Are you guys serious? Val Kilmer being better at playing both. Question, do you think overall he is a better Batman? If so put the Wii down Mr. Mike,Allison start playing games for real, and James just let it go “buddy” buy a new 360 already. Yes we all have our own opinions but when they’re that bad,Lol keep them stored away and shut the door. Have the funeral service and move on to the next great episode of Binge Gamer Podcast!
