Episode 10: Batman - The Hero We Need But Will Never Have

My So-Called Pop Culture Life

Hello! And thank you for listening to Episode 10! This week, I'll be discussing the everlasting impact of Christopher Nolan's masterful The Dark Knight Trilogy.

I'll discuss the films and reminisce about what it was like going to see them, including my six or so times seeing The Dark Knight in theaters!

I'll also discuss the emotional impact of having a Batman set in a much more grounded and real-world scenario like Nolan and Christian Bale brought us.

Toward the end of the discussion, I'll address what is becoming an unfortunate trend involving violence in the country. A few weeks ago I spoke about how the violence against Asian Americans was something that needed to stop. Unfortunately, we've hit the peak of it following the disgusting murders in Atlanta.

I apologize in advance as I get a little emotional about it but it does seem that Batman is the hero we need now more than ever but can never have.

Just a head's up, I will be talking about Batman in other media moving forward. Specifically, I'll go over the character's appearances in video games, comics and animation. Stay tuned for those.
