In episode 260 of The Batman Universe Podcast, hosts Scott and BJ revisit the 1966 phenomenon that was Batman: The Movie, starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Burgess Meredith, Lee Meriwether, Frank Gorshin, Caesar Romero, and Alan Napier. The two have fun talking about their favorite moments, the strange, sometimes subversive humor, the only ending where Batman kinda, sorta loses, and more.

The two also talk about YET ANOTHER trailer for The Penguin starring Colin Farrell, Clancy Brown, and Cristin Milioti. Luckily, we have a release date of Thursday, September 19th. Watch the trailer here:

Lastly, Scott and BJ cover the Batman: Caped Crusader news that came out of a panel at San Diego Comic Con. In an exciting surprise, Minnie Driver is playing Oswalda Cobblepot, The Penguin, in the show, and she’s a cabaret-singer-turned-mob-boss. Early reviews are also in, and they are mostly positive.
