ABOUT THIS EPISODE

NBC News legal analyst and defense attorney Danny Cevallos and Greg Burke, Lou's longtime comedy partner and best man, join Lou to answer the most pressing legal question of our time: what happens if people find out Bruce Wayne is Batman?

We also get into Lou's parking ticket victory, Kyle Rittenhouse and Kenosha, George Floyd and the autopsy defense that could upend the Chauvin case, why cops rarely get charged, how the criminal justice system treats poverty vs. race, the Insane Clown Posse being classified as a criminal organization, and why Batman's use of child sidekicks is probably felony murder.
