Batman By The Numbers: Batman Ninja (2018) Review

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 host Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor and
Resident Bat-Maven, as he brings on several guests every month to
share his 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.


Podcast Editor Alex Marcus joins Daniel once again, as the crew
returns to the animated realm to review 2018’s anime, Batman
Ninja.  As this is an anime movie, we threw up the signal
and called upon a couple experts – the cohosts of the Anime x Pop
Podcast, Josh Sarnecky (also co-host of the Anniversary Brothers
Podcast), and Amanda Rivas (also frequent co-host and guest on
the Socially Distanced podcast).


Josh and Amanda lend their expertise to tell us how this fares as
an anime movie, as Daniel and Alex have no idea what’s going
on.  Aside from that, we delve into how well this movie
utilizes the world of Batman, specifically its villains, the
visual style, and go off on a Robin tangent – why can’t Batman
movies get Robin right! Join us for this second trip into the
animated world, as Daniel just wants this to be better than
Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham (did he get his wish?), and
listen to Alex wax poetically on the comedic chops of one Alfred
Pennyworth.


Is the Batman anime experiment worth a recommendation…LISTEN
