The Cultural Impact of "Why So Serious?"


Summer movie season isn't happening, but that's not stopping me from writing about it. At MEL, we're launching "The Ultimate Summer Movie Guide," which will look back at the most interesting, amazing and novel aspects of bygone blockbuster seasons. First up: I dove into the legacy of "Why So Serious?," the brilliant Dark Knight catchphrase that became a shorthand for a certain kind of moody comic-book movie. Hope you enjoy.
