Batman (1989) - The Special Episode

Bam! Pow! We have a supersized episode for you because we are covering one of our favorite superheroes: Batman!!! Our March Madness winner, Batman (1989), was a pop culture phenomenon that inspired a whole new love for Gotham’s Caped Crusader. AND we are so lucky to be joined by our resident comic book and superhero expert: Ben! Ben walks us through the world of Batman comic storylines and their relationship to on-screen portrayals of the Dark Knight. We discuss our ideal Bruce Wayne/Batman and Joker characteristics, why we like Batman’s villains so much, our thoughts on the controversial casting, our appreciation for Tim Burton’s vision, and more! Ben also bestows upon us his ~definitive ranking~ of Batman adaptations. Our Bat Signal is up and we can’t wait for you to take flight with us in the quest to defend our love for this Batman movie! *NOTE: This episode contains explicit language and sensitive material *NOTE FROM EMMA: At 5:35 “Catwoman” is meant to be said instead of “Batwoman” *NOTE FROM ISABELLA: Shout-out to the actor who plays the waiter falling over in the museum scene- you did an awesome job!
