"The Batman‪"‬ Pop Culture Double Date

The Caped Crusader has returned in solo live-action feature for the first time in a decade, folks, and this time we're spending time with his dark side, which, by the looks of things, may be his only side. In this episode, we ponder whether "The Batman" has taken more than its fair share of thematic inspiration from the The Dark Knight Trilogy, whether it was possible to shave precious minutes off the film's gargantuan running time, whether this movie really needed Catwoman and whether Robert Pattinson is a worthy wearer of the cowl.
