    "This is a million dollar concept in a $300,000 package"

    IT has been 10 years since the first Purge, but considerably less time since the prequel titled "The First Purge", which makes this whole thing a bit confusing.

    "Bane is funny. He's got jokes"

    After 8 years of being a recluse, hidden away from the world, Bruce Wayne dons the Batman cowl and the Dark Knight returns. Thematically, it makes sense to release this episode under similar circumstances.
