BATMAN: CAPED CRUSADER SEASON 2 REVIEW
When crime haunts the night, a silent crusader carries the torch of justice. He is vengeance. He is the night. He is Batman! For the second season, executive producers J.J. Abrams with Bruce Timm (creator of the iconic and award-winning Batman: The Animated Series) take us back to the Golden Age of Gotham with Amazon’s Batman: Caped Crusader. As police corruption grows and mob violence gets more and more rampant, our titular Bat must face a new wave of costumed villains. All the while, a master criminal stalks the city streets, a criminal weaving a web of death about him leaving stricken victims behind wearing a ghastly clown’s grin. Our own Gossip Gerties, Mindy, Eoin, and Lewayne, discuss this latest retelling of the legend of the Batman – who he is and how he came to be. Does this show live up to its animated pedigree and the legacy of a character that has endured for nearly a century? Or is it, like this text copy, filled with nothing more than Easter egg-covered nostalgia? Tune in here – same Bat-time, same Bat-podcast!

YOUR REVIEWERS
Mindy Rast-Keenan (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Having grown up in Nairobi, Kenya, and being very disappointed at the lack of riding elephants her cartoons had promised her, Mindy spends the majority of her time as a film, theater, and voice over actress in the Austin, Texas area. They still give her money for being on HBO that one time, with her name in the credits spelled wrong. A nerdy geek, this award-winning actress joined One of Us figuring she’d put her summa cum laude BFA acting degree to good use…by judging other people’s acting. In the few seconds she gets to herself, Mindy bakes for charity, knits eccentric plushies, plays original RPG’s with her gamemaster husband, and spends time with her soulmate, Batman.
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
