Ahead of Batwoman's upcoming season two premiere on The CW, new lead Javicia Leslie opens up on what we can expect from Ryan Wilder and whether she ever reached out to former Caped Crusader, Ruby Rose.
Batman Returns, I decided to watch 1989’s

Batman is such an interesting product of its time. At the time of its release, the Batman that existed in people’s minds was still the ’60s fun children’s show with Adam West (its own fantastic thing, btw).
