Episode 12: “Batman: The Long Halloween”, “Heat”

“Is this guy something, or is he something?”

That’s Al Pacino’s Vincent Hanna talking about Robert De Niro’s Neil McCauley in Michael Mann’s Heat. But it’s also Jake and Marshall marveling at Mann’s epic crime caper that helped inspire The Dark Knight. This week on the pod, we look at how Heat and the Long Halloween comics shaped Christopher Nolan’s second Batman film.
