Batman and university
In this episode of "The Goldbergs", Adam is excited about the new Batman film. Pops isn't thrilled by the idea of Batman being played by Michael Keaton, who played "Beetlebuzz" as he calls it. Barry invites himself to watch the film with them, but they forget about him and go to watch the movie without him. Afterwards, Pops and Adam disagree over which Batman is better - TV's Adam West or Tim Burton's Michael Keaton. Meanwhile, Erica attends college interviews and soon realises that she doesn't have a backup. It's a funny episode of the show. It's relevant in the way that people still argue over which Batman is the best. The argument still involves Michael Keaton, but has moved on to include Christian Bale as well. It's also interesting seeing what will happen with Erica, now that she is ready to go off to university. I don't really like her character, but I did like her singing in the rain moment - and Toto's "Africa" being on the soundtrack of this episode.
The Dynamic Duo
With a new Batman film out currently this episode was quite timely.
I like that Pops was more involved here, and his relationship with Adam (not fully explored much in S4) is one of the strengths of the show.
Lovely.
