Question: How do you stop three grown men from talking about Batman? Answer: You don’t. You just hit the “record” button.

Hunter and Chris are joined by guest Batman scholar and shameless fanboy Joseph “Joe Kerr” Dale to mark the 10th Anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. In a wide-ranging Special Features, the Dudes discuss The Dark Knight Legacy, covering Batman in cinema, as well as the realistic reboot culture ushered in by Nolan’s film.
