Tim Burton’s Batman movie was a stark departure from the lighthearted television series, and it sparked both controversy and a devoted following. Unlike previous adaptations, Burton drew inspiration from the grimmer, more complex storylines found in classic Batman comics like The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, and The Killing Joke. This resulted in a more serious, less comedic portrayal of the Caped Crusader, and a darker overall tone. The film also introduced iconic elements that defined Burton’s vision of Batman, including a now-famous line that nearly didn’t make the final cut.

Nurse Chapel’s feelings for Spock were even more apparent, but a key hint about their potential connection was easily overlooked.

The first season of Citadel aimed to hook viewers with its ambitious scope, but it didn’t meet expectations despite a massive $300 million budget – making it one of the priciest TV series ever created.
Jeanine Mason stars as Luz, a vigilante who targets wealthy and powerful individuals she believes exploit others.
