Episode 29: Batman with Dr. Blake Scott Ball

This week marks the return of Michael Keaton to the big screen as Batman in The Flash. So I thought it was an opportune time to revisit Batman (1989) with Blake Scott Ball. This is a large episode--the longest we've released yet, and for good measure. We get into why Batman is a necessary addition to the superhero pantheon, what happens if Gotham is in Mississippi, and finally, we rank all of the Batmen. This episode is so much fun.

Blake Scott Ball is the author of the Amazon best-selling book Charlie Brown's America: The Popular Politics of Peanuts. He is Associate Professor of History at the University of North Alabama.
