Episode 59: Superman & Batman Generations II Part 2
Welcome to the fifty-ninth episode of The Overlooked Dark Knight. The is a non-index index show where the hosts, Andrew Leyland and Michael Bailey, look at Batman comics that rarely, if ever, get talked about.
Andy and Mike finish their trip through the Elseworlds of John Byrne’s Superman & Batman Generations saga by talking about the final two issues of Superman & Batman: Generations II! The years covered this time out are 1986, 1997, 2008, and 2019 with Superman searching for Lex Luthor, the second Batman fighting his teammates, Knightwing’s first night out, the return of an old Superman villain, and a flashback story featuring a startling revelation about the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents!

Thank you, gentlemen. A fine finish to your coverage of the series. I certainly agree, for the most part, with your commentary on the ending involving Thomas and Martha (Why did you say that name?) Wayne, with one minor, but snarky exception. You said that there was literally no reason for Martha to die, but, if it were just Bruce and his Dad in that alley, who would have worn the pearls?
