S14 Ep707: Batman Begins (W❤️M)

WHM Entertainment
About this episode
“I, in my home, right now, have a bat from the movie Batman Begins” - Steve

On this week’s episode, W❤️M month continues as we chat about Chris Nolan’s fabulous comic book adaptation, Batman Begins! Has there been a softer Little Boy Bruce Wayne in cinema? Why couldn’t they have put a little more spirit gum on Liam Neeson’s goatee at the beginning? How fantastic is Cillian Murphy in this and shouldn’t Scarecrow have been a larger character? Does anyone have proof that Pennyworth was a real show and not just a tax shelter? And why can’t more studios look to these Nolan films to reassure themselves that it’s… okay to recast an actor? Hmm? PLUS: Batman blows his fortune on movie merch!

Batman Begins stars Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson, Tom Wilkinson, Ken Watanabe, Rutger Hauer, Linus Roache, Mark Boone Junior, Morgan Freeman, Richard Brake, and Sir Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth; directed by Christopher Nolan.

Be sure to get tickets for the WHM Holiday Extravaganza where we’re talking The Santa Clause on 12/7 at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City!
