THE SHOWBUZZDAILY RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW: Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight”

If THE DARK KNIGHT had no superhero or comic book trappings–if The Joker were scarred but not hideously made up, and Batman were a bit lower-tech and merely disguised rather than wearing a cowl and cape–Chris...

SHOWBUZZDAILY RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW: Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever”

As Alex in A Clockwork Orange would say, this is the real and like tragic part of the story beginning, O my brothers. After Batman Returns undergrossed Batman by $90M in the US, Warners, you might say, freaked out. A...
