Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) with Jeff Lange - Bat Signals

The NeverEnding Movie Marathon

So far, our Bat Signals mini-marathon has been tracing the influences of writer/director Matt Reeves leading up to his new Bat-film, but let’s pivot to the star of the big show for this final piece in our mini-marathon puzzle as Robert "RPattz a.k.a. RBats a.k.a. The Bat-tinson" Pattinson cites this '90s animated comic-book film as inspiration on his emo hot-boy Bruce Wayne.

With filmmaker and Bat-fan Jeff Lange, Alex and Rocco break down how this unique and incredible vision of art-deco Gotham definitely helped shape the dark, moody, and expansive Bat-sterpiece, The Batman. Plus, Jeff and Rocco pitch their original story for an Ocean's 11-style heist at Wayne Manor starring some of the best of the worst in Batman's Rogues Gallery.

Can anyone hold a candle to Mark Hamill's iconic Joker voice? Why haven't Stacy Keach, Abe Vigoda, and Dick Miller been in EVERY movie?

And will Alex finally watch all of "Batman: The Animated Series?" Or will he be too tempted to watch all of Tyler Perry's Madea movies instead? We get down to brass Bat-tacks on this week's NeverEnding Movie Marathon!
