246 - Batman: Creature of the Night by Kurt Busiek & John Paul Leon + Thunderbolts #19

Hot on the heels of Kurt Busiek's take on a real-world(ish) Clark Kent, we're reading his Batman focused followup called Creature of the Night from 2017, with art by John Paul Leon. We meet a young kid in a non-superhero world named Bruce Wainwright who's obsessed with Batman comics, and that doesn't really change after his parents get murdered by robbers. So what's the deal with this Batman that starts showing up immediately? Then we move onto Thunderbolts #19, featuring the winner of the Wizard Create-A-Villain contest! Next Time: Wolverine (1982) by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller
