Episode 124: Ice Fetishization

BatChat With Matt & Will: A Batman Ranking Podcast

It's winter here in the US, and it is cold (well, it should be anyway. Damn climate change). And who is colder than Victor Fries, the villain known as Dr. Freeze. Wait, it's Mr. Freeze? Isn't he at least a Ph.D if not an MD? So Dr. Doom can call himself a doctor with his honorary degree from Latveria U, but Freeze is just a mister? Well, that's something. Anyway, Freeze was a pretty generic cold villain until he was redefined for Batman: The Animated Series. And since then, that particular origin has made tis way into the comics, with different variations. This week, we're reading three different versions of that modern Freeze origin. One comes from Will's favorite, Paul Dini, one is from the New 52 and one is part of DC's recent One Bad Day one-shots.
