Movies.Com: My name is Chris Clow, on loan here from the web’s premiere source for Batman movie news, Jett’s Batman-On-Film.com. You can find my comic book reviews for a couple of regular titles over there, and I’m very happy to be part of the team counting down to the future’s most anticipated film releases.
