Before the release of his upcoming series Batman: Dark Patterns, Brant Lewis interviews writer Dan Watters on The Ashcan Edition. They talk about what makes Batman a compelling and fascinating character, why the weird pulp roots of the character still remain, and how Hayden Sherman is the only artist for this series.

You can follow Dan Watters on social media @danpgwatters or through his newsletter The Dead Air Channel. You can also follow Brant Lewis on Twitter @Brant__Lewis and on Bluesky @brantlewis.
