Everyone has a Batman opinion. Inside your imagination is a definitive Batman: a Batman who should behave this way, and a Batman who should not behave that way. Your tight grip on your Batman is why Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's carefully considered Absolute Batman works so damn well. They fully understand and appreciate how the character has congealed over the last eight decades into a rock-solid idea. For the last eight months, alongside collaborators like Gabriel H. Walta, Marcos Martín, Frank Martin, Muntsa Vicente, and Clayton Cowles, Snyder and Dragotta have chipped away at the quintessential Dark Knight. They've altered elements of his origin, removed his social position, and rearranged his relationship with his rogues. Their Absolute Batman is a Bruce Wayne in motion, moving toward the impenetrable idea in your head, but struggling to match it. Here is a character growing into something, evolving into a recognizable hero for 2025. After confronting Mr. Freeze in issues seven and eight and facing the final days of Matches Malone, Bruce Wayne must reassess his war on Gotham City crime. What lessons did he learn from that awful day at The Zoo? Do his nights as Batman honor his father's sacrifice? As he fights to find himself, a grotesque demonic doppelganger appears - Bane, the nineties sensation who once broke a bat from another universe. FOC for Absolute Batman #9 is today (5/19/25)! Tell your retailers to order a copy for ya. With this comic, Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta have cooked an undeniable banquet. As the best alternate reality stories should, they've weaponized your knowledge of these characters against you, subverting in radically compelling ways, while delivering what should never be manipulated. Today's podcast features two conversations. Up first, Scott Snyder joins us for a lengthy look back at the last eight months of Absolute Batman. We discuss Bruce Wayne's continuing development into the Dark Knight, his complex relationship with Joe Chill, his father's killer, and why Bane had to arrive sooner rather than later. Secondly, Nick Dragotta pops in for a conversation about his ultra chonky Bane design, and how what we've seen so far is only a hint of his true monstrosity. Absolute Batman #9 will finally arrive in stores, courtesy of DC Comics, on June 11th. Follow Scott Snyder on Bluesky and Instagram, and subscribe to his Substack.

Today's guest is a trailblazer in the world of film and makeup artistry—John Caglione Jr. has been at the forefront of transforming the way we look at characters in film through makeup and prosthetics. His career spans decades, and his work has left an unforgettable mark on some of Hollywood's most iconic films.From behind the scenes of Saturday Night Live to winning an Oscar for the 1990 film “Dick Tracy”, John has created iconic looks on equally iconic characters. Other films John has worked on include Martin Scorcese's The Departed, American Gangster, Mona Lisa Smile and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. His most famous work is perhaps his make-up on Heath Ledger's psychopathic Joker in the Award-Winning Box Office smash “The Dark Knight” released in 2008. On today's episode, John will be discussing his early years working on a SNL as well as being under the mentorship of legendary make-up artist Dick Smith, working with once-in-a-generation talents like Al Pacino and of course Heath Ledger, as well as detailing behind the scenes tales surrounding his process as a make-up artist.John Caglione Jr. - https://www.johncaglionejr.net/Daniel's Book "Breanne 1975" - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Breanne-1975-Daniel-Heaphy/dp/1804392030Connect with Daniel on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/d.heaphymedia/Connect with Daniel on Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/100067449105174/Connect with Daniel on LinkedIn - https://ie.linkedin.com/in/daniel-heaphy-4984381a3Daniel on IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13256427/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_q_DANIEL%2520HEAPHYEmail - creativelymepodcast@gmail.com“Creatively Me” Theme Music by Bukky - https://open.spotify.com/artist/1v7rqTLaVA3Ce6Q9R98dSq
Hey, all! Our Trilogy Series wraps up with an incredible, influential set of movies--Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Is there a hidden continuity of self that ties those works together?You've mentioned that Absolute Batman aims to confront contemporary fears. How do you balance integrating real-world issues like mass violence into a superhero narrative without it becoming overwhelming for readers?This version of Bane is described as having a “true form” that's finally revealed. Was there a moment early on in this series—or in your own Batman run—where you first imagined this version of Bane, or did he evolve uniquely within the Absolute Batman frameworkArk m in Absolute Batman seems less like a building and more like a state of consciousness. How did you want to reinvent the idea of 'asylum' in this story?This series has played with identity, memory, and repressed trauma—common Snyder themes—but how has fatherhood and your recent creator-owned work influenced how you're writing Batman now, years after your first run?You've said in past interviews that Batman is a character who builds. Does this arc tear him down in a way that still honors that core idea—or are you challenging that philosophy head-on?With the Absolute line reimagining iconic characters, what can readers anticipate in future installments, and how do you envision the evolution of this universe?
The Good Brothers make their long-awaited/long-dreaded return to reviewing The Zeta Project with a double feature of season two episodes "Resume Mission" and "Hunt in the Hub." Without a future Dark Knight to pique interest, the hosts are forced to try and find things to appreciate from the skeletal foundation of decent revenge story from Zeta's evil synthoid counterpart and a second episode that feels more like a cheap Adobe Flash quest game come to animation. The hosts manage to talk all the normal topics plus the Chicken Run Playstation game, the improbability of a future where billionaires monopolize privatized access to space travel, Homestar Runner and other early 2000s internet legends and muich more. Plus, a preview of the podcast's first-ever re-review of a Batman Beyond episode and much more await you on this week's edition of the DCAU Review.Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at https://buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReviewSubscribe to the pod on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and please consider leaving us a 5-star reviewSubscribe to our new YouTube Channel Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.comFollow us: Twitter/X @DCAUReview Instagram @DCAUReviewResume Mission Final Scores:Plot: Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 4/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 5/10Music: Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 5/10Voice Acting: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 6/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 23/40 – Liam: 20/40Hunt In the HubFinal Scores:Plot: Cal: 3/10 – Liam: 5/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 4/10 – Liam: 5/10Music: Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 5/10Voice Acting: Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 6/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 18/40 – Liam: 21/40

EP 196: 2008's Box Office Countdown (5–1) – Jokers, Jones, and ABBA (ft. Phoenix Clouden) Episode Description: Jason is joined by the ever unpredictable Phoenix Clouden (The Film Canon) to finish the epic climb through 2008's biggest box office hits! This is the top 5 where caped crusaders, crystal skulls, pandas, demigods, and dancing queens battled for cinematic dominance. It's a strange mix of gritty realism, nostalgic absurdity, and pop musical euphoria Films Discussed: Mamma Mia! (5) – Meryl, ABBA, and summer dreams you can sorta almost sing along to. Hancock (4) – A drunken antihero gets a redemption arc, and the movie continues. Kung Fu Panda (3) – The animated surprise that kicks harder than anyone expects. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2) – Aliens? Fridges? And the first real internet backlash blockbuster. The Dark Knight (1) – Ledger's Joker, Nolan's vision, and the box office juggernaut that changed the game. But is it...good? IN THIS EPISODE: Phoenix defends Kung Fu Panda as top-tier animation with real heart and craft. Jason revisits Hancock and some tone deaf creative choices. Can Mamma Mia! actually work as a movie? Was Crystal Skull ever really that bad, or just a victim of overhype? And does The Dark Knight still hold up as the superhero movie to beat?
Welcome to the hardboiled streets of 90s Chicago where a crime wave is at an all time high. It's up to you, officer Don Marshall, and you, Unnamed Female, to fight crime with as many bullets as possible. Then travel to the Wild West to also fight crime with as many bullets as possible. This is Konami's Lethal Enforcers arcade series. How was a knee-burning, motion-sensing game responsible for adding another arcade to the Lethal Enforcers family? Do you know all the words to the Hey Dude theme song? Is the Justifier the best possible name for a light gun peripheral? Was this game an inspiration for a certain scene in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight? We are asked what our favorite gun design is from arcade light guns (and our least favorite) and perhaps the question that Rob has been waiting his entire life to answer: who would win in the ultimate showdown between Aliens versus Predator versus RoboCop versus Terminator.

We return from our hiatus with the one and only Tom Taylor, to kick off season 10. Tom takes us through his past as a fire eater, playwright, and TV presenter, all the way up to his start in reading comics and then writing them, where he gave us books like Injustice: Gods Among Us, DCeased, Superman: Son Of Kal-El, Dark Knights of Steel, Nightwing, and now Detective Comics with Mikel Janin. We also delve into the importance of continued inclusion of diverse characters and stories in comics, the benefits of more positivity and less negativity in the comic fandoms, being interviewed by Anderson Cooper, and the events of the recently completed first story arc of his Detective Comics run, plus what is to come in the next arc, and beyond, plus lots more. This is a rare opportunity to hear Tom speaking in depth, so don't miss it.
In this podcast episode we explore the fascinating connection between the economic turmoil of 2008 and the movies that captivated audiences during that time. Discover how films like Up, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Dark Knight provided both escapism and reflection during a period of uncertainty. We'll delve into how the crisis influenced cinematic trends and even touch upon the current state of cinema in 2025. Get ready for an engaging discussion filled with movie clips and insightful commentary!

Dana and Tom with 10x guests, Robb Conlon (Founder of Westport Studios and Host of B2B Business Class) and Kieran B. (Host and Creator of the Best Picture Cast; @bestpicturecast on X, IG, Letterboxd - BPC, Letterboxd - Personal) discuss the Best Picture Winner of 2000, Gladiator: directed by Ridley Scott, written by John Logan, David Franzione, William Nicholson, cinematography by John Mathieson, music by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Richard Harris, and Djimon Hounsou.Plot Summary: In Gladiator, Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) leads his army to victory in a decisive battle under Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The emperor, disillusioned with his son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), wishes to pass power to Maximus to restore the Roman Republic. Before this plan can be enacted, Commodus murders his father and seizes the throne.Refusing to serve the new emperor, Maximus is sentenced to death. He escapes execution but returns home to find his wife and son brutally murdered by Commodus's men. Captured and sold into slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator under the training of Proximo (Oliver Reed), a former gladiator himself. Maximus ultimately works his way to Rome, igniting a battle not just for revenge but for the soul of Rome.As the story builds to a final confrontation, Maximus must fight one last time—against a corrupt emperor and the cruelty of the empire—to restore honor and justice and to fulfill a dying emperor's last hope.Guests:Robb ConlonFounder of Westport Studios and Host of B2B Business ClassLinkedIn: Robb / Westport StudiosPreviously On: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Die Hard (1988), The Godfather (1972), John Wick (2014), The Dark Knight (2008),
In 2005, filmmaker Christopher Nolan was about to become mainstream with the first movie in his superhero trilogy. Meanwhile, a group of developers in Derby were working on a video game tie-in for said movie that wouldn't turn out to be quite as popular. We're taking a look at an action adventure game that was neither a precursor to a game based on The Dark Knight, nor The Dark Knight Returns. We're talking Batman Begins.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we chat a little bit about trailers that feature Batman smiling, Trailer Voice Man, and Phoenix International. We also look at how important it was for this to be an interactive version of the movie in almost every way, as well as a cavalcade of celebs: a disinterested Morgan Freeman, a bloodthirsty Cillian Murphy, anbemused Michael Caine, and a Christian Bale that thinks all this video game stuff is a complete waste of time.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: the first glimpses of many things that would become staples in the Arkham games; instilling fear in your enemies by interacting with very specific parts of the environment; goons dropping their guns when they're scared; the optic cable from Splinter Cell; an exceptionally violent inverted takedown; familiar punching and kicking, as performed by a more acrobatic, yet less fluid Batman; the weird context-sensitive special move thing; NO BATARANG BUSINESS; climbing things with 70% arm and 30% leg; bonus Game Boy Advance opinions; a lack of yellow paint; training in the Himalayas; driving the tumbler around Gotham like it's a Burnout game; dingy rooms illuminated by beams of light coming through blinds; restrictions vs limitations; being rewarded(?) with clips from the film in between levels; odd differences in the narrative; Gary Oldman's absence; and a lockpicking minigame that's the same every single time.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Batman Begins is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Deus Ex on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

Send us a textHave you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Tim Burton's 1989 Batman transformed not just how we see the Dark Knight, but how Hollywood approaches superhero films entirely.When Michael Keaton was announced as Batman, fans were outraged. A petition with 50,000 signatures protested the decision. Even Batman creator Bob Kane expressed doubt. Fast forward to today, and many consider Keaton the definitive live-action Batman, perfectly balancing Bruce Wayne's sophistication with Batman's brooding intensity.Jack Nicholson's Joker performance remains legendary. After negotiating a percentage of box office and merchandise sales (earning him between $50-90 million), Nicholson delivered a villain for the ages - theatrical, unpredictable, and genuinely menacing. His iconic line about dancing with the devil still sends chills down spines decades later.What makes this film special is how it broke from convention. Rather than beginning with Batman's origin story, Burton introduces him as an established vigilante, gradually revealing his past through carefully placed flashbacks. The film's gothic visual style, Danny Elfman's unforgettable score, and practical effects created a Gotham City that feels tangible and timeless.Batman grossed $411 million worldwide, holding the record for highest-grossing superhero film until 2002's Spider-Man. More importantly, it proved comic book adaptations could be serious artistic and commercial ventures, paving the way for everything from Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy to today's superhero renaissance.What's your favorite Batman film? Does Keaton still hold the crown as the best Batman, or has another actor claimed the cowl? Share your thoughts and join the conversation!Support the show

The Good Brothers wrap up their Elseworld's Finest Month the right way, with a gargantuan team-up between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel to battle Lex Luthor and an army of DC Comics villains in the DC Animated direct-to-video feature "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies." The hosts chat about the adaptation from the source material from writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness, necessary departures from the source and how the plot does nothing to disguise itself as anything but an old-fashioned superhero story. Liam & Cal also discuss the choice from Andrea Romano to cast many voices from Batman The Animated Series and Superman The Animated Series in familiar featured roles as well as recognizable names from other favorite childhood media. The hosts also discuss the more cinematic soundtrack and the value of listening to pieces in isolation and so much more on this giant-sized edition of the DCAU Review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at https://buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReviewSubscribe to the pod on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and please consider leaving us a 5-star reviewSubscribe to our new YouTube Channel Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.comFollow us: Twitter/X @DCAUReview Instagram @DCAUReviewFinal Scores:Plot: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 7/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 9/10Music: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 35/40 – Liam: 33/40

“Some people just want to watch the world burn” is an iconic line from the 2008 Batman film “The Dark Knight,” but for some Americans, it's more than just a line, it's a reflection of how they actually feel about the country's political system.That's according to new data from the Center for Political Communication at the University of Delaware, which finds that a number of people in the U.S. have what researchers call a “need for chaos,” and it's those with these views that are placing more trust in figures like Elon Musk, President Trump, and the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.This week, Delaware Public Media's Kyle McKinnon spoke with UD Professor of Communication and Political Science Dannagal Young about how this “need for chaos” is fueling support for Musk and Trump, and what it reveals about the state of U.S. democracy.
Andrew Callahan explains why The Dark Knight is his favorite film, then pivots to a raw discussion on Luigi Manion, AI in healthcare, and why some see violence as protest. Patrick challenges the morality behind these takes in one of the podcast's most intense exchanges.
In this clip, Pat and Tom share a valuable lesson from golf legend Gary "Dark Knight" Player about seeking advice and coaching to elevate your golf game or any endeavor to the next level.

Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. This week, we're devoting our episode to Val and his smoldering performance in Joel Schumacher's first foray into the Batman franchise. There will never be another Dark Knight like you, Mr. Kilmer.Between Jim Carrey's unhinged take on the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones trying against all odds to out-crazy him, and the overwhelming aura of horny energy exuding from Nicole Kidman, there is a lot to unpack with this 90s classic. Strap in, we're getting takeout in the (very phallic) Batmobile.Next week, it's Schumacher's even more deranged follow-up, BATMAN & ROBIN.

Everyone knows who Batman is (unless you happen to live in Gotham City, then it might take a while) so here's my tribute to the Dark Knight's first big cinematic adventures since the 1960s Adam West camp-fest. Most of us were skeptical about a Michael Keaton/Tim Burton collaboration. We were expecting something ridiculous...Beetleman?!? Batjuice?!? To our surprise, 1989's Batman delivered, thanks in no small part to Jack Nicholson's even battier Joker. We then got a bonkers sequel, Batman Returns, with Christopher Walken in a supporting role that basically steals the show. Of course, I'm a bit biased and maintain that Walken steals every show. Even mine. This POD. CAST. So put on your BatBeats or whatever sort of headphones are handy and have a listen, you'll see who the real "joker" is.Go with a smile!

The Nerds continue The Dark Knight trilogy with the film that gave it its namesake-- 2008's The Dark Knight!
There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.Robins and Alfreds and Gordons…Oh my! Oh yes, it's our third ever Draft episode! In our last draft, it was villains. This time, it's allies. Welcome to the Ultimate Batman Allies Draft! Along with Daniel and Kris, the Director of Podcasting for the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, is here to once again devise another spectacular, gut-wrenching Batman draft. In this one, we're perusing all of Batman's most trusted partners in his war against crime. Whether it's the Bat Family, Justice League, or even a former foe turned ally, we're covering all the bases, spanning allies from film, TV, and comic books.As this is a huge Draft episode, the Bat Cave is once again expanded. The trio is joined by return guests Perry Constantine of the Superhero Cinephiles Podcasts, and Kris's co-host from the Media/Lit Podcast, as well as the Pod of Doom podcast on Black Sabbath at the pop break, and notorious Draft villain, Randy Allain! And making his debut on the podcast is pop break contributor, Ben Murchison!It's another emotional and draining draft as everyone tries to navigate some particularly tough categories, as we go deeper into the comic book world for some true deep cuts. If you're a diehard Batman comics fan, you'll love this episode! There's plenty of draft heart break in this one. Will Randy play the role of draft villain once again? Will The Dark Knight Rises be dissected for the 900th time on this podcast? Who goes #1? Who doesn't get drafted?Just like our other drafts, this is required listening for Batman fans!
In retrospect, it turns out that Michael Keaton might have been the coolest Batman of all time. I mean, did anyone really go see that Flash movie because The Flash is so awesome? Nope. Keaton Batman. That's why. In the mid-1990s, after Tim Burton stepped away from the franchise, the next couple of Batman movies would have a new director, and (gasp!) a couple of new Batmen. While we've seen some really excellent work from both Val Kilmer (RIP) and George Clooney, these were not their crowning achievements. Or should I say masking achievements? These movies quickly became a parody of themselves, goofy as hell, turning our Dark Knight into a Dork Knight. Oh, yeah...and Robin. Well, there were a few entertaining villains in the mix, and you might find some entertainment listening to me dissect these 2 oddities in the Batman cinematic timeline. But, truthfully, I don't think even Ozzy would want a taste of these bats.
It took us 4 years but we finally got around to talking about one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 21st Century, The Dark Knight. In a nearly two hour episode we discuss various impacts this movie has made on not only superhero films but in films in general. So ask us about our scars, and don't wear hockey pads, because we're what Gotham needs us to be. Follow Billy and Raul on Bluesky @masterofpuns196 and @raulvaderrdz as well as the main show @synspod

2005 began the resurgence of the iconic Dark Knight film series that saw a decline in years past. The movie started a trilogy that was once known as the greatest trilogy based on a comic book at the time. We look back 20 years later to talk about the impact of Christopher Nolan's milestone film accomplishments and see how it holds up after two decades. PLUS: A recap of a very revealing Daredevil: Born Again.

Dive deep into the shadows of Gotham as Geek History Lesson embarks on a gripping journey through Batman's Dark Age—spanning from 1985 to 2000. This era redefined the Caped Crusader, courtesy of visionary creators like Frank Miller, whose "The Dark Knight Returns" brought a gritty realism to Bruce Wayne's world. Alongside Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke," which delved into the twisted psyche of the Joker, and Grant Morrison's innovative narratives in "Arkham Asylum," these stories sculpted a darker, more complex Batman.
