Apparently, today is Batman Day!

Let's celebrate by talking about some of our favourite Batman books from the past and present - I've been loving Absolute Batman, and the new Batman #1 by Matt Fraction is excellent (if you haven't read it yet).

Seeing Coagula be revived and interacting with the Doom Patrol again (after 30 years) is so amazing! I'm thrilled to see her back, and selfishly, it feels like the perfect ending for my upcoming Doom Patrol video.

As part of my (increasingly very long and comprehensive) Doom Patrol video, I'm going to include a segment where I rank every comic run from worst to best.

If you're an avid Patroller, feel free to let me know your favourites!
