Some thoughts from listening to this
—Who has the longest uninterrupted run on "Batman" as a writer? King's 85 wasn't uninterrupted, there was the Flash crossover but it had long stretches. Morrison or Moench or Snyder would be up there
—I don't know this show, I like the hosts but it's a little frustrating to not ask King more direct questions 20 minutes in. Maybe they get to that. And there's too much emphasis, even jokingly, on the negative reactions to his run without actually considering or responding to it. I guess whatever he says would be too likely to be taken out of context in the blog worlds. I think it's ridiculous, like the BatmanNews reviews especially, some of the over-the-top hate written about it. I'm curious to what degree King takes that in. Seems like he's aware but takes it in stride, which is the right approach.
—Interesting to consider "Batman" wasn't selling six figures until Hush
—I love how the discussion of what makes Batman great and talking about gadgets and comeback moments shifted to Robin being key to the relatability.
—This is long!
