25 years ago last week Tim Burton’s Batman was released in theaters across the U.S., forever shaping the way that that the American movie-going public thought about action movies and Batman, and really, it would probably be better if we all just left it at that.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 8 So, this might end up being a bit of a summer of Shakespeare, but you’re all okay with that, right?
