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.
It’s hard to believe this podcast has been going over a year, and we have NOT done an episode solely focused on the Animated Series. In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the last episode of the Animated Series, we’re finally rectifying this error!If you love Batman villains, and the animated series in particular, this is the podcast episode you’ve been waiting your whole life for! Yes, we’re ranking the Animated Series villains. This will be the first episode in a long list of VILLAIN-centric episodes in 2024, as 2024 will be the year of the Batman Villains on the Batman by the Numbers podcast!
The heated debates begin as Daniel is joined per usual by Podcast Editor of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, and while he was unfortunately not able to join the podcast due to being under the weather, Justin Mancini, co-host of the new rock podcast Every Pod You Cast, makes his presence known as his rankings were also counted to tabulate the final countdown.
This was a very difficult ranking, as the two hosts agree there were no real weak links. Who did we include on the list??? You’ll have to listen to the episode! Also, find out why Daniel is a little lukewarm on the last season of the series, which of Alex’s rankings made Daniel blow his top this time, and find out which villain Justin had very high that the two co-hosts did not agree with.
Aside from the villains, the duo get into why they love the animated series, why it stands the test of time, and throughout the rankings discussion, plenty of great episodes are discussed.You’ll also find out which episode is Daniel’s all time favorite…Batman. The Animated Series. Animated Series villain rankings. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT OUT OF A BATMAN PODCAST????!!?!??!
