This time it&#8217;s a coiler known as <i>Batman: Gotham Knight<\/i>.  Incorrectly labeled as a bridge between <i>Batman Begins<\/i> and <i>The Dark Knight<\/i>, the only stories this film seems intent on bridging are its own.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s the weird part, folks, because beside the chronological link between each story, they have almost nothing to do with one another.  Oh, but don&#8217;t let this blog entry spoil everything.  You&#8217;ll need to listen to the show to listen to us really rip this POS apart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics:<\/strong><br \/>\n-Batman vs Duke Togo would break the universe<br \/>\n-OMG!  KAWAII BISHOUNEN BRUCE WAYNE!  (I wanna throw up after typing that)<br \/>\n-Anthology movies usually have an over-arcing plot. USUALLY!<br \/>\n-Neil adds a rating to the IGN Replacement Crew scoring system<br \/>\n-Mike gets up to answer the door.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, our show is expanded, with hilarious pre- and post-show banter.  Technical difficulties happen.  We discuss sound elements.  A toilet is flushed.  Stuff you&#8217;re only going to hear on our show.  And <i>Married&#8230; With Children<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>There is also special &#8220;bonus track&#8221; featuring audio from our first attempt at the video games episode.  Lots of off-topic discussion kept the show from being released, but the best banter has been spared, with topics that were not covered in our released version!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus content topics:<\/strong><br \/>\n-An expanded discussion of Mario&#8217;s lore<br \/>\n-The two Sonics<br \/>\n-Kittyhawk&#8217;s Franken-Saturn<br \/>\n-Game manual artists<br \/>\n-Everyone&#8217;s dead in Lavender Town<br \/>\n-The Sakura Wars theme&#8230; My GOD!
