I took in two movies this weekend! 

The first one --- The X-Files: I Want to Believe

Dir: Chris Carter   Stars:  David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson

Synopsis:  Mulder and Scully are back, working with the FBI to solve a case involving a missing agent, a bunch of body parts, and a disgraced psychic priest.  This movie is not based on the alien conspiracy storyline that ran through the series.

Last week, Christian Bale was a clean cut, respected method actor, and about to release one of the biggest movies of all time (The Dark Knight, for anyone living under a rock).  This week, he's the center of several controversies.

In preparation for the new Batman movie, I thought it might be fun to see what everyone thinks about the Batman movie franchises past and present (These are not in order of appearance).

Here are the Bat-questions, and I'd love to hear your Bat-answers!  (Yes, it is much more fun to put "bat" in front of everything, though it's been driving my best Batgirl, Jenny, nuts all week.)

1) Who is the best Batman --- and why?
