Pat returns to the show to talk about a movie... he actually likes for once! The Dark Knight Rises might be the biggest and the dumbest of the bunch, but it's also some of the most fun in the franchise. This one was so big, we split it up into two episodes!

Brian & Zach forgo their traditional wiki summary... and end up with what is possibly the rambliest recap of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" on the internet. You either read a recap like a hero, or you ramble long enough to see yourself become very sleepy.

Jesse Eisemann (Cracked) returns to talk about the Batman reboot that introduced the idea of rebooting a franchise to Hollywood. We're talking Batman Begins, which is only the.......... beginning...... to a really great stretch of movies.

Willie Muse joins Brian & Zach to make the case that Batman & Robin has been a perfect movie this entire time.

Emily joins Brian & Zach to discuss what must be the horniest Jim Carrey vehicle to ever star Batman... Batman Forever!

Jeffery joins Brian & Zach to talk about Batman's first theatrical animated adventure... and probably one of the best movies in the entire series, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm!

Bats! Cats! Nasty Little Freaks! Brian and Zach take a look at what is probably their all-time favorite Batman movie-- Batman Returns! How did a Summer blockbuster this ballsy ever get made? Will Hollywood ever make anything like it again? Another rhetorical question to throw out here to give this description some kind of end??

Batmania is in full swing as the boys return to their BATMAN movie rewatch. How does Tim Burton's original movie hold up? Can we make heads or tails of the story? How did The Joker fit that big gun down his pants? This and more!

We're off this week because of Brian's move! We dug this out of the vault-- Brian, Patrick, and Zach discussing DRAFT DAY on an unreleased pilot for a sports movie podcast called GAME TAPE!

Batman talk will resume next week!
