The nuances and disturbing recesses of Batman's psyche have been exposed, the moral dilemmas presented by terrorism thoughtfully and painfully dramatized, and society's fears incarnated in Ledger's Joker. We should all close the book on Batman.

I can grow weary, just like a mortal. Technically, there’s a Star Wars movie out next month I don’t plan to see — does that count for anything? I can grow weary, just like a mortal.

If Star Trek successfully relaunches, I simply don't believe you'll only watch one movie of the new series. He was leftier than that during the Depression.
