But, even if you think you've seen and read all there is on 'The Dark Knight,' you still might not know everything there is to know about one of the biggest movies of all-time.

If you thought all of the official images released from 'Batman vs. Superman' were dour, just wait! According to a baffling new story making the rounds on the internet today, Warner Bros. has decided that their superhero films will be joke-free.

And no other seemingly reasonable classmates of his were going to publicly disagree with this idea.

One of the greatest injustices in human history is the fact that the "Batman" TV series from the 1960s has never come out on DVD or Blu ray. Or even videotape before that.

Someone made a fake trailer for the Batman / Superman team-up movie. It features Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Bryan Cranston.

The ORIGINAL Batmobile was auctioned off over the weekend, and it went for $4.62 million. This is the one from the '60s series starring Adam West. Six Batmobiles were used during the show's run and this was the FIRST one.
