The Fandom Handbook # 5 - Batman in Film (Part 1 - Burton, Schumacher, and animated releases)

Since the newest film about Gotham’s crime fighter is now available to stream, it’s time to take a look at all of the films that came before. In this 2 part episode, host Tony Ponella is joined by Zuri Washington and Gearod Murphy to give you their thoughts on every theatrically released Batman movie. To give you a little tase of what each installment is like, they rank each installment as either “Must Watch”, “Worth Watching”, “Skippable, or “Never Watch”; so you can decide which of the films sound most worth your time..

 

In this first part, they discuss the first Batman films that premiered in theaters, directed by Tim Burton, and then by Joel Schumacher; after which they highlight the 3 theatrically released animated features about the Caped Crusader.
