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.

The Eras of Batman continue with a couple movies we’ve discussed on this podcast multiple times, but any reason for us to discuss these two gems again is an opportunity we’re going to take.

The Tim Burton Era.

The Bat crew get together to discuss all things Batman 1989 and Batman Returns, the era that catapulted Batman into an official pop culture behemoth for years to come.

Joining us on this Burton journey is newcomer to the Batcave, Matt Farley, and making his return, but his first non-Draft episode, Kris’ co-host from Media/Lit, Randy Allain! And yes, Partyman is obviously discussed.

The four go through their thoughts and reflections on both these movies. Plenty of praise, some nitpicks, but a fun discussion, nonetheless. If you love these movies, you’ll love the in-depth discussion on both these films. We also praise why Michael Keaton is such a great Batman!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!

With the Burton Era, we heard the term “Bat Mania” thrown around all the time, and that resulted in plenty of BAT MERCHANDISE. That’s right, we’re ranking the BEST BURTON ERA BATMAN MERCHANDISE. In one of our most unpredictable rankings ever, we cover an eclectic mix of merchandise: Toys. T-shirt. Video Game. Trading Cards. And yes…the cereal.

If you have nostalgia for this era of Batman, this is required listening!
