The Batman (2022)

It’s the end of an era for us and the beginning of yet another Bat franchise!

Theres a Dark Knight for every generation, and this one is very emo, has runny eye shadow, calls himself “vengeance,” and is directed by Matt Reeves.

We have some complicated thoughts about this very compelling new vision for Gotham City. Whatever you think about THE BATMAN, you’ve got to admit: The Riddler is a good singer.

Next week we’ll be saying goodbye to The Batman, tying off some loose ends from our miniseries, answering listener questions, and… announcing our next miniseries!
