‘Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders’ Will Swing Into Theaters for One Night Only
Time is a flat circle. When Matthew McConaughey’s character spoke these words in True Detective’s first season, he probably didn’t have the Batman character in mind (although, maybe he did, there’s a lot about that show I didn’t quite understand).
