Seasons

Miniseries (2024)

No overview available for this season.

Episodes:

Ep. 1: One of the Gargoyles Moved (2024-03-20)

An unexpected champion vowed to bring back the dark knight to the screen, but it would take a visionary young director and a couple off the wall producers to get him there.
Ep. 2: My Smile is Just Skin Deep (2024-03-27)

Production is off to a rocky start with an injured star, a troublesome vehicle, and an unyielding suit; maybe the producers and director can work out their differences to land the film.
Ep. 3: Things Change (2024-04-03)

After the success of Batman 89, the studio is ready for round two, but their director is not; given free reign, Burton and his handpicked team go wild.
Ep. 4: Nipples and Ice (2024-04-10)

A fraught production drives away the star yet delivers the toy friendly Batman the studio wants; when the sequel goes over the top, the franchise hangs in the balance.
Ep. 5: I'm Not Wearing Hockey Pads (2024-04-17)

To revive a dying franchise, the studio gives the key to the Batmobile to an indie director whose origin story and grounded aesthetic promise to resuscitate their hero.
Ep. 6: In Heath's Shadow (2024-04-24)

On a mission to top his first outing, Nolan pushes his team harder than ever; when tragedy strikes, no one is prepared.
