It's Batman Returns -- we're updating it. Batman (1989) is up against Blade II.

Man, I hope Spidey 2 goes all the way. Probably my favorite. Love Knight, but love Spidey more.

I liked it last time better. Darkman and Spidey 2 would probably be final 4 for me. Batman: The Movie and The Dark Knight was another really tough one.

I loved that matchup! Seeing two Raimi movies go head-to-head in round two is very appropriate. Also loved seeing Dark Knight against old ass Batman The Movie.
Nice work staff.

Man, I'm disappointed to see The Crow go down to Superman. I love both movies, but Brandon Lee was just awsome.

Great job this time Scott. I think the toughest match-up this time is Batman Returns vs. The Incredible Hulk. I think Batman Returns should win this one.

I just realized Steel should have The Phanton's tagline. I mean, SLAM EVIL! And he's a b-baller!

Thanks for the redux, Scott. I'm glad The Incredibles is still in the race.
By the way, I voted for Batman: The Movie over Dark Knight because that's just funny.

The original Batman is way better than the Dark Knight....
Think about "Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb" compared to "Why So Serious?"
See......No contest :)

I thought Superman/Crow would be a closer race...
and I have to re-iterate what I said at the very beginning: The Dark Knight is a great movie, if you know absolutely NOTHING about the comic books
