There\u2019s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.\xa0 No matter how many times he\u2019s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City\u2019s greatest defender.\xa0 With so much Bat content out there, there\u2019s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!\xa0 This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman\u2019s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.
\nJoin host\xa0Daniel Cohen, Pop Break\u2019s former Film Editor and Resident Bat-Maven, as he brings on several guests every month to share his passion for the one and only\xa0Dark Knight.\xa0 From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.\xa0 Bottom-line: If you\u2019re a Batman fan, this is required listening.
\nIt seems like only yesterday the Batman by the Numbers crew was arguing over which was better; Batman & Robin or BvS.\xa0 That was our very first episode, as we ranked all the Batman movies.\xa0 That was two years ago.\xa0 And just like the Batman franchise, we\u2019re still going strong!
\nWelcome to our big TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY episode!\xa0 And boy, do we have a big one.\xa0 Even Two-Face would approve.\xa0 In the spirit of Fantasy Football draft season, Daniel wanted to combine his two favorite hobbies; Batman and Drafting.
\nThat\u2019s right.\xa0 We did the DEFINITIVE BATMAN DRAFT!\xa0 Daniel is joined by his first two co-hosts from the pilot episode, Podcast Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, and Pop Break Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin to draft the Definitive Batman team.\xa0 But what fun is a draft with only three people??\xa0 Daniel moved some of the batmobiles, bat planes, and bat boats to make room in the Batcave for five other all-star guests!\xa0 Making a return to the podcast, we have Perry Constantine (from the Long Halloween episode), DJ Chapman (from the epic Nolan rankings episode and infamous Batman Trailer Rankings episode), and Aaron Sarnecky (The Dark Knight 15th Anniversary episode).
\nAlso, making their Batman by the Numbers debuts, and throwing them right into the fire on this big episode, we have Randy Allain and Kris Ingersoll, both of the Media/Lit podcast!
\nSo, what is the Definitive Batman Draft?\xa0 Well, we don\u2019t want to give everything away, but the crew will essentially draft 10 categories; Film.\xa0 Batman Actor.\xa0 Comic Story.\xa0 TV Series.\xa0 Bat Family member.\xa0 Two villains.\xa0 Bat Song.\xa0 Best Scene from a Batman movie.\xa0 And\u2026a wild card category!\xa0 What is the wild card category?\xa0 Well, you\u2019ll have to listen to find out.
\nWith all these eclectic categories, it\u2019s no doubt this is the DEFINITIVE BATMAN DRAFT!\xa0 And if you\u2019re worried it\u2019s just going to be a flurry of Dark Knight picks, don\u2019t worry \u2013 we\u2019ve created some special rules for some of these categories to make the draft more challenging and interesting!
\nWe thank you for listening to this podcast for two years, and we hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as we did recording it!
\nAnd if for nothing else, it\u2019s worth listening to as Daniel gets a pick stolen from him towards the end of the draft and has an emotional breakdown, so there you go.
