In Windows 10, however, it finally looks like the Windows Store has turned the corner. The Windows Store has had a rocky start. At the outset, it had little going for it.

While Ben Affleck has since vacated the role of Batman on film, it turns out prior Batman actor George Clooney urged him not to take the role at all. Batman might just be the most popular superhero in the world, but to say that he’s experienced an up and down cinematic career would be an understatement. The Caped Crusader had trouble getting rid of a bomb in 1966’s Adam West camp-fest, indulged in darkness and Prince songs with Tim Burton in 1989, then both battled and seduced Michelle Pfieffer’s dominatrix-like Catwoman in 1992’s Batman Returns....
