The Dark Knight vs. the Films of 2012

In the more than seven decades following his first appearance in Detective Comics #27, Batman has called a lot of colorful characters both enemies and allies (and sometimes both). This Friday, his latest big-screen adventure, The Dark Knight Rises, hits theaters everywhere, landing in a year jam-packed with some of the biggest genre releases of all time. 

As impressive as 2012 may be for moviegoers, however, it’s old hat for Batman. He’s seen them all before!

Read on for proof as SuperHeroHype presents The Dark Knight vs. The Films of 2012!
