The Bat-man.

Okay, let’s get out some of my thoughts about the movie watching public’s darling,  The Dark Knight. Now, let met first say that I am absolutely convinced that I would have enjoyed the movie quite well if it hadn’t been for the savage overhyping of my friends, Rotten Tomatoes, critical reviews and every forum I [...]
