This year The Dark Knight is turning 80 years old. With DC Comics celebrating the 80th anniversary of Batman and the 1000th issue of Detective Comics we thought we would join in the fun.
For the next few weeks we’ll be releasing special, Batman-themed, episodes of the GYCO podcast.
In this first episodes our hosts Martin and Neil talk about the golden age of Batman on film. Starting with Tim Burton’s 1989 classic Batman all the way through to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Alongside the release of the landmark 100th issue of Detective Comics DC will also release Detective Comics: 80 Years Of Batman: Deluxe Edition.
