Batman: The Animated Series (1992) – The Cat and the Claw Part 1, On Leather Wings and Heart of Ice
Problems with my computer, and consequently my internet has put a bit of a stopper on me continuing my journeys with The A-Team, so in the interim, I thought I would move on to the next series I wanted to revisit, the fantastic Bruce Timm series based on the Batman DC Comics, Batman: The…
Batman Begins (2005) – Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale take over the reigns of one of DC’s greatest characters, Batman, in the next film to be watched for the Sci-Fi Chronicles book, and the last one to review, as I’ve reviewed Nolan’s latter entries into the trilogy before. On reflection this morning, as much as I like this…
Batman & Robin (1997) – Joel Shumacher
Ugh, and you thought Quest for Peace was bad. My time with the Dark Knight hits an all time low as my journey with the Sci-Fi Chronicles book continues. This is, quite possibly, the singular worst movie in the entire history of superhero films, and the fault all rests squarely on director Joel Schumacher’s…
Batman Forever (1995) – Joel Schumacher
As I continue my time with the Dark Knight via the Sci-Fi Chronicles book, I think it was after Batman Returns that someone at Warner Brothers wanted to get away from the darker, more adult ideas Tim Burton’s films were starting to introduce and perhaps push the series in a more ‘family-friendly’ way. Enter…
Batman Returns (1992) – Tim Burton

Having previously reviewed Tim Burton’s 1989 interpretation of Batman, it’s time to leap forward to the early 90s to his the eccentric director’s first ever sequel. Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman in this tale that…
The Dark Knight (2008) – Christoper Nolan
The 101 Action Movies brings the second installment in Nolan’s version of the famous DC character, Batman, for me to rewatch. This one is epic, sprawling, with a vast cast, and a number of villains from the Caped Crusader’s Rogues Gallery, this time around we have appearances from Dr. Crane aka The Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy),…
Bonnie & Clyde (2013) – Mini-series
Starting this evening, and being simulcast on Lifetime and The History Channel, running for 2 evenings is a retelling of the infamous story of Bonnie & Clyde. Most film buffs know the 1967 version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the titular roles under Arthur Penn’s direction. This time out, we get a…
