This is the replay from a livestream we recently had covering all the mistakes we made and all the feedback we got in the second year of Bat Lessons

Few know about the first appearance of the Dark Knight in cinema. Fewer still know just how much of an impact it had on the batman universe. The Batman 1943 Serial is the genesis of the Batcave and of Alfred. Join us as we dive deep on the history and story of this important moment in the story of Batman.
