In this reprint of the VERY FIRST RECORDING of OPP's original spotlight series, Aristocratic Alex Koch is joined by dork knight extraordinaire Morbid Matt Johnson to discuss the defining origin story of their favorite character, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's seminal(?) Batman: Year One. Journey back to 2013 as they go into Matt's abiding respect for Jim Gordon, and Alex's revelations about Batman's first costume, as the mystery of Graphic Novelism's hiatus deepens.
