Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Ben Haslar from Reels of Justice joins the podcast. He brings along the movie Blade. Marty and Clif give Ben the movie Batman to watch.First up is Batman (1989), Tim Burton's gothic take on the Caped Crusader starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Clif, Marty and Ben revisit the film that launched the modern comic book movie era. They discuss everything from Burton's unique style to Nicholson's unforgettable Joker. This version of Gotham City still casts a long shadow over superhero films today.Then it's time for Blade, where Wesley Snipes slices his way through vampires in one of the coolest action films of the '90s. The gang talks about the movie's influence on comic book cinema, it's groundbreaking action sequences and why Blade doesn't get the credit it deserves for paving the way for the superhero boom.Along the way: Juggalo origins, Batman movie rankings, vampire fashion, Michael Keaton appreciation and memorable movie quotes.#TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #Batman89 #Blade #MichaelKeaton #WesleySnipes #MovieReview #ComicBookMovies Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookX (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

When four of Gotham City's supervillains team up to take over the world, the Dynamic Duo are the only two people smart enough to save the Security Council. But after Bruce Wayne gets kidnapped by Catwoman disguised as Comrade Kitka, his newfound love turns to heartbreak when her true identity is revealed. Why was the Batcopter decommissioned? Where have Bat standards fallen sharply? Who can't seem to speak to us normally? It's the episode that's willing to make a lot of logical leaps.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

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.On this month's podcast, we dive back into the DCU and the second live action film in James Gunn's universe – Supergirl.  It's no secret this movie has been a massive disappointment from a box office perspective.  That is certainly a topic of discussion in this podcast, but more importantly…how did we like the movie?   Alex Marcus, Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, returns once again as the Bat Crew review this movie in detail, spoilers and all!  And we'll just tell you right now, it's two against one!  Did two people like it, and one disliked it, or was it the other way around?  And who was on which side!We review this movie in depth: the performances.  The villain.  The story.  The filmmaking.  Where did it go wrong?  Where it went right.  What does this mean for the DCU going forward?  And what will its impact be on the superhero genre (you knew we had to dive into the superhero movie discussion!).We recorded this podcast the weekend Supergirl came out, and while it's certainly losing relevance by the day, we hope you'll enjoy this spirited discussion about the film!

In 1939, Detective Comics introduced a new superhero. He was just a man with no superpowers. He only had the mind of a detective and a whole lot of money.  He is a silent guardian, watching over the people of Gotham City. Protecting the good and punishing the evil.  He isn't the comic book hero we deserve, but he is the one we need.  Learn more about the history of Batman on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ryan, Miles, and Pete review the CURs for the upcoming Fight For Gotham City set

(Or ... "Knightfall - Part One"!) Now that we've discussed Superman's literal death and rebirth, we come to Batman's symbolic resurrection in the Iron Age: "Knightfall," a mega-epic so sprawling we'll need three episodes to come to grips with it. We begin with the Breaking of the Bat, in which the super-steroid-fueled Bane comes to Gotham City to prove himself the Dark Knight's superior. To do so, he'll unleash all the inmates of Arkham Asylum and wear down a Batman who's already physically and spiritually exhausted. With Bruce Wayne out of the picture, can his chosen successor, Azrael, defeat Bane without going too far? We'll discuss the origins of this arc, spearheaded by editor and legendary writer Denny O'Neil as a way to tell fans of grim ‘n' gritty superhero escalation to be careful what they wish for.Discussed in this episode: Batman #491-500, Detective Comics #659-666, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #16-18, plus material from Showcase ‘93 #7-8Bane might break the BAT, but donating to our Patreon won't break the BANK! patreon.com/ironageofcomics

This week, we head back to Gotham City to dissect Christopher Nolan's acclaimed superhero epic, The Dark Knight (2008). While we give massive props to Heath Ledger's legendary performance and the film's spectacular action set pieces, there's a lot to nitpick regarding its clunky dialogue and head-scratching plot logic.

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.In honor of the new DC Universe's upcoming second movie, Supergirl, we are honoring all the great DC female superheroes, and what better way to do that than with a draft!Joining Kris and Daniel this month, we have several Draft and Batman by the Numbers Alumni!  Once again, Alex Marcus, Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, is back again, as are both hosts of the Anime x Pop Podcast, Josh Sarnecky (also co-host of the Anniversary Brothers Podcast), and Amanda Rivas (also co-host of the Socially Distanced Podcast).Also making their return, it's Perry Constantine of the Superhero Cinephiles Podcast, and Derrick McDuff (of the Underrated and Midnight Film Society Podcasts), who last joined us last year for our Definitive Superman Draft!Per usual, the categories for this draft will span multiple media, and all will be discussed at the beginning of the podcast!  If you're a fan of these great DC Female Superhero (and Villian) characters, this draft is simply a must listen!

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is widely considered one of the best Supergirl stories ever written, but does it deserve all the praise? With the upcoming Supergirl movie drawing heavy inspiration from Tom King's acclaimed DC Comics graphic novel, we decided it was finally time to sit down and read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. After finishing the book, we found ourselves agreeing on some things, disagreeing on others, and having a fascinating discussion about one of DC's most celebrated modern comics. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in a full spoiler-filled review, discussing the story, characters, themes, artwork, pacing, world-building, and whether this graphic novel deserves its reputation as a modern DC Comics classic. COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes) Before discussing Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, we dive into several major topics from the worlds of comic books, superhero movies, and pop culture: • The new Lanterns trailer and its detective-inspired mystery elements • Our thoughts on Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart's dynamic • Why Lanterns could become one of DC Studios' most important projects • The endlessly delayed Blade movie and why Marvel Studios can't seem to get it made • What makes Blade such a seemingly straightforward superhero movie to adapt • The surprising announcement of the Jimmy Olsen & Gorilla Grodd television series • Our theories on what that bizarre DC project could become • New casting announcements for The Batman Part II • Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, and Brian Tyree Henry joining the cast • Speculation surrounding Harvey Dent, Gilda Dent, Victor Zsasz, Harvey Bullock, and other Gotham City characters FULL SPOILER REVIEW After the cold open, we jump into a deep spoiler discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Topics include: • Kara Zor-El's characterization • The story's themes and emotional core • Tom King's writing style • Bilquis Evely's incredible artwork • The strengths and weaknesses of the narrative • Pacing issues and storytelling choices • Favorite and least favorite moments • The supporting cast • The book's entertainment value • How faithful the Supergirl movie should be to the comic • Why our opinions on the story differ so much While all three of us agree that the artwork is phenomenal and that Kara is written exceptionally well, our opinions diverge when it comes to the pacing, character decisions, and overall effectiveness of the story. Two hosts came away largely positive on the graphic novel, while one host found himself far less impressed by the experience. Whether you're preparing for the upcoming Supergirl movie, looking for great DC Comics recommendations, or simply curious about one of the most talked-about superhero comics of the past decade, this discussion is for you.

On episode 159 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by Trey Flynn of The Extra Credits podcast to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. Riding high off the success of his two biggest films to date, Nolan went back to the world of Gotham City to conclude his Dark Knight trilogy with a full circle, political warfare, myth busting epic, settling one and for all his ties to the genre, while deconstructing what it means to put on the mask, and how does one carry on a legacy when faced with so much pain. After the death of actor Heath Ledger, it took a lot for Nolan to step back into his vision of Batman, but with the help of two memorable villains, and leaning into the political, social aspects found in the first film, he left the franchise on a financial high, with some questionable story choices that have aged well for some (Trey) and no so much for others (Ryan and Jay). Controversial, dated, unique, The Dark Knight Rises ends Nolan's superhero vision on his own terms, for better or for worse. The guys and their guest break down their thoughts on the film, what worked for them and what didn't, the appeal of Anne Hathaway, Nolan's use of the original characters throughout the third film, how radical or dull the film's politics are, the choices Bruce makes throughout the film, the puzzling ending, the opening plane sequence, and plenty of Bane voice impressions. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h47m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Interstellar. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

A few weeks ago, comics lost one of the legends of the late Silver and Bronze Age. While Gerry Conway is probably best known for his work on Spider-Man at Marvel, where he killed Gwen Stacy and creating the Punisher, and to a somewhat lesser extent creating Firestorm at DC, Conway had a solid run on both Batman and Detective Comics, as well as writing other Batman stories. In memory of Conway, this week we're reading three stories he wrote. We have a one-off featuring the return of the Silver Age Mystery Analysts of Gotham City, a two parter featuring Two-Face and a story from Brave and the Bold where Batman solves a space mystery with Green Lantern and the Guardians of the Universe The Adventure of the Houdini Whodunit (Batman V.1 # 295) Half a Hero is Better than None (Batman V.1 # 346, Detective Comics V.1 # 513) One of Us is Not One of Us (The Brave and the Bold V.1 # 173-174) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

On episode 157 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by founder and podcast host at InSession Film JD Duran and Editor-In-Chief of InSession Film Dave Giannini discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Dark Knight (2008). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. In what might be the single most important film of the 21st century for blockbuster filmmaking, The Dark Knight turned Christopher Nolan into the legend, iconic filmmaker he is today, creating a comic book, action packed crime thriller that elevated the entire genre, creating a film that audiences would obsess over for decades to come; the definitive comic book movie. With an all-time performance from the late Heath Ledger, Nolan upped the stakes of this second Batman film to be more about the fight to save soul of Gotham City, and gain hope in the future beyond the capes and clowns, and created a epic masterpiece. Ryan, Jay, JD, and Dave break down their thoughts on the film, the action set pieces, the battles for Gotham with our flawed heroes, Ledger's iconic Joker, the special effects work on Two-Face, the legacy of this film and why it's (more or less) aged so well.

Liam and Cal aboutta make a name for themselves here as they take a trip around the multiverse to visit a Cajun version of Killer Croc in a review of The Batman's season two episode entitled "Swamped." Killer Croc takes a page out of the No Man's Land/Matt Reeves' The Batman playbook in looking to turn Gotham City into his own personal flood zone, and Batman must work to stop a much more physically formidable opponent. The hosts discuss a rather straightforward plot, some fun visuals include a very different looking Croc than what the DCAU did, why Batman hates pet crocodiles, and Ron Perlman doing a Cajun accent. All of this and a preview of next month's theme celebrating the Girl of Steel's return to the big screen on this week's DCAU Review Elseworld's 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: 5/10 – Liam: 5/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Music: Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 5/10Voice Acting: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 6/10 Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 25/40 – Liam: 23/40

How does this reimagined universe differ from the classic Gotham stories we know, and why does it matter now? In this episode, Dan had to take some time this month for his wedding and honeymoon, so Pop Break Director of Podcasting Alex Marcus has returned to his old cohost chair, and he and Kris welcome the fantastic Justin DeVoe aka @reallifelobo for an in depth discussion of Absolute Batman Vol 1: The Zoo. Together, they uncover the innovative storytelling, character redesigns, and the fresh take on familiar characters — all crafted with love for the mythos and a desire to push boundaries. From the towering, terrifying new Batman to the gritty, real-world Gotham, this series offers a bold twist on a beloved universe. They explore how the creative team balances fresh storytelling with respect for tradition, reimagining heroes and villains alike.

On episode 155 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by podcaster, film critic Bob Goochman discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Batman Begins (2005). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. In the summer of 2005, Warner Brothers took the risk of handing over the world of Batman to Christopher Nolan, hoping he could revive a franchise that leaned too much into the cheesy nature of the Schumacher era, and had run the character into a bit of a joke on the big screen. With Nolan at the helm, he created a comic book film set in a world not too different than ours, and allowed for us to go on an emotional, action packed journey not just with the Caped Crusader, but with his real identity, Bruce Wayne. In doing this, Nolan delivered a massively entertaining blockbuster that would elevate his status to another level than what he was before, and showed he could handle such a monumental task; thus he never stopped making films of this size again. Ryan, Jay, and the Gooch break down their thoughts on the film, why the Batman property got stuck, Nolan's vision and version of Gotham City, how scary the film is at times, the use of mostly unknown villains at the time, the acting of Christian Bale and Katie Homes, and that epic reveal of the Joker card at the end of the film, signaling something grand is on its way. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 1h49m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, The Prestige. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Chosen by Chris, Heat arrived in 1995 as Michael Mann's grand, granite-jawed crime epic: a nearly three-hour Los Angeles thriller with the emotional temperature of a fridge full of loaded handguns. Produced by Mann and Art Linson, the film brought together Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on-screen for the first time, backed by a frankly ridiculous ensemble including Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Wes Studi, Mykelti Williamson and Ted Levine. With a reported budget of around $60 million, this was not some cosy little cops-and-robbers caper; it was prestige crime cinema wearing an expensive suit and staring silently out over the freeway.Mann shot Heat across Los Angeles with an obsessive eye for real streets, glass towers, night skies and urban loneliness, giving the city the feel of a living, humming machine. The production became famous for its realism, its meticulous preparation and its muscular sense of place, while the film went on to earn strong reviews, solid box office returns and a lasting reputation as one of the defining American crime films of the 1990s. Its influence can still be felt in modern heist films, police thrillers and brooding men looking meaningfully at skylines.Trailer Guy Plot SynopsisIn a city where every streetlight hides a secret, one master thief lives by a code: never get attached to anything you cannot walk away from in thirty seconds flat.But when a relentless detective begins closing in, two men on opposite sides of the law discover they may understand each other better than anyone else ever could. One hunts. One runs. Both are trapped by the lives they chose.This winter, Los Angeles becomes a battlefield of loyalty, obsession, coffee, suits, guns, and the sort of emotional repression that can only be solved by staring across a table like two divorced panthers.Fun FactsHeat was adapted from ideas Michael Mann had explored years earlier in his 1989 TV film L.A. Takedown.The character Neil McCauley was inspired by a real criminal pursued by Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson.Despite both appearing in The Godfather Part II, Pacino and De Niro did not share scenes in that film, making Heat their first proper on-screen pairing.The famous diner conversation was shot with multiple cameras to capture both actors' performances naturally.The film's long runtime meant its original VHS release had to be split across two tapes, which feels deeply appropriate for a film this committed to being massive.Dante Spinotti's cinematography uses natural and practical lighting to give the film its cool, metallic Los Angeles atmosphere.Kate Mantilini, the restaurant used for the iconic meeting scene, later closed in 2014.Christopher Nolan has cited Heat as an influence on his approach to Gotham City in The Dark Knight.The film's weapon handling and shootout sequences are often praised for their realism and have become a benchmark for crime-action filmmaking.MUSICCheckout the parody music from the show on Spotify ⁠here⁠.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

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.In our continuing yearlong theme for the Eras of Batman, we enter one of the most divisive eras of them all…THE SCHUMACHER ERAThe Batman franchise has seen many iterations, but few are as polarizing as the films helmed by director Joel Schumacher in the 1990s: Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. If you've ever wondered about the legacy of these films, or if you've found yourself laughing at their campy charm, you're not alone. In this episode, we'll delve into the Schumacher era of Batman, examining its initial reception, the nostalgic reassessment it has undergone, and why it remains a beloved topic among fans today. After that, they run down the top ten most iconic 90s costumes and gear from these two films!Joining Kris and Daniel to break it all down, we have both hosts of the Anniversary Brothers Podcast, Aaron and Josh Sarnecky!

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Lance Laster (Always Hold On To Arrow) shine a light on the 1999 storyline "No Man's Land," in which an earthquake-ravaged Gotham City is cut off from the rest of the nation.They discuss the event's innovative approach to assigning creative teams; emphasis on character — rather than plot — in what is ultimately a morality play; rich development of the Batman & Gordon partnership; and moral complexity of Gotham's heroes & villains as they vie for territory in the NML.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.Join the conversation on the social media channels for parent podcast Digging for Kryptonite:FACEBOOK GROUP: Digging for Kryptonite: A Superman Fan GroupFACEBOOK PAGE: @diggingforkryptonitepodINSTAGRAM: @diggingforkryptonitepodTWITTER: @diggingforkrpodBLUESKY: @diggingforkrpod.bsky.socialEMAIL: flatsquirrelproductions@gmail.comWEBSITE: FlatSquirrelProductions.comLighting the Bat-Signal is a Flat Squirrel Production.

When Frank Miller wrote and drew The Dark Knight Returns in 1986, he didn't just reimagine Batman—he detonated the character and rebuilt him inside a grim, dystopian Gotham City. This installment of our “1986: A Landmark Year in Comics” series revisits Miller's bold reinvention of Gotham's protector. On the pod, we recount the buzz in the mid-'80s when Miller took on one of DC Comics' flagship characters, the editorial freedom he was given with TDKR, and the immediate fan and critical reaction to the story. We also debate the controversy surrounding inker Klaus Janson's work on the book, as well as the endless array of TDKR homages (and rip-offs) seen over the years—including the recent Absolute Batman. And we tackle the big question: Is The Dark Knight Returns the greatest Batman story ever told… or just the most influential?
