Batman By The Numbers: Summer Bat-News Recap

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. This month, the Bat Crew takes a break from rankings as they fire up the oversized Bat Computer and look ahead to what’s in store for Batman, covering all the big news of the summer. Daniel is joined once again by Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin and Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus, as they give their opinions and hot takes on all the Bat happenings, including the unprecedented cancellation of the Batgirl movie, which sent Bane sized shockwaves throughout the internet.  They also dive into the long and winding road that has been The Flash movie, Ben Affleck’s apparent return in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and the official confirmation of a sequel to this year’s The Batman. The crew also digest the announced Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, which sees not only the return of Joaquin Phoenix, but catapults Lady Gaga into the franchise.  Also, there may, or may not be an argument or two about the first Joker movie as well.   If you want an efficient, streamlined catch up of what’s going on in the world of Batman, look no further!
