it's hard to convey just how pervasive that dumb black and yellow bat logo was that summer. the marketing was insane {nm} wow platinum Sep 07, 22:58

No one does that. Uni gives theaters.a.few.options for each title including a sliding scale but it's rarely.the best option {nm} Moviesnob Sep 08, 10:07

You mean that no one does that anymore... but that was the norm for many years. I was asking if it started with Batman. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 08, 21:01
