Halloween 2012: Batman Villains!

“Maybe It’s Time We Stopped Trying to Outsmart the Truth, and Let It Have Its Day.”

Finally. I thought I’d never finish this thing. I don’t think the movie’s perfect — I certainly don’t think it’s as good as The Dark Knight — but it is, ultimately, a very satisfying end to a trilogy.

“I Make Art Until Someone Dies.”

Robin! Butter The Bat Croissant!
