Batman By The Numbers: Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse)

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.As this year marks the theatrical introduction of James Gunn’s new DC shared Universe, we take a look back at another DC universe, that of the CW, and their five-part series that aired in 2019-2020; Crisis on Infinite Earths.  Spanning five shows, and an endless roll call of DC characters, we got a lot to cover!As this was the ultimate CW endeavor, we couldn’t do this month’s episode without Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, as the CW expert shares his knowledge and wisdom on what worked, didn’t work, and everything in between.While old hat to Alex, this was Daniel’s first viewing of the full event.  Did he like it??  Well, you’ll have to listen to find out.The duo also discuss the cameos, who their MVPs of the series were, and does Daniel re-evaluate his take on Brandon Routh’s Superman after this Crisis performance?  If you’re a diehard CW fan who followed these series as closely as Alex did, this is a must listen episode!
