Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode THE CAPE AND COWL CONSPIRACY. Alex and Will are somewhat divided on their opinions of this episode. One host enjoys it for the simple fact that Batman is trolling a villain the whole time and having fun, whilst the other host wishes it was just a Riddler episode. Our hosts also theorise that Josiah Wormwood is the reason that Gotham seems to have so many closed theme park attractions, as well as wondering if Gordon creating the bat signal was just to get Batman out of his office? Plus, our hosts cast Wormwood in their fancasted universe, as well as sing the recognisable theme music from SAW and accidentally advertise for Coca-Cola.
