A One Man Batman Parody

Rod Peter Jr—Tom Hendry Warehouse

For anyone with nostalgia for Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher’s Batman films, Rod Peter Jr’s. reenactment of the films paired with interludes from his childhood promise an entertaining performance. The show is lacking a bit of polish from last years staging, most notably in the intro cinematic referencing the length of the pandemic, and my earlier critique of the reenactments lacking proper context to fully convey what happened in the films to any audience member who wasn’t already familiar with their plot still remains. However, the strong video explanation of some of his more specific jokes paired with good comedic timing and deeply personal stories definitely give someone without that knowledge something to follow. Definitely a must see for fans of the films, as a love letter to them, and accepting the things you love.
