I saw this movie twice in a week, believe it or not. Once on opening night and then again to see it on IMAX, the following weekend. After the second viewing, Logan asked me to join him on a podcast that he does regularly, reviewing movies for the I Read Comics blog. Here it is, two comic geeks in front of a microphone, waxing pretentious on the nature of heroes, the awesomeness of Heath Ledger, and Frank Miller’s essential early-80’s reinvention of the superhero.

Fair warning: the review is packed with spoilers, so if you don’t want to have the plot ruined for you, definitely don’t listen past the first couple minutes.
