series that was written by James Tynion IV because it's about the Joker. Actually, the series is a Jim Gordon series disguised as a Joker series, which is by no means a bad thing. Andy and Mike talk about all 15 issues and the annuals and break down what they liked about the story and what they didn't. Topics include the wonky continuity of the characters, the film noir nature to the early issues, Bane, how certain characters reminded the guys of Preacher, Oracle, and, of course, the Joker. Next Time: Andy and Mike talk about some more recent Batman stories that also serve as anniversary issues.
