The Batman film of 1989 starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson set the bar high for future Batman movies. Where else can you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? Since 1993, Vertigo has been the leader in adult content for high caliber story telling in comics. And finally, can we please bring back the video games of 1979? From arcade games to handhelds, they were far out, man!!
