So you're excited for the new Batman movie, are ya? Does your knowledge start and stop with Christian Bale (I'd understand if it does, he's so beautiful)? Or do you sharply remember all that came before Christopher Nolan's reboot? Remember the '90s, when there were, like, three Batman movies? George Clooney even wore the suit at one point!

Published 7/18/2008 by PopSugar at POPSUGAR -- Insanely addictive.
... to tape The Daily Show yesterday. Thanks to the high anticipation for the movie and amazing reviews — including Buzz, who thought it was incredible — Maggie should be able to keep smiling right through opening weekend. Of course while everything surrounding the film has a tinge of sadness, the movie's fans are helping to honor Heath's legacy starting with ticket pre-sales, which have been outstanding. Until you get a chance to hit the theater yourself, prepare by testing your Batman knowledge.

Whew! If you're as big a Batman (or Abba) enthusiast as I am, it probably feels like all of your energy has been put into anticipating this one week. You've probably been hyped up on Batman (or Abba) for quite some time now... maybe years. But there's a half-year full of movies left.

The Dark Knight is hands down the best Batman movie yet, but has Christopher Nolan painted himself into a corner by using up the only viable Batman villains? Most of the Batman villains left are either too campy (the Penguin, the Ventriloquist), depend too much on flexible comic book logic (Clayface, Killer Croc), or are just watered-down versions of the Joker (the Riddler, the Mad ...Movie review: The Dark Knight (2008) by Mike

To butcher a famous line by Jack Nicholson, the original Joker from Batman: “I have given a name to my Oscar ….and it is Batman.” More specifically, The Dark Knight .

I gave Batman Begins a C on first viewing. Spoilers below for Batman Begins and The Prestige .

No other superhero has changed faces or directions more, for better or worse, than the Caped Crusader. Batman’s long strange trip through film is a tale of success, followed by a hellacious fall. But as Alfred would remind us, “Why do we fall,sir?

As anticipations run sky high for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Night , I thought it would be behoovy to remind y'all that he will never top a previous Batman franchise.
