Batman Returns – Of Monsters and Men
There can be blurred lines between a villain, hero and someone in between. Blurred even to the point where they all look the same.

Men – Not All Men Suck
Was a battle of the sexes always inevitable? Or did we create a rift ourselves through all the things said and done between us?
