The Batman released at the beginning of March to positive reviews from critics and mostly good reception from fans. The success of the film shows that reboots and remakes still are not going to disappear anytime soon in the foreseeable future. While The Batman can definitely be recognized as a success, it is not a flawless movie, in fact it has quite a few of them. Some of the early hype around the film had some people coming out and saying that this is the best Batman ever to release, which Cody and Zach have some thoughts about. The guys share their initial reviews in a spoiler free manner, followed by an in depth discussion of deeper analysis on the storytelling and character journeys in the latest adventure of the World’s greatest detective. Timestamps for all discussion points can be found below.
