The other "Batman Begins"... The H-Bomb: Okay, before you start throwing Batarangs at me, let me just say that calling this the other "Batman Begins" isn't at all fair, since Frank Miller's graphic novel predates the Christopher Nolan film by almost two decades.

This film, which I'm guessing was supposed to be a thriller, certainly had a dream team on both sides of the camera. A first rate director in Jim Sheridan ("My Left Foot", "In America"), and a first rate cast in Daniel Craig, … [Read more...] about Dream House
