Going where they have gone before, Andy and John return to the Gotham streets and examine the fears, frustrations and fantasies of Bruce Wayne's greatest opponents...his fans.

    Saloon Shots 21 - Team EDIT

    From Hollywood's earliest pioneers of creation and collaboration, the pairing of director and editor has helped to push and expand the language of cinema in ways never before possible. The titans of twin thinking have discovered ways to take the unique art of film editing and create a musical language on par with peers in any other collaborative art. With the tragic death of Quentin Tarantino's editor Sally Menke, the quiet and magical relationship between editor and director becomes the subject of a long night of drinking and discussion for John and Andy. Breaking open a bottle of the Saloon's finest, the rich and inspiring work of these great artists are given a proper toast of gratitude.
