TORONTO STAR: We ask the experts, “What is the best Batmobile?”

Just ahead of the release of “The Batman,” Richard asked the experts to choose their favourite Batmobile in the Toronto Star!

“As a wealthy undercover crimefighter, Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman, has his choice of inventive ways to get around Gotham City. There’s the Batplane, Batcopter and its cousin, the Whirly-Bat. The LEGO Batman even had a Segway to save wear and tear on his battle-weary legs and knees.

“As cool as all those vehicles are, they pale in comparison to the Dark Knight’s main ride, the Batmobile.

“Unlike the tricked-out cars the crimefighter has driven in movies and on TV, the first Batmobile – seen in the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics No. 27 – was a no-frills red coupe. Dubbed the Batmobile in 1941, the design has evolved over the years, but always reflected Batman’s personality.

NEWSTALK 1010: IN-DEPTH WITH AUTHORS SARAH WEINMAN + TARA MCKENNA!

On this week’s Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Sarah Weinman. Her new book Scoundrel, is the wild and true story of a murderer who conned the people around him—including neo-conservative thinker and National Review founder William F. Buckley—into helping set him free.

Then, Tara Mckenna stops by to talk about her book Don’t Be Trashy: A Practical Guide to Living with Less Waste and More Joy. The author says she’s always been environmentally aware, but seriously began my low waste journey early in 2017 after travelling. Snorkeling through trash in Bali, Indonesia, and picking up litter on trails in Southern Ontario, Canada, taught her that waste is a worldwide issue.
