or:  I would’ve become the Dr. Manhattan of bitterness.


Hunter and Chris are joined by guest Bat-expert Joey “The Joe-Ker” Dale to do a critical kamikaze on the DCEU’s latest, Suicide Squad! Wait – Hunter actually liked it!?!?! Anyway…Chris continues his “Summer of IPA” with a dirty south brew that is just plain bad. In Special Features, the Dudes discuss the less celebrated scoundrels of cinema in B-List Baddies. *PLUS* Hunter suffers the consequences for making a bad bet (again) and pays his India Pale Ale Penance.

LINKS & NOTES

The book is set in a future Gotham City “at the end of the next century,” (the 21st) dominated by high technology, particularly computer networks and their human controllers, long after the original Batman has died. The story revolves around James Gordon, Gotham City Police Department detective and grandson of Commissioner James Gordon, who takes on the identity of the Batman to free the city from a sentient computer virus crafted by the Joker, also now long dead, and to avenge the death of his partner Lena Schwartz. He is aided by a self-aware computer called the Batcomp, programmed by the late Bruce Wayne, and a robot called Alfred (after Wayne’s also deceased butler Alfred Pennyworth), both residing in the Batcave under a now long-abandoned Wayne Manor. Joining Gordon in his new crusade against crime and the city’s corrupt government are a teenage street-punk informant, who becomes the new Robin; and a female pop music superstar named Sheila Romero (stage name Gata), who becomes the new Catwoman and, while being his adversary at first, eventually becomes Gordon’s lover and ally.Batman: Digital Justice - Wikipedia
