I believe that the true “star” of the live-action Batman movies is not always the Dark Knight himself, who has had the show stolen from him by the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic Catwoman portrayal in Batman Returns and, especially, Heath Ledger’s Academy Award-winning performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight. Then again, there are also plenty of Batman movie side characters who have not quite received the attention that they deserve. I thought I would take the opportunity to give them their long-awaited moment under the Batsignal and explain why they should be recognized as some of the best things about the best Batman movies — starting with one of Gotham’s sharpest reporters.
