Fear not, Bat-Fans, as we\u2019ve got all your answers and then some as we conjure up Old Wounds and The Demon Within!<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nFirst up, in Old Wounds, who\u2019s ready for storytime with <a href=\"https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/Dick_Grayson\">Dick Grayson</a>, bay bay? After taking down some z-level thugs, Nightwing regales Robin with his secret origin, finally revealing what led to the break up of the original dynamic duo. It\u2019s a story of two partners in crime (fighting) who have grown up and grown apart. Throw in some lying to your significant other and a helping of excessive violence and you\u2019ve got yourself a stew going!<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nNext up in The Demon Within,, Klarion, the Witch Boy, takes control of Etrigan the Demon and Batman and Robin must stop his destructive mischief. Batman takes a trip into the realm of magic for only the second time in the series, and it sure has destructive results! Magic laser blasts, Batman turning into a tree, tiny alleyways with no outlets, mystical branding irons, and some truly transformative poetry round out an episode with a devilish guest star who really makes an impression.<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWhile Old Wounds answers some big questions, The Demon Within presents only the second time Batman has a mystical/magical encounter and also is only the second episode of the series to feature a character (Etrigan) from the larger DC Universe (Zatanna being the other).&nbsp; So grab your grimoire, get your daddy issues in line, and join us for Old Wounds and The Demon Within!<br />","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/b25210f8-e423-4f33-b8a0-38a2643d1a07/battass-beyond-art.jpg"}
