\"\"<\/a>If you didn’t catch it the other night the \/Filmcast podcast<\/a> with special guest Kevin Smith<\/a><\/strong> was great.<\/p>\n

It was a discussion of The Dark Knight<\/strong><\/a> but also got into other areas such as the new Watchmen trailer<\/a>, the Tim Burton<\/a> and Joel Schumacher<\/a> films (my favourite anecdote was what Kevin was doing the day in 1989 when Batman came out) and the possible villains in the next Nolan film.<\/p>\n

What’s nice is that the conversation is relaxed but intelligent (I liked the use of the term Nolan-verse) and full of passion about the Batman character and films.<\/p>\n

One point that stuck out for me was when they mused on the fact that Warner Bros actually greenlit and stumped up the cash for a blockbuster as ambitious and dark as this – so props to the suits at Burbank<\/a> for allowing Nolan to bring his vision to the screen.<\/p>\n

A few years ago a friend of mine<\/a> showed me the first DVD of An Evening with Kevin Smith<\/a> and I was surprised how funny and engaging he could be on stage (especially as he plays Silent <\/em>Bob in his movies). But some of the stories are hilarious.<\/p>\n

One anecdote about working with producer Jon Peters<\/a> on a Superman film in the mid-90s<\/a> was a particular highlight:<\/p>\n
