Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 19: Batman Forever (Redux)
Jerome and Brian go dark and play their podcast listeners like harps from hell as they examine Tim Burton’s second and last Batman movie, Batman Returns.

It’s been a really solid last couple weeks for the podcast. That comes to a screeching halt this week as they discuss a total of a mess of a film that features the debuting Ivan Ooze…I mean, Apocalypse. Jerome and Brian examine a movie with too many flashbacks and subplots but not enough X-Men at the mall. Is this film messy enough to be Pile of Shame worthy?

You may have forgotten about the 2011 X-Men team-up movie, but Jerome and Brian did not. They go back to 1963 and take a look at when the team first started. Who cares about timelines when groovy powers are being showcased and out of this world costuming is seen on every corner. The acting is stellar (minus a certain very specific actor), and maybe this will be good enough to be the second X-Men film put into the Superhero Pantheon.
