Deeper Dive Into the Wayne Murders in Batman 1989, Batman Forever, & The Comics



RELEASED FROM THE PATREON VAULT from AUGUST 2021 (and since this was recorded last year, you will hear a THIRD familiar voice from the past!) In the 1989 Batman film, a poster for Footlight Frenzy is shown during the flashback to the Wayne deaths. Find out WHAT is Footlight Frenzy and how it connects to the film as we get an EXTRA hour and a half on the Wayne murders that Ben had to CUT from the "Joe Chill-Joker Connection" episode! Find out the DIFFERENT movies that the Waynes watched before their deaths- it wasn't always The Mark of Zorro! Learn the different reasons why the Waynes went to the movie theater in the first place (or left the theater late or early). Dive into the different detectives who investigated the Wayne murders (who WEREN'T Jim Gordon).


Also as an addendum, this episode was before the Titans episode "Lazarus," which featured another version of Crime Alley and Dr. Leslie Thompkins. (Originally released on Patreon as "The Evolution of the Wayne Murders")

While we credited Steve Englehart's treatment, it looks like Tim Burton and Julie Hickson's treatment actually beat Englehart to the punch. Our coverage on both treatments are below:
