Batman ’89 & Batman Returns w/ Joel Gilbert

Batman wasn't always a surefire bet at the box office, but Tim Burton's dark, violent and hyper-sexual entry into the Batverse completely changed the Hollywood blockbuster landscape.

Jon is joined by his...a-number one...a-guy...and Batman '89 purist Joel Gilbert to discuss how The Caped Crusader fought his way back from relative obscurity to dominate the pop culture landscape of the era. The two discuss the insane marketing blitz behind the first film, Jack Nicholson's absurd payday, Michelle Pfeiffer's catsuit and what REALLY makes the Penguin tick (with a lot of Prince gossip thrown in for good measure) before Joel lists his favorite onscreen Bat-Things in The Trials.
