Description
This week we dip our toes into the DC Universe talking about The Batman (2022). Directed by Matt Reeves, the film stars Robert Pattinson as the Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler and Colin Farrell as the Penguin. When the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city’s hidden corruption and question his family’s involvement. This is a fun one indeed, causing a fair bit of division in opinion amongst us all. We discuss the evolution of the Batman franchise, bold casting choices and costumes. The Batman is currently available to watch in UK cinemas. Next week, we will be taking a look at The Phantom of the Open (2021), where we are so excited to be joined by the director - Craig Roberts. The Phantom of the Open is available to watch in UK cinemas. Transcript available here. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
