There’s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he’s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City’s greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there’s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman’s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.
Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you’re a Batman fan, this is required listening.
As 2025 nears the end, so does the year of World’s Finest, our yearlong celebration of Superman! But don’t worry, we have two big Superman rankings episodes left, including this one. It’s time we pay respect to Superman’s foes – it’s our ranking of the Superman cinematic villains!
While not as robust as Batman’s rogue gallery of film villains, no doubt there have been plenty of iconic Superman villain performances throughout the years.
To help Daniel and Kris count down this super villain list are return guests Aaron Sarnecky of the Anniversary Brothers Podcast, and fresh off our last episode taking Peacemaker, Bill George, host of the Should I Go See It Podcast.
The crew discuss a plethora of Lex Luthors, General Zods, and of course, Ross Webster! Speaking of Ross Webster, listen to Daniel speak glowingly about…Superman III?!?!
Yup. It happened. You’ll find all this and more on another GREAT rankings episode!
