Welcome to BATMAN FILM CELEBRATION WEEK!
The highly anticipated sequel to BATMAN.
It's the 20th anniversary for the movie now & it's a great time to revisit it!
The movie was lauded for its dark nature & themes + the portrayal of catwoman by Michelle was universally adored.
However parents of children were shocked by this movie & a much lower gross than BATMAN led the studio to believe the film suffered from less than good word of mouth.
This resulted in Warner Bros taking the Batman Franchise in a different direction (which ended in ultimate disaster).
With The Dark Knight Returns so close it's time to REWATCH the old Batman movies & rate them. Todays movie to rate is THE BATMAN!
I'm watching this later today!
If you remember it rate it, or watch it to hold you off till the sun RISES on July 20th!
