DEVELOPER: PHL Collective PUBLISHER: Outright Games REVIEWED ON: Xbox Series X from a copy purchased by the author. Movie tie-in games, a genre once that clogged the bargain bin of major retailers and the shelves of your local GameStop, have more or less gone the way of the dinosaur. There was a time when every…
Revealed back in May with its voice cast confirmed in July, the trailer for the animated adaptation of Injustice: Gods Among Us was once exclusive to the home video release of Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2. Now the preview of the film, simply titled Injustice, has found its way online. Based on the first…

Batman Returns, released twenty-five years ago today on June 19th, 1992 was the last Tim Burton directed, Micheal Keaton starring movie before the franchise was torpedoed by Joel Schumacher and eventually rebooted by Christopher Nolan in 2005 with Batman Begins.
