In this special anniversary episode of Beyond the Bat Signal, I'm joined by Rick, from the Scream Along Podcast, to celebrate 20 years of Batman Begins. We revisit Christopher Nolan’s gritty reboot that reshaped the superhero genre and redefined the Dark Knight for a new generation. From Christian Bale’s brooding performance to the film’s grounded approach to fear, justice, and legacy—we break down why Batman Begins still holds up two decades later. Join us as we explore the film’s impact, our favorite scenes, and how it set the stage for the legendary Dark Knight Trilogy.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
