WMoyer83 The Bar was Set with this Film

Tim Burton's original take on the Dark Knight set the standard for cinematic super hero fare. Without a doubt any comic book film adaptation is compared with this film. The overall plot of the film is simple, and easy to follow. Given that during 1989 the average moviegoer was not ...
