When it comes to alternate media, it's actually rather difficult to translate the exact same feeling of watching the show, film, cartoon, or whathaveyou that you're trying to replicate within the pages of a comic book. And while one would think that translating an actual property based on a comic book would be a helluvalot easier to accomplish, it's actually alot rarer than you think to get it right. Everything from the many Batman movies and animated series to the current CW hit, Arrow, has been given a comic book adaptation and it's been brought to panel-by-panel life to many varying results. While you could never really say that all of the Batman comics based off of The Animated Series were bad, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that could claim that they're just as good, or even a respectable replacement for just sitting down and watching the show. And let's face it, that's going to be the problem with anything based off of something inherently designed for an entirely different medium.

Episode 21
In which the token female of the crew takes over hosting duties this week, where things quickly get wildly out of hand. True, you'd almost expect it from her at this point, but when the conversation delves into such topics as the horrors of bare feet, an erotic striptease version of The Standard, the ever-classic bagged and boarded debate, slash fiction between two of DC's most inherently disturbing heroes, and the future assassination of Adam Glass at the hands of one of the podcast's own, you start to wonder what you're actually listening to. Luckily, there's the lack of anything at the Eisner Awards to help ground out the day, followed by the greatest fan question ever. Stay tuned to hear the definition of ABBO.
