Love these ideas, guys. Keep 'em coming!

Regarding Knightfall, it might be too large, as the entire storyline spans 70-plus comic books. Also, only Knightfall and KnightsEnd have been collected. Knightquest, the middle portion of the story, is in trade paperback limbo.

I'm not saying we won't do it, but if we do, it will span several episodes. Probably something like two episodes for Knightfall, three for Knightquest, and one for KnightsEnd. We could also add two more episodes for the fallout of the event, covering Prodigal and other random issues.

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale collaborations.

I'm not sure what you've covered already, Mike, but I think The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and maybe Haunted Knight would. TLH and DV would make a great episode since they tie right into one another.

I would say their Color series would be cool, but you guys just did Hulk Grey, so it wouldn't make much sense to repeat.

Not Loeb and Sale, but what about the No Man's Land series?

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale collaborations.

There are plans to cover Loeb's Batman work. When, I can't say, but there are plans.

A Knightfall episode? Where you review all the collections Batman Knightfall.

Please do this one guys!

Again, it's a very large, multi-episode project. So we'll see.

Battle for the cowl.

It was one of the biggest events for Batman in years, and they trusted an artist with writing it.

It's a follow up to R.I.P in a way, so you guys have to read it!

The hardcover comes out next Wednesday, so if we get to it we'll either wait for the trade or cover it as a previously released pick down the line.

I almost chose that Red Son hardcover for discussion a few episodes back, but I decided not to because it can be covered at any time as a one of our previously released picks. In fact, I've nearly chosen the trade paperback half a dozen times now, but wound up naming something else each time. But trust me, one of us will eventually pick it. And I'd bank on sooner rather than later.

Can you do An all star special, where you discuss All Star Superman and then Batman and Robin.

You can call it an All Star Waiting for the trade.

Plus, the trade of All Star Superman two comes out early next year so it would be a nice time to do it.

Absolutely, that would be a great contrast. All Star Superman is that phenomenal thing that will mean that no matter what else he does I can never call Grant Morrison a bad writer. I can call him incomprehensible or obtuse or inaccessible, but never bad.

Batman: RIP

Mike sure loves this comic ;)

The Death of Superman / World Without Superman / Return of Superman

Please do this!!! It'd be awesome hearing you too say "And that moment when he dies....so sad. How would they fuck it up, well next up..."

I take it back, do this!

Punisher War Journal, volume 5: Secret Invasion

Easily, the biggest mistake I ever made when buying a hardcover (I don't count countdown in that cause it was a softcover, and you get thirteen issues of shite, wheras this, you get three issues and it cost me £14. You know what fuck it, Countdown was still worse, slightly.)

Or you could look at major events by individual writers like Bendis or Johns. Actually, you could do a sort of career retrospective for those guys. Bendis could be Jinx (pre Marvel), Alias: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones (early non-traditional Marvel) and House of M (Big event). A best of Brubaker could be cool, Sleeper, Gotham Central, Daredevil.

Yey, you used a variation of my idea! Looking forward to your perspectives on Alias.

How about a spotlight on the Dark Knight returns, the dark knight strikes again? Or Batman year 100 as a past released title and compare and contrast it to Batman Beyond, as they both feature a future batman in the year 2039.
