Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
I know you guys have Batman on the brain. Who wouldn’t? The opening of Christopher Nolan’s end to his trilogy is only days away. In about a week, I’m going to be sitting, silent in a crowded theater while Christian Bale makes sexy eyes at Anne Hathaway(as CATWOMAN!) and duking it out with Thomas Hardy(as BANE!).

Movie Review from Guest Blogger Arianne
