Great talk with nice adversarial moments. Gotta disagree about Joker though. I wouldn't say it was *based*, but carefully walked the line to show both types of societal breakdown (corruption from the top and mob mentality/personal resentment from the bottom) and even managed to include the left and right versions of each of those. If nothing else it was beautifully shot and produced (and yes, pulling from many sources). Compared to the marvel movies, the Batman series is pure gold.

I knew MDW when he was a young man and clearly brilliant and we would have lunch table conversations. It is excellent to hear his chit chat now.
