The BatPodcast

John Stacks joins Pat to discuss his unique perspective on the release of the 1966 Batman TV series on DVD and Blu-ray, and tells how he became an accidental player in the process thanks to a lawsuit against his Batman resin kits.  

Martial Artist DAVE LEA made a big, bat-shaped impression on celluloid as Michael Keaton's fight double in 'Batman'. And he made such an impression on director Tim Burton that he was promoted to fight coordinator for 'Batman Returns', in addition to doubling for Keaton once again. Dave graciously made room in his very busy schedule to tell us all about the amazing personal journey that has taken him from London to Malaysia to Hollywood and reveals some awesome inside stories about the making of the Tim Burton 'Batman' films. Dave also shares some of his personal and training philosophies that have kept him at the top of his game over the years. He's a very cool guy and believe me- as someone who has seen the man in action up close- you'd want him on your side in an alley fight!
