Travis wasn't able to record this week, so we are putting Heat on the Back Burner and circling back to look at the comic influences on Batman Begins to fill in the gaps in George's Ra'sducation. Thanks to the magic of HBO Max, he was able to quickly find the direct-to-video movie version of Year One as well as classic Ra's episodes from the Animated Series.
 
How will George handle the contrast of animated movies targeted at kids and teens when compared to the Cinema of Christopher Nolan? Will Dan convince George of the merits of the 1966 Batman show? What the heck is a Boob vent?
