Bat Minute

In the mid-90s, Tim Burton pitched a concept for a sequel to his spooktacular sophomore masterpiece Beetlejuice, the title of which became a punchline in the hallowed halls of Hollywood in the years thereafter. Now, in 2024, Gotham Beat and Bat Minute are cracking open the crypt of this script and traipsing to the tropics to terrorise the locals! An all-star squad of podcast thespians join in to e...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE SERIES - BUT THE FIRST EPISODE IS FREE! SPOILERS GALORE! Our feathery Farrell is back in the suit once again and Gotham's gangsters are plum(b) out of luck with everybody's favourite drug lord on the scene. The sequel to 'The Batman' is finally here... kind of. So grab your Slush Puppies, take those Drops, order some extra pickles and put your bad foot up for a good ol' time, swe...

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS GALORE - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED The hosts with the most are back faster than ever before with their first hiatus episode of the post season break! You've waited an eternity for this. It felt like it was never actually going to happen. BEETLEJUICE FINALLY HAS A SEQUEL! Listen to our team, along with regular guest Sean German, discuss all of the ins and outs of this wond...

Minutes 76-78... ish. Kind of. Nearly. We’re back as the credits continue, continue… and… fin. It's the final countdown, Bat Mites. Our Dynamic Duo wrap up the last of the names they can be bothered with and put a cute little bow on this mini season as a whole. They went BEYOND indeed... but where will the future take the two? The next episode follows... soon! Same Bat Pod, different Bat Minute! J...

Minutes 71-75 The Joker has transformed back to Drake. Terry’s got him easy. The laser hits the factory and absolutely annihilates the whole place. This isn’t just a little bit of destruction, the whole building erupts! GET ACE OUT OF THERE! As the satellite drifts off into space, calm is restored. It's over. It's all over... Meanwhile, Dee Dee receive a prison visit from dear old Nana. She seems...

Minutes 66-70 Batman lies prone, at the whim of The Joker… except he’s got that dawg in him. Kind of. Ace attacks! He’s very well trained - he could eat The Joker’s face clean off but chooses not to. Good boy! Not all that good actually... the tackling sends Joker's buzzer careening right into the electronics, triggering the deadly space laser! Maybe ya goofed, dog. INCOMING! Terry goes at it - he...

Minutes 61-65 Bruce oversees Terry’s invasion of the Joker’s candy land. Tim is also there... unconscious, but alive. Once Drake is back in actually, the young Bat goes full crazy on the dude! Is it justified? HE DOESN'T DO THIS ANYMORE! Except... he kind of does. Literally. Physically. THE MAN BECOMES THE JOKER, DAMN IT! HE TRANSFORMS! We've got Lost Highway going on up in here. Time to blast sta...

Minutes 56-60 We’re back as The Joker (or is it?!?!?) chats away on the big screen to our Terry there, revealing his entire plan! Nice villain move. Joker halts the call and Terry leaps into action… only to instantly be shot down by a hidden laser. Two lasers. Three lasers. Four lasers... they just keep coming! After Batarang-ing his way to safety, Terry then heads to the nearby candy factory for...

Minutes 51-55 Bats is still trying to save this FOOL - THIS ABSOLUTE FOOL! Leave him man, he doesn't deserve you. Well he DOESN'T leave him and manages a rescue, so I guess it's a success. Yay? As they fly away we're treated to quite a banger though. INCOMING AKIRA! Bat Fake and co. find out that... Tim Drake... WORKS FOR THE JOKER! Can this really be? The next episode follows in one week! Same Ba...

Minutes 46-50 We’re back as Barbara and Batman have… uhh… saved Robin. Kind of. Did Harley perish? Terry seems to think so, but if we know DC they won't hesitate to claw somebody back... and I think they just might do it. No body? NO DEATH! And even then... Bruce FORBADE Tim to be Robin ever again. I get it though - I mean, the kid was REALLY messed up by all of this. He also said that he would ne...

Minutes 41-45 HOW COULD HARLEY DO THIS?!?!? Eh, she's done... well, maybe not WORSE, but things of a comparable nature I suppose. An errant bazooka blast sends both her and Batgirl careening over a dangerous edge of the building. One will fall... to a death? Meanwhile, we discover just WHAT The Joker did to this poor kid and... oh boy... it's DARK, people! The Joker even goes full Palpatine. Their...

Minutes 36-40 We’re back as our dear little Robin lies flightless. IS THIS THE END OF THE BOY WONDER?!?!? Kind of... you'll see... Batman heads out to look for him night after night. By “look for him” we of course mean “beating the crap out of crooks to get answers”. Would you expect any less? After jumping through some rather explosive hoops, The Joker's lair is revealed and the Battle for Robin'...

Minutes 31-35 The fallout of the wild night of dancing is felt by all. That was a rough one. PARTY ON (Mr Wayne?)! Bruce sure isn't getting down though... he's down and out - the enemy has struck. Most importantly, HE HURT THE BLOODY DOG! That's it, time to go John Wick. We see the true face of the enemy, however... the NEW face of Bruce. Barbara is also here and she start getting some info about...

Minutes 26-30 Terry's bro wishes he was an only child. We've all been there, man. CEREAL FLICK TO THE FACE, LOSER! Cut to the club. Again. Did you expect this much clubbing action in a Batman film? We sure didn't! Dana burns Terry good - she absolutely destroys the guy. He's toast. Before he can even recover he's swarmed by... some mysterious ladies, both wanting a piece. Guess what though... IT'S...

Minutes 21-25 We’re back as Commissioner Gordon (not that one) is sick of Terry and his ways. GO AWAY, IDIOT! But let's talk about clowns first... Bruce (we're still finding it hard not to call him Batman) is researching The Joker. HOW could he have returned? Is it even him? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!? Whatever it is, it's not fair to drag Terry into this - give the suit back, kid. THAT'S IT, I'M MOVIN...

Minutes 16-20 The shindig at Wayne Enterprises is underway. It’s time to Welcome Brucie boy back to the fold! Technical problems lead to far worse issues... THE JOKERZ ATTACK! Woof, Woof! Enter... The Joker himself. He's got some fashion critiques for Bat Junior here and they're on point to be fair. Trim the ears. The heist of the century takes place as Ghoul and Chucko nab  SOMETHING  a...

Minutes 11-15 Bruce is ready to start firing folk and we are absolutely behind him. This isn't business gone mad, it's well deserved! Terry decides that despite the absolute agony that he's in it's time to hit da klllluuuuurrrrrb - party time with the ol' girl-beau. Sadly he's not feeling it though - Terry's just an eepy boy in a wakey world. Meanwhile, The Jokerz have a meeting with... The Joker?...

Minutes 6-10 Dee Dee in danger! Which one? Eh... does it matter? Batman battles Bonk, flag poles crack skulls and... oh, credits. So we're doing these are we? And do they live up to the TV show's ones? I've got some bad news for you there... Melissa Joan Hart, Dead Stockwell, Arleen Sorkin, HENRY ROLLINS?!?!? This cast is stacked. We also get to see Brucie baby. He's old, but this senior resource...

Minutes 1-5 A new dark night (or Knight?), the return of mayhem... but good guys still wear black. The Bat Minute crew are back, here to take you all the way into the far future as this mini season kicks off with a bang! Our first five minute chunk is underway swiftly as we're introduced to some real Jokerz... and a new hero for the pod. The next episode follows in one week! Same Bat Pod, differen...
