Batman is the earliest memory I have of being a genre fan. How or why, I’ve no idea – it must’ve been repeats of the TV series that had me telling my mum and nana about the “naughty Joker”. They fully supported my love of such things, and I never looked back. By the time 1989’s Tim Burton movie came around, I was fully caught up in Batmania. But it was 1992’s sequel that was to forever capture my heart. Even now it’s my favourite film of all time.
