Batman By The Number: Batman Returns 30th Anniversary

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.


In this episode, Daniel is joined once again by Podcast
Editor Alex Marcus as they ring
in the holidays with a cherished Christmas classic – Batman
Returns!  Yes, this episode is solely focused on Tim
Burton’s 1992 masterpiece, and one of the most hotly debated
Batman movies ever made.


The dynamic duo discuss the mixed reception the film
received at its release, why it’s had such a resurgence in recent
years, all the classic moments, debate if Batman has a character
arc or not, and yes, they tackle the obligatory “Is this a
Christmas movie?” debate.


If you love Batman Returns, or hate it, this is the
episode you’ve been waiting for.  So, break out the banned
McDonalds Happy Meal toys, raw fish, zombie cats, and proposed
power plant plans, and listen to one of the most in-depth
discussions on Batman Returns you will ever hear.


There also may or may not be a Danny DeVito Penguin
impression in this episode.
