Episode notes

This is a story about the cultural history of Batman with his fans. The way that they have attempted to like shift him and possess him and gatekeep and accept new versions of him. Glenn Welldens is a pop culture critic he's on "pop culture happy hour" He finds forum posts from when you know new movies came out and how the fans were reacting to it at that point um so it's really fascinating, says Weldon.
