Soderbergh EMERGENCY EPISODE: The Batman (2022)

Unless you've been bat-living under a bat-rock, you've heard the news that Steven Soderbergh is stepping in to help Matt Reeves finish principal photography on THE BATMAN: PART II - which makes 2022's THE BATMAN an essential text for our podcast project! We talk about this very unexpected development before confronting the famous Batman himself. What did we expect from this Batman film? What did we end up getting? Are we too old for this sort of thing? Why is the movie three hours long? Will anyone still listen to the show after this? Tune in to find out, bat-listeners!
