Hosted by life long Batman fans Andrew Leyland and Michael Bailey, The Overlooked Dark Knight shines a light on the Batman stories that hardly anyone talks about. Mostly.

4.8 out of 5 stars from 12 ratings
  • Two Great Friends Talk Great Batman Comics

    There are only a handful of podcasts that I listen to as soon as they release an episode. This is one of them because Michael and Andrew's friendship, and shared fandom, brings such joy to my ears, even when they are tearing some comic (or movies) that may not be the best.
