Film Deep Dive - The Batman

Feeding Curiosity

In this episode, Erich and Jordan discuss Matt Reeves' The Batman. We discussed what we enjoyed about different aspects of the film and compared it to its other superhero films. Naturally, we can't escape comparing it to the Nolan trilogy of Batman films. Overall, we enjoyed the film and looked forward to what comes next for this version of Batman. With that, we pass this off to you. What did you think of the film, and what are you hoping for next?

You can watch The Batman on HBO Max on April 18th!

This conversation was recorded before the deleted scene of the Joker was released. Erich had thought the character was two faces, given the scarred face seen in shadow.
