This week on The Legends of the DCU Podcast! Drew Leiter and Cletus Jacobs welcome the return of Batman. Pamela Isley transforms into a monstrous plant-human hybrid, while Martha Wayne reveals a connection to the Court of Owls as Bruce abandons his compassion and embraces a darker path in Absolute Batman #17 & 18. Batman faces a growing crisis in Gotham as Killer Croc regresses, Dr. Annika Zeller’s mysterious Crown of Storms raises disturbing questions, and Commissioner Vandal Savage launches an all-out campaign against the Dark Knight and the Bat-Family in Batman #1 thru 10. All this plus, DC News, Shout Outs, and much, much more!
