First he whacked Chuckie Sol, then Buzz and now he’s after Valestra. Guano Man, really? Sal has a fair point for him too - once The Bat gets done with him, surely he’ll go for The Joker next... and his hands are just as doity! The next episode follows on Wednesday.

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 38: Conclusion

Jon provides their Final Thought's on Minute 38 like some kind of modern day Jerry Springer... minus the fighting. And the bigotry. And the classism. And the fakery. Okay so not that much like that show then, but still... Jon's opinions on the minute!

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 38: So it is, The Age of Dogs (with Vera Drew)

Sal wanders the remnants of a hopeful world, taking in all of the misery and depression that has taken the place of a joyous future ideal. Lovely isn't it? Machine gun fire! Is it a trap? No, merely a ruse... one perpetrated by the most devilish of masterminds... the one... the only... the people's champion... THE JOKER! Time for a little business meeting...

Swarmed! By bats! It turns out this wasn't them celebrating the wonderful engagement, oh no... apparently it's foreboding or something! WHO KNEW? Anyway, we’ll have no bat talk on THIS show! This part of the flashback ends and we cut to Bruce and Andrea in a car at night. They’re heading to see her dad but he’s currently got company... and not of the romantic kind! More the... sinister sort. AND WHO FLICKS A CIGARETTE? REALLY?!?!? Oh yeah, Batcave Origins too. Whatever. The next episode follows ...

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 34: Do You Consent To Getting Nuts (with Molly Bailen and Sean German)

The Bat is planning to pay the gangster a little visit to get to the bottom of all of this... and then head to Andrea's for a little lovin' it seems!

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 32: An Asthma Girl in a COVID World (with Dael Kingsmill)

Sal is angry - why is The Bat doing this? Why is he killing off gangsters? He’s never done it before. It's almost like... IT'S NOT HIM AT ALL! SHOCK! GASP! Anyway, Sal is too old for this ****. After he denounces the freak job Arthur then practically turns his back on the guy. Some friend, huh?

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 31: Hey, There, Blimpy Boy, Flying Through the Sky So Fancy-Free (with Dael Kingsmill)

Our Bruce is gently weeping. Graveside, wet from both tears and rain. Sopping one could say. BUT CRY NO LONGER! Andrea is here, sent by the ghosts of your dead parents to keep you happy. You'd both better be happy FOREVER AND EVER otherwise the spirits will be most upset... Going another layer deep in our Inception-like flashbacks, we then see Batman perched like one of his favourite grotesques, watching Andrea, once more in the rain. Arthur nearly has a head-on collision with a car because he d...

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 30: GET IN THE TIGHTS, KID! (with Chelsea Stardust)

Bruce rejects the phone call from Andrea. He's choosing his path in life, right here, right now... it's Batman all the way. We should all feel for Alfred. He’s standing there with Andrea on hold… he’s desperately trying to come up with something, come up with ANYTHING he can say to her. Not cool to put him in this position man. Not cool. We then head to a stormy night at the graveyard. Bruce has gone there to speak to his dead parents. BEG his dead parents - he needs to be released from this bur...

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 29: Bat Ghost Coast to Coast (with Chelsea Stardust)

Bruce has been badly beaten and the box is about to be nabbed! He held his own pretty well though, bravo, bravo. The sweater is ripped though - disgraceful. After this chaos our boy heads back to the mansion for some light doodling. This pic is all about the big scary costume he wants. Raaaaar. Andrea is on the phone. This is the moment of decision - Bruce needs to choose his destiny right here, right now... The next episode follows on Friday. Same Bat Pod, different Bat Minute! Join us on Faceb...

We’re back as Bruce tackles the motorcycle gang… but not the one from our other show. No, don't get confused here, listeners. Holy crap - he literally just throws this guy over the bridge and into the water. Bruce is seeing red! We've got ourselves a good old fashioned slobberknocker! It's a pier six brawl!

Bat Minute of The Phantasm - Minute 27: Paging Angus Scrimm (with Audra Wolfmann and Brett Stillo)

Valestra lights up a fatty. A STOLEN FATTY! That's just not on. Down with this sort of thing. Andrea and Bruce take their business outside - they know when they're not wanted. I mean, Bruce does have baggy, loose, skin it seems. While taking a stroll the pair suddenly stumble upon… CRIME! Motorbikes circling some poor schmuck. Time to bring some justice to these streets...
