    In this episode of GOTHAM UNIVERSITY, Jason and Mike discuss the film that's been on everyone's minds. The aptly named, "The Batman."

Listen in as they break down titular scenes with Paul Dano's Riddler, Robert Pattinson's evolution into the character, and Lt. Gordon's own story.

How does the two-parter stack up? What works, what doesn't?

Jason and Mike also discuss everyone's favorite PROPER Christmas movie, BATMAN RETURNS, as being the superior Christmas movie over that other Bruce-led action movie, Die Hard.
