About this episode

The episode discusses the impact and significance of the film 'Batman Begins' in the comic book genre.

Why do we Pal? So we can learn to throw ourselves back into podcasting! This modern comic book classic shifted the paradigm, lifting this bat who crime fights to the heights of an all-knew manner of acclaim with a brand new grand design, not Banner but a Bruce of a different hue, a Wayne whose world wasn't big enough for both him and you-know-who, a Ghul of a different shape, a cruel kinda cityscape, a brooding Bale with a tooled-up cape, beginning in only the way that a bat can, man. Also, Katie Holmes.
