DeCandido get together to discuss a character that seems to have been created in 1943 with the 1966 TV series in mind - the Cavalier.  They talk about who should play the role, the eccentricity of the crimes committed, and the placement of the cliffhanger.

For the sixth day of Batmas, John and fellow podcaster Andrew Leyland discuss a fun, but plot thin issue of Detective Comics from 1964.  It's the perfect vehicle to turn into a third season Batgirl episode.  John and Andrew discuss how Batgirl could be worked in, the feasibility of all the settings of the comic, and the casting of the main villain.
