Batman gets married! For real! I chat about making the episode Chemistry with fantastic Batman and DC animation writer Stan Berkowitz (Justice League: The New Frontier, Batman Beyond, Superman). Then, I chat with my good buddies Dan Lippert (Big Grande, UCB's Winslow, Camp WWE) and Harry Chaskin (Robot Chicken, Friendship All-Stars) about Robin's cake eating habits, creepy plant people and Poison Ivy. We also discuss about our new stop-motion comedy short Monster Island! Sponsored by Tim Drake’s Cakes. Rate + Subscribe on iTunes! Donate at www.patreon.com/btaspodcast.
