n episode 125 we wrap up Batmonth - we end it on top with Batman done right! Christopher Nolan makes an as-close-to-perfect Batman series as we can ever hope to get (ok ok Heather is obviously the one writing this post - it doesn't make it less true).

In Episode 124, Heather and Liz take on one of the most popular runs of Batman. Batman Hush by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. This was quite the undertaking with 12 individual comics and about 1300 villians all playing a part in the Hush mystery. <Massive Spoilers in the podcast>

Welcome to week 2 of Batmonth! In Episode 123 we look into the movie series that sucked us in! Warner Bros. rebooted the Batman Franchise with Tim Burton directing the first live action Batman in over 20 years. Batman (1989) gave us Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The sequel, Batman Returns, shows us the not-so-catburgler-like Michelle Phfeffer kicking some Bat Ass and taking Names. We also learn that Liz has some difficulty relating to the character of Penguin, hmm, curious as to why that is?

We don’t stop there, we include for your listening pleasure the unparalleled Joel Schumacher films in the Series as we discuss crotch-shots, man-nipples and….. oh yeah… there is some Batman talk in there too.

Liz and Heather get a little silly reminiscing about the campy themes, leotards, and outfit coordinated henchmen. I mean, how does one recruit an entire hench-mob team of hockey players to do ones bidding?
