We are talking Batman... again on Gen-X Reverb. Why? Because we love Batman? Nope... Mark and Justin missed out on the Bonus Episode that Bradley and Ken did. So they wanted to join in the fun. Can lightning strike in the same place twice? We'll let you decide. But first, we have a quick game of name that tune or as Ken knows it, continued reminders that he might have been adopted. Answers to the name that tune will appear at the bottom of the show notes after a spoiler disclaimer.
Kenny confesses that he just doesn't care for R&B.
Bradley isn't opposed. Justin and Mark are definitely fans.
Bradley is hosting this round-robin episode and we start out talking about our first exposure to Batman. The 1960s classic starring Adam West.
Bradley doubles down on the fact that we are discussing all things Batman (spoiler alert: We didn't even come close)
Here is the video that Bradley was referring to: Check out all the Celebrity Window Cameo's in the series: https://youtu.be/WmyCgHyiNcE
Justin admits... he doesn't remember the series much.
Moving on to Batman (1989) - Michael Keaton
Everyone agrees it's a great movie and really set the standard for the movies that followed.
Batman Returns (1992) - Michael Keaton
We all agreed this seemed to be the beginning of Batman descent toward the absurd. We don't need our Catwoman lapping up milk... Justin (again ,the Gen-X who was most interested in revisiting Batman. Didn't care for it)
We derail briefly to discuss Sky Cap'n. If you haven't seen it. Skip it.
Batman Forever(1995) - Val Kilmer
Val Kilmer received the most accolades in our non-scientific Instagram poll.
Justin-Didn't like it.
This is the introduction of Bat-Nips!
Batman&Robin(1997)
This one was just bad...
We actually decided later to end the episode here. While resident nerd, Ken , could passionately defend the Dark Knight trilogy, we agreed it wasn't exactly a fun trilogy and decided in order to keep things upbeat to cut it here.
Thanks for Listening!
