Na na na na na na na na BATMAN! Although not as upbeat as that famous song, the newest installment of Batman does more to the common perception about super heroes than any previous attempt. "The Dark Knight" transcends the typical "good versus evil" motif and takes viewers for a dark ride through the innermost caverns of human nature, where that line between right and wrong has never been so thin.

Don't turn your nose up at John Mellencamp - after all, most of the best music you'll find are the albums you steal out of your dad's collection. Odds are, you'll love John Mellencamp's "Life Death Love and Freedom" as much as you loved "Jack and Diane." In his latest release, Mellencamp worked with producer T Bone Burnett to create a moodier, darker sound that differs greatly from the John "Cougar" Mellencamp days of tight T-shirts and jukebox-oriented anthems that went great with PBR.

The maniacal laugh, the freakish ruby lipped smile, the brilliant green hair - all accented with a purple suit. Only one villain is known to have such a vibrant and exaggerated appearance: the Joker, Batman's arch-nemesis and quite possibly the most deserving of Batman's crime-fighting attention with his violent sociopathic and sometimes, if not always, murderous tendencies.
