In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, nipples on the Batsuit, and a franchise-starting spoof.

Warner Bros wanted Batman & Robin quickly, it wanted it family-friendly, it wanted lots of merchandise. Director Joel Schumacher? He wanted to do the Batman: Year One story.

After Scream hit big in 1996, a couple of comedy projects bubbled up - but it was the Wayans brothers who hit gold with Scary Movie (although they weren't invited back for the third film).

Stories of both are told in this episode.
