How to See the Stars on the Longest Winter Nights We are now only a few weeks away from the winter solstice Dec. 22.

Or even a Penguin. It turns out that the only thing one needs to qualify as a member of Batman's rogue gallery is being insane and knowing how to sew a costume. We all know that sooner or later, the Batman movies are going to run out of interesting villains to feature and will be forced to start scraping closer to the bottom of the barrel.
