As we can retronauts, I want you to tell your friends about me.

Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Retronauts East.

This is the exciting third episode of Retronauts East.

We're changing things up a little bit this week.

For one thing, we have proper recording equipment.

So no longer sounds as if we were recording in what one person called a submarine.

Hopefully this sounds like a proper podcast at long last.

And secondly, Ben Jedwards is here.

But in seat number three, we have special guest Chris Sims.

Because this episode is about Batman.

And Chris Sims is as far as I know the biggest Batman fan beside a Bob King.

I refer to myself as the world's foremost Batmanologist.

There you go.

So it's like the world's greatest detective, but focused entirely on Batman.

You got it.

You got it.

Alright.

So Chris, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Well, I have been a professional comics critic for about eight years, seven years.

And I'm also a comic book writer, although most of my comics writing has been done at Marvel.

But I'm a huge Batman fan.

I have read an awful lot of Batman comics and more germane to this conversation.
