Third Impact Anime Episode #170 – Batmanime feat. Daniel Dockery

Did you know that Batman: The Animated Series is actually an anime? Err, well, at least part of it is. Sully and Austin are joined by special guest Daniel Dockery, author of the upcoming book “I Am the Knight: The Ultimate Unauthorized History of Batman: The Animated Series,” to talk about B:TAS specifically in the context of the anime studios that produced some of the series’ best episodes, including the topic of the episode, “Feat of Clay Part 2.” Enjoy!

Thanks so much to Daniel for coming on the show and please preorder his book that releases on September 1st!
