Night Shyamalan may have officially turned on his audience.

Night yelling “You expected brilliance?

info_outlineIs the best batman movie ever a 1993 box office bomb that Warner Bros. Failed to market properly? We think so!
This week we are reviewing Batman: Mask of The Phantasm. The first animated feature film coming off the heels of Batman The Animated Series’s first season. The film is unique in its approach to focus more on Batman himself and his reasoning for donning the cape and cowl rather than focus on his rogues gallery.
