<p><em>originally published Nov 2, 2021</em></p> <p> BATMAN BEGONE RETURNS for a spine-tingling, hair-raising Halloween Spooktacular edition all about BATMAN RETURNS, which is technically a Christmas movie but don&#39;t worry about that, just work with me here, okay? To make things even more bone-chilling, we summon our dear departed friend Valerie from beyond the grave, calling upon her ghostly form to help us digest this big old Halloween treat of a spooky Christmas-themed Batman movie. Yes, you heard right, Valerie has passed on and is a ghost, so that&#39;s why she sounds like that. That&#39;s how ghosts sound and there&#39;s nothing that could be done about it, but luckily it&#39;s on theme. You won&#39;t hear us make any mention of the fact that Valerie is a ghost or that she sounds weird though because it&#39;s rude to talk about that stuff in front of ghosts. Just enjoy the show, okay? HAPPY HALLOWEEN!</p>
