On this episode of Batman Knightcast, Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin wrap up the two continuing story arcs they've covered since the beginning of the year.

A new episode of Batman Knightcast: NOW WITH WINGS! Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin continue to chronicle two different trilogies starring the Caped Crusader and some of his deadliest rogues. First, in DETECTIVE COMICS #402, Batman encounters Doctor Langstrom again, whose monstrous transformation into the Man-Bat will bring him right into Batman's home. In BATMAN #453, The Riddler doubles down on the evil, endangering more babies and now dogs, too. What's his goal? Why is he so much crazier this time? And what does it have to do the Ceremony of the Bat? So many questions--that won't be answered until next episode. Let us know what you think!

80 years ago, DC Comics created a throwaway villain called The Joker, who has hardly been heard of or talked about until this episode of Batman Knightcast.

Then finally DETECTIVE COMICS #578, the concluding chapter of "Batman Year Two".
