I found it very illuminating, especially the realization that if you give …

I’ve never been big on the Batman franchise. I’m more a Marvel fan than DC, and Batman is still fixed in my mind as being pretty camp. The recent series that just ended notwithstanding. This fan-made video, however, makes me want to rethink this. Full of betrayal and darkness, the …
