In this episode, to mark the release of the new incarnation of the Caped Crusader - Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson, we are dedicating an episode to exploring the twists and turns, the highs and lows of one of the most iconic superhero characters in cinema.

Before reviewing the new film, we share views on the cinematic legacy - from Adam West in the camp classic 'Batman: The Movie' (1966), to Tim Burton's dark reinvention 'Batman' (1989) with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, to the Joel Schumacher mid-90s films, to the triumphant Christopher Nolan 'Dark Knight' trilogy.

If that's not enough, we give our predictions ahead of this year's Oscars, and Michael deviates from the BatChat to share his thoughts having rewatched Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi/action 'Starship Troopers' which is now thought of as being one of the most misunderstood films of recent times.
