Question: Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light? We ask that of our listeners...we just like the sound of it. In this episode, we take a look back at the history of Batman on the big screen. So that means we take a look at the classic 1989 Tim Burton film that revolutionized the comic book movie genre, and his follow-up sequel Batman Returns. After our in-depth discussion about those films, we can only go up from there as we talk about Bat-nipples, one-liners, and ice puns as we tear into the Joel Schumacher 'classics' Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Before all that though, we get a bit campy as we talk about the very first Batman movie that shaped the way a whole generation viewed the Caped Crusader. It's a doozy of an episode, so get ready to 'pop your culture'!
