In this episode of Moving Panels, Laramy Wells is joined by Gerry D from Totally Rad Christmas to dive into Season 1 of Marvel’s Daredevil. The conversation explores how the series redefined superhero television with its grounded tone, brutal action, and deeply human take on Matt Murdock.

Laramy and Gerry break down the show’s strongest episodes, examine one that doesn’t quite land, and dig into the comic book roots that shaped the season—especially Frank Miller’s The Man Without Fear and Born Again. They also discuss Wilson Fisk as one of Marvel’s most compelling villains, the role of Catholic guilt and spirituality in Daredevil’s story, and why this season remains essential viewing years later.

Is Daredevil Season 1 a must-watch or just another Marvel experiment? Tune in to find out!

Fear is one of the most powerful forces in superhero storytelling. In this Moving Panels: One Shot, Laramy Wells is joined by Tim Williams and James Brooks to explore how fear shapes heroes, villains, and the worlds they inhabit. From Batman turning fear into a symbol, to Daredevil enduring it night after night in Hell’s Kitchen, to mutants, monsters, and myths built on what people fear most, this conversation digs into why superheroes don’t succeed without fear — they succeed because of it.

If you’ve ever wondered whether heroes overcome fear, weaponize it, or simply learn to live with it, this One Shot is for you.

Batman needed a new beginning — and in 2005, he got one.

On this episode of Moving Panels, Laramy is joined by Tim Williams and Blake Fowler to break down Batman Begins, the film that redefined what a Batman movie — and a superhero origin — could be.

We talk about the deliberate decision to delay Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, the influence of Year One and The Man Who Falls, and why fear is the central theme holding the entire movie together. From the League of Shadows and the Ra’s al Ghul misdirection, to Scarecrow as a psychological weapon rather than a final boss, to the importance of characters like Carmine Falcone and Lucius Fox, this episode explores how Batman Begins earns its mythology instead of rushing it.

We also discuss Thomas Wayne, Rachel Dawes’ view of Bruce’s true identity, the destruction of Wayne Manor, and why Gotham itself feels like a system that needs confronting — not just a city that needs saving.
