The Scene of the Batman Is In Your Mind

After DiCaprio says inception is possible, I’m not gonna lie, I peed myself a little. Which was fine, because I hadn’t changed my pants yet from when I peed myself watching the Call of the Dead trailer this morning. What? Oh, like you haven’t sat in urine-soaked pants for seven or so hours just because you were too lazy to walk to the bedroom and change them.
