Ep. 27: ‘Batman: The Movie (1966)’ or ‘Batman & Robin Meet Brad, The Revue Becomes Rad’

Holy Ballyhoo Batman! That's right Robin, this week the Ballyhoo will discuss your most daring adventure as Zach sits down with podcast and filmmaker Bradley Haag (Reel Nerds Podcast, 'Legend of Drunken Brew Master') to talk about the Pow, Wham, and Zocko 1966 film, 'Batman: The Movie'. Hop in the Bat-mobile and join our heroes as they recall their respective Batman Beginnings, dive into the formation of the television show and how the film attempted to further capture the Bat-mania ensuing, dig into the surprising similarities between this film and future superhero films, ponder just how silly and wonderful at once can the film get, and discuss the importance of the groundwork this iteration of Batman laid out for future generations of Bat-lovers. But whats this? Humor? Could it be from that Clown Prince of Crime? No gentle listener, but it does come in the form of our heroes coming to grips with Penguins disappearing henchmen, realizing the greatest flaw in the villains plan, re-writing the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, and reignite the debate about digitally removing mustaches.
