Cinema today is littered with superheroes. The Avengers, the X-Men, the Justice League; there are enough comic book franchises, stand-alone films, spin-offs, etc., going on that we can watch some mighty do-gooder face off against the forces of evil almost every month for about 10 bucks a pop. Despite this modern influx of comic book films giving us enough superheroes to populate a small country — which, actually, is literally true considering the inhabitants of Wakanda’s access to vibranium, but I digress — there remains one movie superhero who stands above the rest and has done so for 30 years now.
I am talking, of course, about Michael Keaton’s Batman, who was first introduced to the public June 23, 1989, in a film simply bearing the masked man’s name.
