Episode 291: The Batman?

Comic book expert and host of the AintThisTheFun show on YouTube, Erik Laws, joins Erik Childress to go through Matt Reeves’ The Batman. There is a lot to unpack from the casting to how it distinguishes itself from the other versions of the character. They look at all the casting decisions, is anyone having any fun during this one and, of course, that score from Michael Giacchino. Do Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz bring something new to the Batman/Catwoman dynamic or are they treading over old ideas? Does the film have more in common with the Burtons, the Nolans or even something by Steven Spielberg? They aren’t here to rank, they are here to discuss and Reeves’ three-hour film certainly invites a lot of that. This is a public episode.
