Bat Minute

MELTING! MELTING! JOKER IS MELTING! Or is there more to this than meets the eye? BOO! The big Bat arrives in the nick of time and he's packing some serious tech. Where does he get these wonderful toys? No matter where, Bats and Vicki are getting mobile in style. Bringing his '80s expertise to the party today is Neil Brown of The Mogwai Minute ! Neil has already dealt with the worst monsters around...

Joker's viciousness revealed to Vale! His acerbic tongue is matched only by the damage done to Alicia... and perhaps now Vicki too! The mask is off and the cards are on the table. Picasso? Not quite... but getting there. In a desperate attempt at escape, Ms Vale goes on the attack in liquid fashion. Joining our team as this week's Special Guest Investigator is none other than the maestro of The Mo...

Art and   death collide in a beautiful symbiosis... at least in Joker's mind! Art is homicide and homicide is art. Alicia emerges once more! But something is different... her face... Sketchy Jack's horrors are unleashed! Claire York  is back as Special Guest Investigator to finish the week. Can she help the Bat Boys dig their way through...

Joker delivers the ultimate in backhanded compliments in his bizarre attempt to woo Vicki to his cause (and his bed!). Will his romantic boombox accompaniment, coupled with ROARING FLAMES, yield success? I couldn't say no, that's for sure! Sadly, Vicki's portfolio is doing very little to inspire Saucy Jack... though he IS rather taken by some horrifying skulls of war. Joining the our dynamic duo o...

A red right hand! A red left! ALL MANNER OF COLOURS, EVERYWHERE! Joker and his goons are doing a number on old-fashioned art and transforming it into the new. One dollar bills? Get outta here! Afterwards, The Clown Prince finally makes his move on Vicki - his catch is secured. How can Ms Vale escape this funky nightmare? Stay tuned, Bat Fans! Joining our Partymen is a very special guest investigat...

The people are dead. Or unconscious... I dunno, we're not too sure. Whatever. More importantly, THE PARTYMAN IS IN THE HOUSE, PEOPLE! He's here to help us broaden our minds and, oh boy, are we in for a shock today! This guy is the funkiest man I've ever seen! What will Vicki make of this? What will become of her? Stay tuned to find out, Bat Minute Mites! Rounding out the week is Special Guest Inve...

Vicki waiting... waiting... waiting. She did that 'do for nothing! A mysterious delivery is brought to her, however, to add a little colour to her day. But, wait... TOXIC GAS! EVERYWHERE! Mayhem will ensue and people will fall. PANIC AT THE FLUGELHEIM! Returning to investigate the madness is  Heidi Bennett  of the excellent  Spinal Tap Minute  and  Cabin Minute Cast  ...

Bat Minute is in the house and  Daddy’s going to make some art, darling! A porcelain mask masks Joker's first steps into his new world of art. Will his trip to the Flugelheim provide the inspiration he's seeking for further genius? I think a certain blonde will do him just fine... especially as she's been cruelly stood up by her date tonight! Or has she? Helping investigate this week is none...

The Borg suggest(s) holding people at gunpoint while Dent talks with his mouth full. Meanwhile, Alfred is revealed as a snooper himself! He's going through Bruce's messages! In other developments, Joker dolls himself up for a night on the town. Dueling with the truth and obscurity is today's special guest investigator, Scott Carelli! Scott has almost cracked this case so you can't keep him away! Y...

Bruce the snoop is going through Napier's files. He's putting this all together... finally. We learn of prior Jack's affinity for chemicals, though perhaps not in the way you'd imagine. Filthy, disgusting, news readers reveal the full extent of Joker's crimes as many are now deceased and the products responsible are being tracked down. Our investigation comes on leaps and bounds thanks to the help...

LOVE THAT BAT MINUTE '89! The boys are back for more sleuthing as Joker hijacks the news studio's transmissions! Want to look exactly like the former Mr Napier in every single way? Well, boy, does he have the product for you! We wouldn't advise it on the beach, however, despite the commercial. While Joker tries to prove that sex sells by artfully raising the models from the dead, Bruce has made an...

Beauty has died. The killer? Allergies. ALLERGIES?!? You're kidding me! You gotta be Joke(r)ing! Thankfully for the mayor, the city's birthday celebrations are, somehow, shockingly, still a go. Before Peter can get into it, Becky starts cackling at the news of further deaths. What's so funny? Perhaps some new and improved products could help... or hinder... Getting to the bottom of all of this is...

Joking Jack seems to have made a killing - he's shipped a million of these products! There's something other than sales on his mind, however... Meanwhile, Becky Narita makes her presence known, dropping hot knowledge on us like a cat (bat?) falls off a hot tin roof. Candy and Amanda have bitten the dust - but with a smile (?). Back on investigation duties, probing the Bat and giving Joker the ol'...

Jon and Niall are currently guest hosts over at the wonderful Die Hard Minute podcast! For five days this week (beginning 30/10/17) they will be digging into the classic film Die Hard, along with a guest or two. Here is a sample to whet your appetite for more. This clip had to be edited out of the final show, but we thought it would amuse our listeners all the same. This is a clip from the second...

Joker is feeling crafty and doing a little scrapbooking. He can't be all evil, all the time! After losing his mojo upon seeing a picture of Knox, he is suddenly back in the game when rather taken by the stunning Vicki! What will Joker's plan be for Ms Vale? There's mooky involved, at least! Throw in silk shirts and crayons galore and we've got some top notch Bat chat, folks! Joining the investigat...

WHAT IS UP WITH THE ALLEY AT PEARL AND PHILLIPS STREETS?!? Well, first of all it doesn't remotely look like an alley, so write that down. The real questions are: just what is Bruce up to? And how DDID Joker bring people a smile(x)? Get the answers to these questions and some lovely new, psychotic, artwork (in audio form) by tuning in to today's exciting edition of Bat Minute '89! The next episode...

It's the OG Recipe as Jon and Niall bring it to thee - sans guest! Just the dynamic duo themselves for a well earned break. There's no break in the fun though as Bruce and his barista-esque butler politely battle - complete with Alfred being sent off on a special errand of his own. In a lovely turn of events, Master Wayne finally realises just how darn lovely Vicki is. Aww. Something special is br...

DEAD BODIES EVERYWHERE! As cops clean up the crime, the mayor can only worry about the festival - and his hot dogs. He goes full 'Jaws' on Gotham! Meanwhile, Joker has been busy decorating - his lair now complete with boxing gloves and porcelain dogs. Toot toot y'all. Bruce arrives back home and steals from Alfred before collapsing onto the couch. He doesn't know what is to come... A very special...

Our mystery man is revealed and he's armed with... a feather? It appears that Grissom DID sign his businesses away to these guys - but with his dead hands, covered in his own blood. IT WAS A HIT! A CON! Meanwhile, many a mime will congregate like a march of penguins and shots will be fired. NECKS WILL BE PIERCED! Back on the case to conclude this week's investigation is  Sean German  - t...

Vicki has clearly missed a scoop - what is going on at city hall?!? A wild mime appears. Then another. THEN ANOTHER. MIMES EVERYWHERE! The only thing creepier? The clothes on this damn kid in the crowd! While all of these shenanigans take place, Bob gets his secret snaps for something suspicious. Mobsters arrive on the scene to announce they are the new kings in town, but a dashing, clown-like fel...

A new week of Bat Minute '89 brings new questions: Is this location supposed to be an alleyway?!? Why does Vicki think it's perfectly okay to ruin something that seems to mean so much to Bruce? (Nice undercover hat though...) Are these gangsters IDIOTS? Why do these other reports find Knox even slightly funny? The Bat Minute Men will attempt to get to bottom of all of this, brooding Bruce  an...

STEAM, STEAM, STEAM! It's everywhere!  All over the city! INESCAPABLE! Meanwhile, Vicki goes full crazy and is in hot pursuit of her man. She could probably have done with choosing some rather less conspicuous attire though... Deep in the city, a shade-clad Bruce drops some flowers off at a mysterious, seemingly random, location. Or is it random? The only way to find out is to tune in for mor...

What better way to start your Wednesday than with a smouldering corpse? That's what Joker thinks, at least! While it steams away, Vicki and Knox do a little snooping on Mr Wayne. This starts with going through any and all files on the man and soon descends into literal stalking. I hope for Vicki's sake that she dons a decent disguise... To help our dynamic duo stalk their way through the minute at...

Your number one... a-guuuuuyyyys are back for another action packed week of Bat Minute '89! As Bob heads off on his quest, Joker totally loses the plot and starts talking to the dead. What a kook! The clown's plan? To grease those slimy gangsters once and for all! To investigate the doings a-transpirin' is the superhero team-up of the Bat Minute gang and Ash Lerczak (aka Doc Horror) - musician wit...

Antoine gets a little hot under the collar, so Jack sends the rest of the mob away to cool down and rethink their positions. Lawrence makes a dazzling debut! As Joker wipes away his deception, Bob is sent on a secret, spying, errand... All this and more rounds out another work of thrills, chills and kills. For one final time the minute by minute investigation will be aided by none other than ...
