On the sixth episode of Floppy Talk, we're back to chat about The Batman, The Dark Knight Returns, movie adaptations and directors cuts galore. Joining Luke for today's discussion is Harry Smith, a local videographer and frontman of the Toronto based rock outfit Rubber Tire Peep Show. Thanks for your patience as we had tech issues for the month of Feb!

SPOILERS for The Batman throughout the episode. We kept returning to points and the discussion was very fluid.
