Now Playing Podcast Presents: The Batman Retrospective Series – Details, episodes & analysis

The Dark Knight has been reinvented for every generation, but Gotham's stories don't belong to Batman alone. In this definitive Now Playing Podcast retrospective, we review Batman's big-screen adventures across every cinematic era. From Adam West's campy Caped Crusader to the gothic vision of Tim Burton, the neon spectacle of Joel Schumacher, Christopher Nolan's grounded trilogy, Ben Affleck's battle-hardened Batman, Robert Pattinson's detective-driven take, and every theatrical adventure in between, we also venture into Gotham's cinematic side streets with films like Catwoman, Joker, and Mask of the Phantasm. As new Batman and Gotham films arrive, we'll keep the Bat-Signal lit, exploring every new chapter to determine which heroes and villains truly deserve a place in Batman's legacy.
