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 hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their 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 time to break out the crystals this month for a SUPERMAN BY THE NUMBERS podcast! That’s right, pack your parkas, because we’re going to the Fortress of Solitude. As we all know, DC’s other big superhero has a big movie coming out this summer. As this is the year of World’s Finest, it’s time to ramp up our coverage, and what better way to do our first ever Superman centric episode then by ranking the actors who have played the iconic Man of Steel.
With Superman, we couldn’t relegate this to just film. While Superman has some big movies for sure, his presence in live action television is just as prevalent, as these shows span multiple decades, and cover different periods of Kal-El’s life. Don’t worry – all the big TV appearances are covered! From the 1950s, to this decade, and all across film and television, this is the Superman rankings you need to hear!
Making their return for this epic ranking episode is the co-host of the Anniversary Brothers Podcast and Anime X Pop, Josh Sarnecky, and podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus. And per usual, Alex has his obligatory General Zod moment against Dan. Find out which ranking got Dan’s blood boiling this time. If you’re a Superman fan, this is a spectacular trip down memory lane, and all divisive Superman takes are spiritedly debated, including what is one of the most epic ranking ties in the history of this podcast. You’ll have to listen to find out why!
For those wondering, the Superman to be ranked are: George Reeve, Christopher Reeves, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, and Tyler Hoechlin.
