The History of Batman

In 1939, Detective Comics introduced a new superhero. He was just a man with no superpowers. He had only the mind of a detective and a whole lot of money. He's a silent guardian watching over the people of Gotham City, protecting the good and punishing the evil. He isn't the comic book hero we deserve, but he is the one we need. Learn more about the history of Batman on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. This episode is sponsored by What Could Go Right? The news has a way of making it feel like everything is getting worse. But what if that isn't the whole story? What Could Go Right is a podcast that challenges the constant narrative of doom by asking a simple but powerful question. What could go right? Hosted by Zachary Carabell, each episode takes on a major issue shaping our world. Can we achieve superabundance without triggering AI doom? Will artificial intelligence and drones really bring about the apocalypse? Is there value in admitting what we simply don't know? Through conversations with leading thinkers, policy makers, scientists, and cultural voices, what could go right explores not only what is going wrong, but the progress already being made and why it matters. When the people building the world's most powerful technology are just as worried about it as the rest of us, is there still hope for a positive outcome? Go and listen to the full episode to hear more revelations from Sebastian Mallaby and Zachary Carabell about the future of artificial intelligence and motivations of the men driving its development.
