Episode Notes

Cringe Benefits is back with a visit from actor, comedian, and improvisational all-star Mike McShane to talk about a little bit of everything through the lens of the legendary lone vigilante, Batman. This episode cuts a wide swath through the dark history of America's mental health system and the Dark Knight's mental health, women in comics and women in crime, and the ethics of keeping billions of dollars and a Boy Wonder in a cave under your mansion.
