Tron Legacy trailer shows off the story

This trailer actually came out earlier in the week, and since its debut it has already circled the internet a few times. Unless something unpredictable happens, it appears that Disney might have a hit on their hands with Tron Legacy. Here’s hoping it is good enough to warrant another sequel 28 years from now!

In the most recent trailer for the film, the story is the focus as opposed to the visually amazing trailers or the Daft Punk focused videos. If you are hoping to remain totally spoiler free about the movie, even up to the basic premise, then avoid this trailer and look for the movie to release in 3D and on IMAX on December 17.

For the rest of you, the story follows Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), 20 years after his father disappeared without a trace. Sam is lured into the digital world where he discovers that his father has been held captive by a computerized version of himself called CLU 2. With the help of the warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son try to escape and the world that Kevin created.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
