Like many folks, we are still waiting to see ParaNorman and Frankenweenie. I only feel compelled to tell you that because I've seen both trailers about a hundred times. They've been built up so much that I have to see them just to justify the countless hours I've spent watching trailers. And the bar is VERY high!

In the meantime, let's talk the caped crusader, the world's greatest detective, Boy Wonder's better half, Batman, or even the Dark Knight! If you haven't seen it don't worry, no spoilers here. Unless of course you didn't know Tom Hardy plays Bane. In which case you are better just waiting for ParaNorman to come out.

No talk of The Dark Knight Rises is complete with out some discussion of the greatest trilogies. We put ours out there, but send us a note and tell us where we went wrong. We promise, we won't lambaste you too much!

Have a listsen. See what you think. It's a blockbuster episode of The MitchCast!! Thanks for listening.
