The Batman

Episode 48: The Batman (2022)
Theme: Batmen
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis strap on their emo eyeliner, put on their sad-boy hoodies, and plunge head-first into The Batman — the only three-hour detective noir brave enough to ask, “What if Gotham was 93% rain, 5% crime, and 2% Nirvana licensing fees?”

Join your two favorite members of the Let’s Talk About Flix-verse as they unpack:

• How Robert Pattinson plays Bruce Wayne like a man who gets winded walking up stairs but can fist-fight thirty guys in a subway.

• Why Paul Dano’s Riddler is the only Batman villain who looks like he absolutely moderates a Reddit conspiracy forum.

• How Catwoman keeps accidentally walking into better movies every time she enters a room.

• Why the Penguin is somehow the most realistic character despite being played by Colin Farrell in a pound of prosthetics.

• How Gotham is apparently six inches above sea level and always seconds away from becoming SeaWorld.

From thumb drives to thumb removal, from rooftop angst to sewer-level terrorism, Oz and Curtis break down a film where Batman finally remembers he’s supposed to be a detective — not just a guy who punches poor people with gadgets.

Final Verdict
Oz — Seven good dad jokes
Curtis — Nine exploding Alfreds
Both — Still yelling “VENGEANCE!” every time they enter a room.
