We jump back to the past, as far back as 1989, when we saw Batman in theaters!
We discuss our thoughts when we first saw this movie in theaters, but also our subsequent viewings. How does it hold up? Do we still like it? We talk about how this movie was a blockbuster that led to multiple Batman movies in the 1990's, for better or worse, and this movie helped make DC films a force to be reckoned with.
We compare how this Batman portrayal lines up with the Batman we recently saw in The Flash. Are they the same character? Because timeline-wise they are.
In our Top 5 segment we discuss Who is the Best Live Action Joker? And believe me, the answers will surprise you! Our Hot Take, as usual is HOT, but how spicy is this one? Listen and you be the judge.

Join The Credible Nerds as we discuss the novel Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. This “standalone” book opened the door for us to a bigger universe and started our journey into what's now known as the Cosmere.
Set in the city of Elantris, once a place of magic and splendor but now a cursed land where its inhabitants, who were once blessed with magical powers, have been turned into wretched beings that are reminiscent of zombies.
The story follows three main characters - Raoden, a prince who is cursed and becomes an Elantrian; Sarene, a princess from the neighboring kingdom of Teod, who arrives in Arelon for an arranged marriage with Raoden; and Hrathen, a religious zealot from a different kingdom who seeks to convert the people of Arelon to his religion.
As the characters' paths intertwine, they must navigate political intrigue, religious conflict, and the mysteries of Elantris to save the city and its people. The novel explores themes of faith, perseverance, and the nature of power. We discuss its intricate world-building and engaging characters, Overall we liked Elantris as it is a compelling tale that keeps readers immersed in its richly imagined fantasy realm.
