You guys have we got a show for you today.

It's all about the con game, the con men, the ever-evolving state of comic conventions, how they've

changed over the years, where do you fit in the current politics that surrounds so many

of the big shows? Who owns these shows anyway? When you go to C2E2, when you go to New York

Comic-Con, when you go to Orlando MegaCon, a big Dallas show,

who is the corporate face power name behind that show? And again, how can you get in? And really

pioneering and championing the architects, the comic book creators that create this stuff in the first place.

as the Nolan trilogy is being re-evaluated

and really, should it be, in the face of the new,

another author in the vein of what Christopher Nolan did.

So we break it all down.

of batman on today's rob observations hey everybody welcome to a distinctly international

and I don't want to miss a podcast. So I traveled with my laptop computer. I did not bring my

specialized microphone that my son got me, my Blue Yeti that I do all the episodes on.
