Robert Fure takes a look at all of the actors who have donned the cape and cowl in cinematic history. Who will emerge as the greatest of all-time? Find out here.

No other superhero has changed faces or directions more, for better or worse, than the Caped Crusader. Batman’s long strange trip through film is a tale of success, followed by a hellacious fall. But as Alfred would remind us, “Why do we fall,sir? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”

I just know that I need the bat-signal in my house. I’m just going to go with one of those “just in case” excuses. Like, “I need it just in case Batman was real, and my hometown was in peril.”

I mean who wouldn’t want to be cruising around in Batman’s ride, only to have it transform into a giant ass kicking robot? Doesn’t everyone dream of that?

Batman first appeared on the scene to fight off the evils of Gotham City back in 1939. And now, nearly 70 years later his following is bigger than ever, with him at the forefront of one of Hollywood’s most anticipated films of 2008. We walk you through his history on paper, from the first time he was drawn by Bob Kane to his most modern incarnations.

Every Sunday, Film School Rejects presents a movie that was made before you were born and tells you why you should like it. This week, Old Ass Movies presents the Batman movie even you weren’t cool enough to know about.

Fans like to go to midnight showings of a big film. It’s exciting, a way to be one of the first to see a special movie, like The Dark Knight. But unless you already have your ticket to that midnight show you might be seeing The Dark Knight in the light of early morning.

I do consider Batman my tie for favorite comic character, tied with Wolverine. So it is really hard to watch this video without getting a little angry, but even harder to watch it and not laugh. Make sure to watch through the credits. It shows Superman and The Hulk picking teams for softball.

I may be $20 closer to the poor house, but at least everyone will know I’m a bum with style.

This is one of the reasons we began the Officially Cool feature here at FilmSchoolRejects. When we come across amazing art from an amazing artist, it makes us feel all warm and tingly inside…and it makes us empty our wallets.

I’m sure you remember my older officially cool sneaker submissions that included the Freddy Krueger and the Jason Voorhees sneakers. Well now I found something a little more up my alley.

Assembled by the fine folks over at Black20’s Trailer Park, this is one of those cool little offbeat pieces of the Batman universe that you won’t want to have missed.

There’s a scene in The Dark Knight where star Christian Bale stands on a ledge on top of the Sears Tower. Is it real or is it CGI? It’s real; the way director Christopher Nolan likes it and the way he believes an audience should see it.

Over the years, there have been quite a few cute animated couples, and these are the ones that top the list.

I always love a cool desktop for my macbook or my iPhone. Here are some for the movie-lovers out there…

Would Brandon Routh’s Superman stand a chance against the green giant? What about Christian Bale’s Batman? Here who we think might actually stand a chance against the Incredible Hulk from the new film.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised that the creative team behind the viral goodness that is The Dark Knight keep going the extra mile. They’ve proven over and over again that they’re taking the city of Gotham seriously. Almost as seriously as District Attorney candidate Harvey Dent.

My first troubling thought though – ‘Will there be fatalities? So will I see Batman get his head cut off or something? Because I don’t know if I could handle that’.

I took one look at it and I said “Oh my god, I need this!” You can expect it in stores in August, which will probably be the month you have to go on welfare after all the awesome Dark Knight collectibles hit stores.

You can ask any close friend of mine what I would do if I became filthy rich, and it is always the same answer. I would change my name to Bruce Wayne, and I’d buy Tim Burton and Michael Keaton’s Batmobile.
