This isn't a podcast—it's an operating table, and we're the surgeons!

This time, we revisit one of our most controversial episodes (okay, pretty much our only "controversial" episode) with the first installment of a two-part, in-depth reexamination of Frank Miller's 1986 landmark miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns!
