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
Paul talks about Dune, Matt talks about OG Batman, and Jacob talks about Matt's bathroom story, sorta. We give high praise to Jack Nicholson and Colin Farrell. Matt shares stories from Belize, and is still griping about disco fries. Plus a Scoopardy.
Transformers / Energon Universe outsold every DC comic book in May 2024. Even Batman. That is NOT a good sign for the overall health of this comic book publisher, or the direct market as a whole.

During this week's exciting episode, Sean V. Bradley and L.A. Williams was able to get to speak to the man behind the Batman mask, Josh Aryeh. The dedicated man that plays Batman goes through how this role has inspired him to create a legacy for children around the world, but how to maintain a business and balance your personal interests!About Josh Aryeh The Long Island, New York Native, Josh Aryeh had a very average American upbringing: a loving household, and a big family. However, his story is anything but average. At a young age, Aryeh experienced bullying from his peers and the loss of a younger sister. As troubling and devastating as that is, he decided to turn those unfortunate encounters as a motivating force to develop a charity for children that seek inspiration from their idols!The power behind Batman derived from a gentleman named Lenny that would dress up as Batman, visit children in the hospital that are undergoing a battle through illness, and share his luxury sports car as the one and only, Batmobile. In a tragic accident, Lenny's legacy was almost overlooked and forgotten until Josh Aryeh stepped up to make sure his nobility was never disregarded.Entrepreneurship ResourcesDealer Synergy & Bradley On Demand: The automotive industry's #1 training, tracking, testing, and certification platform and consulting & accountability firm.The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast: is the #1 resource for automotive sales professionals, managers, and owners.

clickhere Visit the Radio America Store web site.Buy your 50 mp3 for &5.00 Clark Kent is the secret identity of Superman. Kent, as opposed to Superman, is traditionally presented as behaving in a more introverted or mild manner compared to his superheroic self. John Byrne's The Man of Steel revamp drops many traditional aspects of Clark Kent in favor of giving him a more aggressive and extroverted personality, including making Kent a top football player in high school and a successful author. Recent storylines restore elements of the earlier mild-mannered version of Kent. Clark Kent is a reporter at the Metropolis newspaper The Daily Planet, which allows him to keep track of events in which he might be able to help. Fellow reporter Lois Lane is often the object of Clark's affection; Lois's affection for Superman and rejection of Clark are a recurring theme in Superman comics, television, and movies. Unlike Batman, Superman considers himself Clark Kent first and Superman second. In an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Superman says, "Superman is what I can do; Clark is who I am." Clark keeps his Superman identitity a secret to protect his loved ones. Various methods for keeping his Superman's identity secret over the years include his using "super-hypnosis", subliminally causing people to not make the connection, compressing his spine as Clark Kent to become shorter, and studying the Meisner acting technique to switch seamlessly between personas. Modern comic book stories show that to everyone, Superman is the greatest hero in the world and a larger-than-life figure, and no one thinks to look for him living as a normal human. Furthermore, since Superman goes into public unmasked, most people assume that he has no other identity. Even Batman commended him on his disguise. As long as he does not let on that he has another life, there is no real reason to look for a secret identity. When first confronted by evidence that Clark Kent is Superman, Lex Luthor dismisses it, saying, "No one with the power of Superman would be living as a normal man".
