Season 3, Episode 05

March 19th 2022

With the recent release of The Batman starring Robert Pattinson, I thought it might be interesting to go through all of the film Batmen in order to try and truly settle the question of who is the Best (adaptation of the character). Using a patented (not so) scientific method, I break the essence of Batman’s character into five major tenets and rank all nine of the cinematic versions of the Caped Crusader.

This was a lot of fun to do, and led to some very surprising results. It’s definitely one of my better episodes.
