Need some catching help in an AL-only league? Try Perez, who has homered in three straight games. He hit so poorly last year that he was useless from a Fantasy perspective, but has improved in that regard this season while showing more power than ever (he’s already reached a career high in dingers). You can do worse than Perez, who looks headed for a career year.

It’s a solid film, still benefiting from Keaton’s work as Batman as well as Burton’s eye for bringing that dark and brooding atmosphere to life. There’s no question it misses Nicholson, however, as DeVito’s grotesque portrayal of Penguin just isn’t as entertaining — it’s telling that all three sequels featured multiple villains. Pfeiffer is stunning as Catwoman and was doubtless the object of countless fantasies among pubescent boys all around the world.

So what do you get? Well, primarily you get extended and/or new songs. That starts in the opening scene in which Jackson’s performance now includes a second verse, giving you more lyrics but losing the really cool, establishing cut from the original. That’s pretty much the same vibe we got from the second notable addition, a longer interaction between Jackson and Ally in the parking lot. Yes, you’re getting more, but it also speaks to how crisply edited the theatrical version was.

At 29, Orf is no longer a prospect, but that’s not to say he couldn’t be an asset in the majors. On Thursday, he was 2-for-4 with a double for Triple-A San Antonio, giving him a five-game hit streak and a .485 BA over the last 10 games. Orf earned himself a 15-game trial with the Brewers last year, but he hit poorly and showed minimal extra-base sock (however, his first career hit was a homer that garnered him a curtain call). This year in the minors, he’s hitting very well, cranking more homers, striking out less often and continuing to swipe bags. Orf may be blocked at second, but he’s shown he can fill a super utility role in the minors and this season has mostly played outfield, so it would be nice to see him get a look at some point as he strikes us as a player that could surprise if given enough PT.

Biggio got the call on Friday to make his MLB debut as the Jays continue to promote their top prospects. At Triple-A this year, he’s continued his trend of being a serious on-base machine (.445 OBP) thanks to exceptional strike zone judgment. The University of Notre Dame product offers Fantasy owners both power and speed, so grab him now and see what he can do — especially in OBP formats.

There is a lot of funny gags and moments throughout the film, and the spontaneous dance numbers are cleverly implemented and choreographed. The karaoke scene might be the best in the film, and the whole homage aspect of these numbers is sure to elicit some nostalgia. The movie also manages to steer clear of anything that could be considered harsh or cutting with its light-hearted mockery keeping the tone perpetually whimsical.
