I really don't remember any of this.  But you could be rewatching just about any show I only saw once 10 years ago and no matter how much I liked it, I wouldn't remember the individual episodes.

   What Did You Watch?
 

I watched
Batman Begins (4K disc) 2005 movie written and directed by Christopher Nolan.  Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne and Batman and unlike some other actors (cough, George Clooney) manages to make each character distinct.  After the murder of his parents, Bruce leaves Gotham and is trained by Ra's al Ghul and his League of Shadows, but after a falling out, Bruce returns to Gotham and becomes Batman.  Along with his trusted butler Alfred (Michael Caine) and Gordan (Gary Oldman), the last honest cop in the city, Batman tries to stop the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy). Excellent movie.  The only reason this one doesn't get all the love and attention it deserves is the sequel managed to be even better.
The Dark Knight (4K disc) 2008 sequel written and directed by Christopher Nolan which finds Batman going toe to toe against The Joker (Heath Ledger) and along the way he must also stop Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart).  Even better than the first one.
The Dark Knight Rises (4K disc) 2012 sequel written and directed by Christopher Nolan which has Batman trying to go up against Bane (Tom Hardy) except Bane has no time for Batman's nonsense so he breaks Batman and leaves him for dead.  Not as good as the first two due to some plot issues, but it gets the job done.  And Tom Hardy's "Bane" makes it worth a watch, and let's not forget Anne Hathaway plays a perfect Catwoman.
Green Lantern (blu-ray) 2011 movie starring Deadpool as Green Lantern and Lady Deadpool as Green Lantern's girlfriend.  It's an OK to turn your brain off and ignore the many, many, plots holes, and just enjoy the ride, type of flick.  It does fall apart at the end, when the giant cloud monster from "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" shows up.   But if you're already ignoring all the plot holes anyway, who cares. At least the Green Lantern bits are good.
