Episode 266

Recommended Posts

Though it might have reshaped how the world saw Batman, and led directly to the creation of Batman: The Animated Series, Tim Burton's Batman (1989) is a seriously flawed film with bland characters, numerous plot holes and a Batman who has no qualms about killing.

I'm excited to hear this one. I don't know if you guys get into it but a book I'm reading right now posits Batman being an early example of Blockbuster by committee. There's a story of Nicholson carrying Basigner up to the top of the tower:

Jack: "Why are we going up here?"

Burton: "The studio wanted a tower scene."

Jack: "What are we doing when we get there?"

Burton: "I don't know."

What book is that? I think I may have read it.

I just finished listening to the episode and all I can say is the following:

Earth-2.net The Show Episode 266 Batman 1989: The James & Ian Show

only because I think Mike's seething hatred and utter shock took him over and left him speechless other then the fact we hear a loud "THUD" For the majority of the episode it's James and Ian talking about the movie and Mike pipes up whenever there's an opinion to be made.

EXCELLENT episode

AND I still say The Datk Knight episode should be some mildstone episode # such as 270-275-280, I know I have to be patient but still can't help expressing my opinion AND if schedules permit it should be Mike, Jenny, James, and Ian as a roundtable type discussion.

those are my 2 cents can't wait for more episodes and of course WFP37
