The Batman movie franchise actually began in 1943 with serialized matinees that put the kiddies to sleep in glorious black and white. And lest we forget, the more colorful and much more cornball 60's Batman TV series spawned a movie that wasted valuable theater time as well. But in modern times, 1989's Batman, directed by goth filmmaker Tim Burton truly started to see the vision--even with the choice of comedic actor Michael Keaton in the lead role, and Jack Nicholson as "The Joker". While a bit over-the-top, the flick made enough money to get sequels started and Burton returned with villains Catwoman and The Penguin for 1992's Batman Returns. But he soon left us with Joel Schumacher and replacement Batman Val Kilmer for 1995's Batman Forever. With a gay director at the helm, the focus became style over substance, neon and a desecration of the batsuit with nipples and codpiece. By 1997, Batman & Robin finally killed the first franchise with George Clooney in the starring role and an overabundance of co-stars and villains. With 6, count 'em, 6 big name stars in the roles of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane, the final movie didn't have enough time for a storyline. After and 8-year hiatus, Warner Bros rebooted the Bat-films with 2008's Batman Begins. Director Christopher Nolan brought about a more serious treatment with Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne. This re-energized the franchise and 2008's The Dark Knight is currently the biggest comic book movie of all-time. As of this writing, the franchise is secure, and several more sequels are guaranteed.

I know some folks from Turkey and well, it's sligthly more complicated than that ...

Kurds are sort of separatists, that want their own state (not only in Turkey, but also in Iraq); Turks says its bullshit and call a lot of Kurds terrorists (and they call their party, PKK i think, terrorist organisation - and they sort of are - visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers_Party ). Plus, Turks have very strange history with other nations (ever heard about Armenian genocide?)

so, I wouldn't be SO sure this guy is a terrorist... yeah, its kind of complicated in Turkey
(that doesn't change the fact that guy is an absolute moron)

Not sure what that Turkish comment has to do with batman, but this list should have Batman the Movie, with Adam West. Although the show will probably never be released, the film has been for awhile.
