Craig, Ryan, and Todd welcome Vilja Johnson back to the show to discuss The Batman. Does the new Robert Pattinson-driven film succeed?

Plus, a short discussion about whether we’ve reached the apex of comic book movies as the most popular of popular entertainment and are seeing a long-term decline, or if we’re simply in a cyclical lull.
