Bat Minute

"This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end" Back for one last time this season, Jon and Niall take a look at the remaining credits and wrap things up. There's still plenty to discuss and fun to be had as our dynamic duo prepare to exit the stage... for now! That's right, folks - our heroes WILL be back... in Bat Minute Returns! The next episode follows... soon. Sam...

As the list of names inches closer to a conclusion, we are played out by the smoooooth stylings of everybody's favourite sexy beast... no, not our Jon, but PRINCE, ladies, gentlemen and everybody else. Along the way you may just learn a thing or two about sculptors and standbys! Joining our Justice League as our FINAL Special Guest Investigator is one of the most prolific podcasters going. He is t...

The credits roll on and take us gasping and wheezing towards the finish line. Will our team make it or collapse at the last second? Hopefully they'll get all of their wonderful facts about these names out of the way first! Joining our dynamic duo as Special Guest Credits Investigator is the wonderful actor, stand-up comic and musician Jessi Milestone ! She can also FENCE, so who better to take a s...

The action is over, folks, but certainly not the scintillating Bat chat! We get one final shot of our victorious hero, the man of the hour himself and then... WE'RE BACK IN CREDITS TOWN! But that doesn't mean the fun has to end... Joining the team to wrap up this visual investigation is the musical maestro, the string-based superstar - it's composer, violinist and singer-songwriter extraordinaire,...

Does Vicki look up at the Bat signal thinking of her lovely future with Bruce, or does she glance upon it and realise that their courtship is already doomed? No matter - Alfred has brought the drinks, bay-bay! Mr Wayne is late? Who cares! Joining our team today to help save the DC universe are the Hawkmen themselves - it's Brad Mendenhall and Eric Deutsch of Flash Gordon Minute ! They don't fly in...

Public safety used to be a laughing matter, it seems... but no longer! Thank god! Or the Borg, at least. Vicki blows off Allie with a "see ya, sport" as Lando reveals a letter and rather special gift from the Bat himself... Joining our crew as Special Guest Investigator is the Sultan of Sweet (Talking) himself - it's Ralph Attanasia of TLC's hit TV show Cake Boss ! Ralph kneads the truth, so what...

A near-death experience is followed by a sweet bit of romantic hugging and deep stares. Aww. Things quickly change as we see it... the body of the fallen one himself - Joker lies dead. It's over, Jack. In his typical fashion, however, he can't go out without one last laugh... Joining the dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigator is somebody who can really take care of the business we have discusse...

Gargoyles? No! THE TRUTH WILL SHOCK YOU! Or not, I dunno. Joker clings to dear life as he dangles dangerously in the air, holding on to the ladder! Will he fall? Does he deserve this fate? Will Batman and Vicki make it up in one piece? Here to dig his way to the truth, straight out of Marshall College (or is it Barnett College?) is a man seeking fortune and glory - it's Pete Mummert of Indiana Jon...

Tonight, a clown may die in Gotham. High above the city, the one-time Jack Napier is dancing like a maniac! BUT CHECK OUT THOSE BUNS! His suit changes colour, he retires AND he loses his hat! What a day for ol' Joker. He also says how he kills himself as Batman attempts to do it for him! Joining the crew as Special Guest Investigator and explaining his master stroke is the Minuteman himself - host...

You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you? This movie shows us that Batman is just the type of guy to go against the grain on that one! As Joker appears to fall to his grisly end, he makes a last ditch effort to take Bats and Vicki with him! Complete with funny little jigs and japes-a-plenty, this is one minute not to miss! Joining our dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigators are Mitch and...

BAT MINUTE '89 - THE SHOW THAT  YOU MADE, DEAR LISTENERS! A comedy 'dong' is the funniest thing going as Batman's attempt at a 'cool' line falls totally flat. Shame. Shame. BATMAN PUNCHES JOKER'S TEETH RIGHT OUT OF HIS SKULL! GOOD LORD! "You made me first..." Back to deliver one final verbal stake through the heart is filmmaker, writer and host of the Sunnydale Study Group podcast - it's&nbsp...

It's the beauty of the Joker up against the beastly Vicki Vale - at least, in Jack's mind! There's also the possibility of a Blood Eagle on offer - lovely stuff. Vicki grimaces as she gets a mouthful of Joker's purple and Bats prepares his attack... Back again to say such beautiful things is filmmaker, writer and host of Sunnydale Study Group - it's Omar Najam ! This seasoned Watcher is going...

D-VON! GET THE TABLES! Or the wooden staircase, at least - Batman is about to take a tumble! Bats takes a vicious knee and BAH GAWD, HE'S BROKEN IN HALF! Amidst the carnage, Joker continues his devilish dance... Joining our dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigator is writer, filmmaker, podcaster and knowledge keeper of anything whatsoever to do with both Buffy and Tegan & Sara - it's Omar Najam!...

BANG BANG! HAVE A NICE DAY! Joker clasps Vicki tight and waltzes through the beautiful brutality of Bat vs bodyguard. Quickly, the clown comes to the conclusion that without Ms Vale, life has no point... so points a gun at his own noggin! Here to cleanse these crooks of ignorance and sin... kind of... is the ever-so-wonderful host of  Cabin Minute Cast  - it's  Molly Bailen ! Molly...

There's a Bat in the belfry but Joker is more concerned with having a wee dance - his goons will take care of the rest! IN FLIPPING FASHION! As our hero takes care of business, a new challenger appears... and falls for Bats! Goon after goon is failing... not much stands in Bruce's way now! Back to crack this case with our Dark Knights is the f-bomb-dropping-yet-dharma-studying, artist, screenwrite...

Hell's bells! This thing is trying to send Bats and the cops straight down below! Can Gordon shift it solo? Not a damn chance! His new plan? Just shine some lights... that'll do it. Meanwhile, out hero is relentless in his pursuit. The showdown awaits... Joining the dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigator is none other than Whedonverse expert, artist, cat aficionado and host of Cabin Minute Cast...

Gordon finally leaps into action! Will he become the character we have since come to know and love? I wouldn't bet on it! Joker spews his venom again in a bid to aid his exit and take Bats and the cops out of the game once and for all! Despite a shocking lack of surfboards in this movie,  Point Break Minute 's  Murren Kennedy  and Jessa Lowe are back and bringing the fight to all th...

Joker... walks. Vicki... walks. Batman... walks. It's all action, all the time, folks! Throw in some foot fetishism, a discussion of average police response times and an equally slow moving Gordon and we've got one hell of a show for you, Bat fans! Back once more to push the boundaries as Special Guest Investigators are  Murren Kennedy  and Jessa Lowe of  Point Break Minute ! The FB...

From the wreckage he climbs - battered, beaten... but not defeated. The Bat is back and he's gunning for Jack! The Joker enacts his bold and daring plan - aerial escape escapades! In the meantime, however, a little silent play is in order. Joining our dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigators are Murren Kennedy and Jessa Lowe of Point Break Minute ! They know all about zen philosophy, bank-robber...

Batman is dead. For real this time... right? The Batwing lies in ruins, much like our hero's DAMN BONES. Joker had one shot and made it count - now he needs some of mom's spaghetti. The deed done, the clown prince takes hold of Vicki and escorts her up, up, up, to the brink of heaven. In his mind, at least. Only the very best will do to help us tackle this trickster and this time our illustrious g...

Batman is switching to... targeting... computer. Joker's goons feel the full force of Bat might, Bat Minute Mites, as they get blown to the moon and back! The clown prince is next in line but he stands there, confident, bold as brass. Bring it, Bats! A trouser cannon is on hand to even the odds... This duel of the ages requires only the finest of backup. It must be those so versed in the Batverse...

As the big 1-0-0 lands it's sadly not party time in Gotham as Bob... our beautiful, wonderful, masterful Bob, is no more. There's panic in the streets of Gotham as clown chaos reigns and bat-demons rule the skies. Joker and the Batman are moments away from a showdown for the ages - head-first! To manage this melange of madness requires a special form of back-up, so our dynamic duo have called in f...

Batman is a thief! HE'S STEALING JOKER'S BALLOONS! Somebody stop this jackanapes! Sadly, things take a turn for the EVEN WORSE and we bid farewell to a good, dear, friend. Rest in peace, sweet child. This is officially the saddest minute in Movies by Minutes history. In movie history, period. Joining the dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigator is Dave Pallas of the 5 Minutes of Mystery podcast!...

Falling! Tumbling! A smashing time is had by  this goon, at least. The Action News Truck bites the big one! NO! OUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER! Knox goes for one hell of a ride, complete with a feathery end. Has Knox bitten the big one too?!? Joining the crew one more time to discuss this sweet, sugary, nightmarish, minute is a very special Guest Investigator - surreal comedian  Zoë Tomalin ! Z...

Smylex ™ spews into the city streets and pandemonium ensues! It might not be the  most effective locale for his mission, but this Joker sure is giving it his all! Knox leaps into action with a bit of wood! He's finally snapped folks - enough is enough! As the Batwing descends and Bruce pouts once more, we prepare for the beginning of the end... Bringing the Smylex ™ to our listeners is today'...
