Throwback to when I learned about Pitch Black — the Rise of the Guardians villain who tried to recruit Jack Frost to the dark side. I was still learning about villain lore and audio/video quality 😆 Which villain should I learn about next? #PitchBlack #throwback #villain #Movie #animation

REVISIONIST EVIL: the Alice movies were not beloved on their release. Fun? Sure. Faithful? Not so much. What franchise entry are people pretending was always good?

2008: The Dark Knight changes everything. 2009: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. One of these understood the assignment. Number two on Def Rec’s best “The” movies — rough start, worth the story. Best on-screen redemption arc for a comic character?

The Wolverine only exists because of The Dark Knight. They saw what a grounded, serious comic book movie could be and demanded the same for Logan. It worked… right? Is this the best grounded comic movie not named The Dark Knight?

Throwback to one of my all-time favorite theories — this keeps finding new people, so it’s back. What if Adam Knight was Bruce Wayne all along?

Happy Batman Day. My take: I like a little silliness with my superheroes.
The full Dark Knight discourse is in the latest Def Rec (The Best “The” Movies). Nolan forever, or are you over it?
