The 90’s Batman Anthology are a hidden gem for any long-time Batman fan, showing a quirky-yet-dark version of the dark knight. However not all of the films hit the mark. I am, of course, talking about the final film in the anthology: Batman and Robin. I tried to sit down to re-watch the film but I could […]

I’ve talked a lot about idols on this site, in this column, other columns, and most recently, in an interview with some idols themselves.
