- The producer was born long after the film and watched The Batman about 24 hours before this one.
- Nicholson is scene-stealing and charismatic but seems to do every scene in one take without caring.
- The film looks like a Scary Movie-style parody of today’s serious Batman, especially the museum dance to Prince.
- The hosts counter that its lack of self-seriousness is what makes it fun; the producer assumed Batman was always serious and dark.
- A mock question about a Jerry Seinfeld Batman sitcom is quickly revealed as a joke.
