‘The Batman’: Justice, Vengeance, and the Darkness Within


Listen Later

Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

‘The Batman’, starring Robert Pattinson, is a newer, darker take on the Dark Knight from visionary filmmaker Matt Reeves. Inspired by neo-noir films like Taxi Driver and dark thrillers like Se7en, ‘The Batman’ explores profoundly Jewish themes such as the difference between justice and vengeance, and how we deal with tragedy and trauma. Real-life Dynamic Duo, Rabbis Olitzky and Knopf, #unmaskthetruth of the Jewishness within the dark soul of the Caped Crusader’s latest film outing.
