Yeah its a good movie. The end makes it more towards the middle of my list than nearer the top.

Going from The Penguin to this Penguin was some real whiplash. Both incredibly memorable for VERY different reasons, though.

This isn't in my RSS feed?

Billy Dee Williams did eventually get to play Two Face in the Lego Batman movie.

The title picture got changed to the Nextlander Game podcast from the Watchcast. It was the Watchcast’s yesterday when I was listening. This was actually my first Batman movie. I saw it too young though. According to my mom, her mom rented it for me to see it when I was 6 thinking it was just a comic book movie. Apparently I ended up having nightmares for a few days afterwards. I frankly remember nothing about it and it’s been a interesting watch. I am betting the Penguin is what set me off.

If you guys want Billy Dee Williams Two-Face read the Batman 89’ comic that was released a few years ago. It was also written by Sam Hamm

Same here! I got the previous one (Spirits Within) without issue.

Might be, yes. I also can't find it in my podcast app (Pocketcast). Same thing actually with the previous watchcast

Is the RSS messed up on this one?
