    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 Barman 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.

    Bonus! Johnny To’s windswept, smoldering superhero masterpiece may not exactly exist in the Batman continuity… but we sure as hell are going to talk about it anyway.Starring Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, we thought this bonkers dream of an action noir would be the perfect appetizer for our upcoming Schumacher era. Whether it was intentional or not, Schumacher’s films look suspiciously similar to THE HEROIC TRIO.

    Bruce Timm’s animated Batverse is for many people the defining adaptation of the character, and this week we’re here to tell you why.We’re going deep on THE ANIMATED SERIES over on our Patreon show (link below!) but here on the main feed it’s all about the original villain, The Phantasm, and how she helped inspire a tormented Bruce Wayne to leave his personal life behind for a life in vigilantism.Also…Abe Vigoda?

    Griffin Newman returns! And this time he’s brought with him the Bat, the Cat, the Penguin, and….Shreck? Yes, we’ve got THE TICK’s Arthur to talk all things superhero movies, performing in costume, transitioning from comedian to action hero, and why there will never be a better Bruce Wayne than Michael Keaton. Also, we gush about how truly reprehensible and brilliant Danny DeVito is in this film! He stayed in character throughout the entire production!
