For the second episode of DC Multicast Season 2, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever! Dr. Drea Letamendi — co-host of the Arkham Sessions podcast — joins Keith to peel back the layers of neon to get to the pathos underneath the film as well as the Schumacher Cut.

How did seeing Chase Meridian as a teenager lay the groundwork for a career in psychology and an obsession with Batman? How should we reassess the film’s embrace of camp as an act of subversion? Why are all the important psychological scenes only in the Schumacher cut?
