As a regular on NPR’s “Pop Culture Happy Hour,” and a frequent guest on all manner of podcasts, Glen can expertly discuss on-air the cultural implications of Batman’s changing identity over his 77-year history, as well as the expectations for the upcoming film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (in theaters March 25). Why did Bat-fans reject Adam West’s portrayal of the Superhero in the 1960s TV show? What made The Dark Knight film the second highest grossing movie to date when it came out, only following The Titanic? What do we need to know about Ben Affleck’s Batman (“Batfleck”) soon to hit screens nationwide?
