It may have been less than a decade since we saw him in theaters last, but The Batman has got a new haircut, a fresh coat of eye shadow and a lot of emotional baggage to unpack.

## SUMMARY:

Julian Sanchez, Cory Massimino, and first time guest Carolyn Fiddler respond with swift justice to the our BatSignal and join us to grapple with Matt Reeves’s Caped Crusader. They answer questions like: how does the film depicts police? Is this the the first Batman film to include a commentary on race? And is this Batman more interested in vengeance or redemption?
