Our Batman Episode (of 2026...)

Key insight from segment 5

Chris Lockhart kicks off Batman night. He welcomes listeners back, introduces Kevin Deeson and Ragnar, and brings in Sebastian, known as Saskatoon Batman, while mentioning that a couple other people might still show up later. The mood is relaxed from the start. The table jokes about being a Bats family and a Justice League, which makes the episode feel like a hangout first and a review second. Sebastian gets the newcomer spotlight. He explains that the Saskatoon Batman name comes from about 15 years of Batman work in Saskatoon, where he does charity appearances, birthday parties, store events, and business visits, including the Family Expo. That real-world fandom gives the episode a solid center, because the panel keeps coming back to what Batman means when someone actually performs the character for kids and communities. A favorite-villain question opens the discussion up. The group starts working through Two-Face and other Batman foes, along with movie and comic comparisons. One comic story gets a long look. The panel remembers a Batman annual from the 1990s with the famous Two-Face coin-flip cover, the character being restored, and the brutal ending where he tears off the surgery and returns to Two-Face. The memory lands. The hosts spend real time on the kind of comic that sticks in your head for decades, and that keeps the conversation moving even when it drifts. Lex Luthor comes up too. Chris uses him as a curveball answer for favorite other Batman villain, pointing to stories like Kingdom Come and No Man's Land where Batman and Luthor cross paths in bigger-scale stories. The panel keeps it fan-first. People compare scenes, remember theater reactions, and toss out plain judgments about what works, what does not, and which villain versions feel worth revisiting. The ending stays loose. Chris closes by thanking everyone, apologizing for possible internet trouble near the end, and promising to edit the episode and get it posted soon.
