\n\nIn this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fourth installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL.
\nBane has been defeated by a new, darker, reckless and more violent Batman and now he rules the night. Jean-Paul Valley for better or worse wears the cowl… What follows is our discussion and the highlights of his career as Batman! It’s all mostly mercs and hitmen from here on out…
We cover:
\n-Detective Comics #667-675
\n-Robin #1-2
\n-Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #19-20 and #24-28
\n-Batman #501-508
\n-Catwoman #6-7
\n-Showcase ’94 #7
This is the portion of the Knightfall epic known as “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” and covers Jean-Paul Valley's tenure as Batman and time in the cowl, in Gotham.
\nIt is at this point that there is a fork in the path for the Knightfall saga and as mentioned in previous episodes in this series “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” is the other part of the story, concerning Bruce Wayne's recovery and globetrotting quest to rescue Dr Kinsolving and Tim Drake's Father. In reading order we have put "The Search" after "The Crusade" although the events are happening simultaneously.
We also discuss "The Search" broadly at the beginning of this episode, but we ultimately decided to give more time to "The Crusade" because it is the better written and more interesting side of events.
\n\n"The Search" covers:
\n -Justice League Task Force #5-6,
\n -Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #21-23,
\n -Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight #59-61
\n -Robin #7

This story was originally serialised in the Marvel Comics Presents anthology book issues #72-84. it was part of Marvel presents vol 1 that ran for 175 issues between 1988-1995 biweekly. This book is the best there is at what it does, but what it does best isn't very nice... We examine the brutal and traumatic origin of Wolverine's adamantium skeleton and his savage forging in the fires of the mysterious Weapon X program.

\n\nA special episode in which, Greg, Leon and Rahul sign their names in the book of the beast to talk about Netflix's
\nThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
\nThey were joined by special guest Vicki Madden, a PhD scholar at The University of Edinburgh specialising in American gothic fiction, bringing her expertise and unique perspective on all things spooky to the discussion.
We also spend some time talking about:
\n\nThe Haunting of Hill House (on Netflix)
A brief history of Sabrina in comics, movie and TV
Our spoiler-free thoughts on The Chilling Adventure of Sabrina
SPOILERS FOR THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA FROM 01h29m ONWARDS
At the end of the show, Vicki shouts out an upcoming event (Tuesday 13th November a.k.a. Robert Louis Stevenson Day) at Edinburgh Gothic for a series of scintillating talks on the Gothic. Vicki will be giving a talk entitled "Shirley Jackson and American Gothic fiction" which delves deeper into the medical humanities by examining Shirley Jackson’s critically understudied novel The Bird’s Nest and explores the ways in which dissociative personality disorder has been problematically conceptualised in Gothic terms, also with reference to Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde.
