    “We have a signal now, for when I’m needed. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call… it’s a warning.”

    This is my Batman movie.

    This movie opens up with one of, if not the most incredible character introductions in all of cinema. The shadowy alleys, the fear in the criminals faces, the levity of the cesspool that is Gotham; thorough all of this we get to know so much about this universe’s Batman before he is…

    “Maybe there are Banshees, too.
    I just don’t think that they scream to portend death anymore.”

    This film was either a good horrible time or a horrible good time. I’m not sure which but either way I loved it. 

    On the surface this movie is simply about a friendship gone wrong, but underneath it is far more complex and has something to say about fulfillment in life, loss of what’s important, the lengths at which some will go to achieve…
