LIVE ACTION

• Batman Begins - Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
• Batman - Director Tim Burton, the 1989 movie delivers the goods, giving the caped crusader a thorough overhaul in keeping with the crime fighter's evolution in DC Comics. Michael Keaton strikes just the right mood as the brooding "Dark Knight" of Gotham City; Kim Basinger plays Gotham's intrepid reporter Vicki Vale; and Jack Nicholson goes wild as the maniacal and scene-stealing Joker, who plots a takeover of the city.
• Batman Returns - Gotham City faces two monstrous criminal menaces: the bizarre, sinister Penguin (Danny DeVito) and the slinky, mysterious Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer). Can Batman (Michael Keaton) battle two formidable foes at once? Especially when one wants to be mayor and the other is romantically attracted to Bruce Wayne?
• Batman & Robin - This time the dynamic duo is up against the nefarious Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is bent on turning the world into an iceberg, and the slyly seductive but highly toxic Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), who wants to eliminate all animal life and turn the Earth into a gigantic greenhouse. Alicia Silverstone lends a hand as Batgirl.
• Batman Forever - Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colorful criminals, the Riddler (a role tailor-made for funnyman Jim Carrey) and the diabolical Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), who join forces to conquer Gotham's population with a brain-draining device. Nicole Kidman plays the seductive psychologist who wants to know what makes Batman tick. Boasting a redesigned Batmobile and plenty of new Bat hardware, Batman Forever also introduces Robin the Boy Wonder.
• Batman - The Movie - Holy camp site, Batman! After a fabulously successful season on TV, the campy comic book adventure hit the big screen in 1966, complete with painful puns, outrageous super villains, and fights punctuated with word balloons sporting such onomatopoeic syllables as "Pow!," "Thud!," and "Blammo!".
• Batman - Holy Batmania - Learn everything you wanted to know about the Caped Crusader's legendary TV show and 1966 theatrical feature with this special two-disc set containing four main programs: "Batman: Holy Batmania," "Adam West: Behind the Cowl," "Julie Newmar: The Cat's Meow" and "Cesar Romero: In a Class by Himself."
• Batman - Return to the Batcave - Adam West and Burt Ward are taken on a crazy adventure when the Batmobile is stolen from a car museum and they must track down the thief and return it. After solving a puzzle, they realize that the clues to finding the fiend who stole the Batmobile are hidden in their past.
• Batman and Robin - The Complete Movie Serial Collection - Directed at a breakneck pace by serial vet Spencer Gordon Bennett, the Complete 1949 Movie Serial Collection's 15 episodes pits Lowery's Batman and Johnny Duncan as the Boy Wonder against arch-villain The Wizard, who has designs on a remote-control device that doubles as a death ray. Jane Adams's Vicki Vale is on hand to fall into peril at least once per episode, while Ed Wood regular Lyle Talbot looks on sternly as Commissioner Gordon.
• Batman - The Complete 1943 Movie Serial Collection - Relive the serial that pitted Batman against villains during WW II.
• Birds of Prey - Follow the new adventures or Batgirl and The Huntress (the daughter of Batman and Batgirl).
• Blade Trilogy I, II, III - Wesley Snipes completely embraces the role of the title character and plays him to the hilt, with just a bit of dry cocky humor that is very refreshing.
• Black Scorpion - As a crime-fighting icon, Black Scorpion is an immediate success, our 21st Century is better fitted with a powerful female to bring law and order. Michelle Lintel proves to be an adequate heroine. Her self-confident entrances with corny jokes are the equal of Batman at his best. The colorful villains are made even better by their inherent lack of credibility. This is escapism at its best.
• Blankman - A tale of two brothers, Kevin has grown up to be an writer for one crazed editor. Daryl, on the other hand, is an inventor who, of course, has dozens of ridiculous gadgets that will somehow pay off, while he uses them to fight crime.
• Captain America - In WWII, Steve Rogers undergoes an experiment that turns him into a super soldier and is eventually thrown in Italy, the place of the Nazis(at least in this movie)and fights the Red Skull.
• Captain America II - Captain America(Reb Brown) must fight a ruthless terrorist (Christopher Lee) who has a deadly weapon.
• Captain America - In this 1944 Republic serial, Captain America is Grant Gardner, a Discrict Attorney. He's battling every day crooks's with a pistol.
• Captain Marvel - The finest of the old-time (1941) movie serials, and the finest live action version of Captain Marvel. This movie was voted by Wizard magazine as the best comics-to-movie adaptation ever. It has decent special effects and a fine story. A classic desert adventure, including angry horde, offended god, and stalwart hero. The flying sequences are well done. The cliff hangers are appropriately dramatic. The Scorpion is a nice serial villain, complete with hooded face and ultimate weapon.
• Catwoman - Halle Berry in shredded skin-tight leather is reason enough to see Catwoman. As Patience Philips, Berry plays a mousy graphic designer for a cosmetics company who learns a little too much about her employer's new beauty cream and gets flushed down a waste-disposal pipe. A supernatural cat brings Patience back to life and brings up a new persona from the depths of her psyche; soon she's bounding around fire escapes, cracking a whip, and getting framed for a couple of murders by a villainous ex-super model.

Now as the superhuman skater known as the Condor, Tony must reconcile a crime fighting conscience with his rage for vengeance. What is the missing component to his parent’s DNA regeneration formula? Why is their sinister ValTech partner creating a race of adrenaline-crazed killers? And who is the depraved super-villain sworn to destroy Condor?

• Darkman - Left for dead after his lab is detonated, he miraculously survives when the ensuing blast hurls him into the nearby harbor. Treated as a John Doe at a city hospital, he is unknowingly submitted to radical therapy which numbs his nerves to feeling--but which heightens his strength and his emotions. Once conscious, Peyton escapes from the hospital and builds a ramshackle lab in an abandoned industrial plant. Horribly burned and scarred by the lab explosion, he uses synthetic skin to impersonate his would-be murderers and seek retribution for their evil deeds.
