Casefile #1: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
open.spotify.com
Listen to this episode from The Black Casebook on Spotify. Hey, you gotta start somewhere. One of the most controversial and challenging stories in the Dark Knight's canon, Arkham Asylum is also one of the most important. Batman's all-time bad trip is a different kind of Year One, a skeleton key of ideas that can unlock new meanings in every other Batman story. You can find The Black Casebook on Twitter @blackcasebook and Instagram @blackcasebookpod, and you can write in to blackcasebookpod@gmail.com to share any Bat-thoughts you have. Music by Black Plastique.

Apart of the "Socialist Batman" trend that we see in the recent Batman movie, which is also talked about in this podcast.

Surprisingly good.

Got any other podcast recs you all want to share?

      Of course, there's always "Against Japanism" which is generally interesting (and Marxist-Leninist too).

    What happened with joker's upper lip?

    socialist Batman

    How? He uses his money to house the homeless, kills medical CEOs and funds the revolution?

      lol It's more the fact that he's written by left-wing authors that he gets laughingly (and affectionately) called "Socialist Batman."

      It's not about the character himself.

      It's honestly the best kept secret in terms of podcasts, at least for me.
