Batman of San Jose, Black Phoenix, Crimson Fist, and Queen Bee (Bay Area Super Heroes)
Monday, 2 March, 2026

Uncover the lore of four masked comrades who meet up regularly to offer aid to unhoused neighbors and teach self-defense. We talk about the discourse around wearing frog costumes to ICE protests and giving public comment at San Jose City Hall dressed as Batman (that's the clip at the beginning of the episode).
