Hadda go on a podcast talking about Batman In Film…the different Batman actors and such.

While there was some struggle to casting Batman (I cover it in this Small Talk post) for the Batman 89 movie I went and dissected Joker casting.

Batman came out in the Summer of 1989 so they shot it late ‘88 which means casting was done in ‘87…’88-ish.
