There are a lot of takes on Batman, but we all have our favorites. Sometimes he’s campy, other times he’s gritty. Batman’s one of the most versatile characters in media today. My favorite take on Batman isn’t one steeped in the DC universe. I like to see Batman the noir detective, who’s more of a vigilante than a superhero. So needless to say, I absolutely adore Detective Comics from Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, they’re doing my Batman. This is my Batman book. Beware spoilers.

Welcome to the first Did You Catch All That? of 2012! Susan thought she was rid of the boys in the new year, but she was sorely mistaken. Not only are Simon and Sheldon back, but she was joined by Matt Todd of “The Impact” and a very special guest (watch the video to see who it is). The best of the segments is back, including Susan dashing back and forth to bring you her favorite “Girl on Girls”. Simon’s tattoo may or may not make an appearance in Elephantmen 0, but he does talk about it in “On Shelves Now”. Sheldon is upset when he can’t talk about his issues and decides to play on his phone. I think I may have mentioned that we have a special guest! Ok, ok… I’ll give you a hint. He was recently on our POW! Pick of the Week Podcast, so he’s been hanging around quite a bit lately (and I know I hope he sticks around for a while). Take your guesses, but in the meantime, take a gander at the January 2012 episode of Did You Catch All That?.
