Batman by the Numbers: Definitive Batman Villains Draft

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 2024, we brought you the year of villains.  We ranked the
animated series villains, all the Joker
actors, and most recently, Batman villains
who’ve yet to make their live action film debut. 
All these episodes are proof that more than any other superhero,
Batman has the deepest roster of great villains.  We talked
about Professor Pyg for crying out loud.


In our last episode of 2024, it’s time bring this theme home in
style.


We’re drafting again, and this time, it’s all VILLAIN THEMED.


While villains were a category in last summer’s
Definitive Batman Draft, this draft takes the
concept of a Batman villain even further, as we now draft
specific iterations of villains spanning multiple movies, TV
shows, comic arcs, and much more.  To mimic one of the great
Jokers, “wait till they get a load of these categories.”


Trust us when we tell you, we’ve come up with the definitive list
of Batman villain categories.


Returning to draft with Daniel and Kris are Alex Marcus,
Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, and Randy
Allain, co-host of the Pop Break’s Pod of
Doom, as well as Kris’s co-host of the Media/Lit
Podcast.  Also making his return to the podcast, it’s
co-host of the Anniversary Brothers podcast, and
Pop Break’s Anime podcast, Anime x Pop, Josh
Sarnecky.


Without spoiling too much, we’ll just tell you the first two
rounds of this draft are completely chaotic.  We can’t
stress this enough; you will be surprised early at some of these
picks.  


We present to you the DEFINITIVE BATMAN VILLAINS DRAFT!
