When Joseph Illidge wants to talk to you about
Batman, you talk about Batman. Because in addition to starting his
career at the creative melting pot that was Milestone Media and
honing his editorial chops at such publishers as Valiant, Archia,
Lion Forge, and now A Wave Blue World, he was one of the Batman
group editors from 1998 to 2001. He was there for No Man's Land,
the launch of the Birds of Prey ongoing series, the
introduction of Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, the Greg Rucka/Shawn
Martinbrough experimental Detective Comics run, and
more.
For his fifth appearance on the show, Illidge drops by the
underground recording studio to chat with Greg about all things
Bat: from that No Man's Land tour of duty, to Birds of Prey, to
Batgirls Gordon and Cain. He also unpacks last week's tweet about
why the time has come for a black Batman. All that and more
on today's episode!
