Clay and Sean React to “The Batman” Trailer

Clay and Sean React to “The Batman” Trailer

Author: The Pensky File September 2, 2020 Duration: 26:55





We’re taking a quick break from our regularly scheduled Batman The Animated Series coverage to bring you some quick thoughts from Sean and Clay on the first trailer for Matt Reeves’ upcoming flick The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano, and Oliver Sto-uh…i mean Colin Farrell! It’s dark, it’s red, it’s moody, it’s Batman! 



Details are scant about the plot right now, but from what we can surmise, there’s a killer on the loose in Gotham who has an affinity for questions, dare I say RIDDLES, and it’s up to Batman to pause his nightly viewing of The Crow, and get on the trail to catch him. In the process he bounces off many of Gotham’s criminal underbelly, all while looking like he’s on his way to a concert by The Cure. 



Sean and Clay are nothing if not men of opinions when it comes to Batman, especially Batman MOVIES, so join them as they discuss the finer points of gritty Batmen, grittier Riddlers, ideal collar height, and why Batman looks silly hanging out with cops, on this very special episode of The BATTASS Podcast! 

Ever wonder what happens when two working comic book artists sit down to talk about the definitive cartoon version of the Dark Knight? That’s the simple, compelling premise behind BATTASS: The Batman The Animated Series Show Podcast. Hosts Clay McCormack and Sean Murphy bring their insider’s perspective from the drawing board to every discussion, breaking down each installment of the legendary series. Their conversations are less like formal reviews and more like you’re overhearing a deep, passionate, and often very funny debate between two experts who genuinely love the material. You’ll hear them trace the artistic influences in the show’s iconic style, analyze the sharp writing that appealed to both kids and adults, and share personal insights into why certain characters or storylines resonate so powerfully within the broader world of comics. This isn’t a rushed recap; it’s a thoughtful, episode-by-episode excavation of what made Batman: The Animated Series a cultural touchstone. The result is a consistently engaging podcast that feels both educational and entertaining, offering a unique lens on a show many of us thought we already knew everything about. New episodes from The Pensky File dive into a single chapter of the animated saga, making it a perfect companion whether you’re revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time.
