I've just been polled!

What, only five!? You torture me.
Voted for The Rock, Top Gun, Black Hole, Moon and Children of Men.
Moon and Indiana Jones are tied for most-votes, so far.
Not a single Ernest movie?

* East of Eden

Hey, it worked.
I can't say anything's missing on that list, since you already said it's compiled by the most popular ones, but there's a few I'd like to add.
Another time.
If we're going to do DARK KNIGHT, it's my opinion that we should do the whole franchise in order. Burton, Schumaker, Nolan. Even though the Nolans are a reboot. Trey worked on BATMAN RETURNS, for one thing. For another, I feel like TDK is something we won't be able to fully appreciate and discuss unless we've gone on the journey together.
That is an awesome chart.
I agree with Dorkman. I mean, you *could* go without the Burton/Schumaker films, but it'd just be cheating. I was actually wondering why Batman Begins wasn't on that list, since I personally find it to be better than Dark Knight.
Not enough 80s movies on that survey for my liking (like the Blob!) But I voted anyway ![]()
Can I just get Eddie doing a commentary on every Batman movie all by himself?
I honestly think that would be my favorite batch of DIF commentaries ever.
I'd get very lonely very quick, if I did a podcast all by my lonesome.
It's not like Batman is even my favorite character or anything. He is very much writer dependent in terms of quality. Chuck Dixon turned him into a sort of neo-con claptrap (kinda like Chuck Dixon, actually) and even Frank Miller sorta lost the plot with him during All Star Batman. What fascinates me about Batman is that of all the DC heroes, he's the most mortal. While Marvel was all about making Super Powered folk relatable, Batman is about making a regular man more powerful by sheer force of will. Its easy to forget that Batman premiered in a book called "Detective Comics" and that he is oft referred to as the worlds greatest detective. The first Batman film dabbled in this, as well as Nolan in the Dark Knight (less so in Begins). But even so, that's the least explored aspect of the character. Bottom line, for such a popular character that has become iconic, he's been the hardest to translate what makes him great to the small or large screen, and therefore making what Nolan has done with him such an accomplishment.
