This week we are flashing back to 2008 for more superhero fun, this time with Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. This, along with Iron Man, heralded in a new era of films, where comic book films would become the biggest studio films for the next ten years on. We have a great conversation that focuses on just about everything, and it’s not all praise for this one either. So come listen to see how The Dark Knight stands up after a decade of superhero films!
