Episode Details

“Why do we fall, Master Bruce? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. Batman Begin.“

This week, we’re celebrating the greatest tweet ever made. Michael Caine’s post from August 19, 2024 inspired a generation of Batman storytelling. And this is where is it all begins.

Also, we’re going to talk about Christopher Nolan.

Next week, we we either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Get ready for our epic THE DARK KNIGHT episode.
