Chris & Reags
Pet Peeve: something that a particular person finds especially annoying. There are many aspects of everyday life that irritate us all, that become our dreaded pet peeves. While largely subjective, there are common pet peeves that collectively annoy the world at large, and renowned pet peeve critics, Chris and Reags, are here to bring these to your attention and discuss at length. Ever the optimists, they will (attempt to) finish with suggestions on how to make the world a better place and see things from a half glass full perspective.
Episode 17 - Batman Peeves
Hi Peevers,  Are you vengeance? Are you the dark knight? Or simply Batman? They all work, and they are all part of our peeving topic today - all things Batman! While we both adore Batman, we acknowledge the many peeves of the Batman world: gadgets, phrases, Batman's actions, villains, and all in between. Put on your utility belt, warm up your grumbly voice, and spend billions on vehicles that for some reason you know how to maneuver like a professional - it's time to peeve about our favorite superhero.  Intro: 0-8:19 Batman Peeves: 8:19-36:21 Lighting Peeves: 36:21-43:33 Outro: 43:33-46:02 Thanks for sticking with us to chat about the Bat...man.
