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.
We’re back with another rankings episode! Last year, the panel ranked the Bat allies we’ve seen in movies, but now the crew rank who they want to see join Batman in his fight against crime that we have NOT seen yet in a live action film. We’ve got all the iconic Robins on the table, but that’s not all! If you’re a diehard comic book fan, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. We go deep into the Batman rolodex on this one. Daniel had to do a lot of Wikipedia reading for this one.
To help Daniel out, he brought in a couple comic book experts. We’ve got frequent contributor and podcast editor of the popbreak.com, Alex Marcus, and making his triumphant return, not seen since Episode 2 of this podcast, it’s co-host of the Blerd Watchers Podcast, Marshall Stevensen
This is a lively discussion as the panel jump around all corners of Batman’s history, discussing who they most want to see in a film, debating all the Robins, how much they value Batman Beyond, and discuss the pros and cons of such characters as Stephanie Brown, Kate Kane, Jean Paul Valley, and Luke Fox. Like I said, we got some deep cuts on this one!
Also, if you ever wanted to get the definitive HARVEY BULLOCK discussion in a podcast, this is it. We promise, this is the most in-depth Harvey Bullock debate you will ever hear on the internet, as Daniel nearly loses his mind on this episode. < Who will stand tall as the #1 ranked Batman ally we most want to see on film, find out who got last (it’s a shocker, trust us), find out why Ace the Dog was sadly excluded from the list, and listen to Marshall and Alex absolutely pile on Daniel’s pitch for a gritty Nightwing movie. It's a jam-packed, comics filled rankings episode. You DO NOT want to miss this one!
