Episode description

In honor of Val Kilmer's passing and the 30th anniversary of this film, we're covering Batman Forever. This campy take on the Caped Crusader has surprising depth and adds to the grand mosaic of the Batman mythos. Revisit Batman Forever and you may find yourself growing past your trauma, rejecting revenge, and embracing the responsibility to right the wrongs around you. Watch the episode here.
