Y'all, there were SO MANY PHOTOS like this. For you youngs, I cannot express to you how....bonkers and out of left field this entire thing was. (And of course it only got crazier.)

Listen, Katie Holmes COMMITED to this role. (FWIW, so did Tom!)

I do love this Full Tooth Joey Potter grin, as opposed to the Joey Potter Half-Smile. This dress isn't bad, given how 2005 Shiny it also is.

Sibi Blazic and Christian Bale

I ALSO need to note for you youngs that, after a SERIES of sort of wacky Batmans, Christian Bale was sort of a revelation.

Ailsa Marshall and Gary Oldman

They're no longer together, as I understand it, but let's give Ailsa some love for those shoes.

Brooke Burke and Dave Navarro

WHAT ARE EITHER OF THESE HUMANS WEARING?

Annabeth Gish

She looks like the very young divorcee mother of the bride who's pretty sure she's going to bang the best man after the reception.

Maggie Grace

And she's the mother of the groom who is vaguely disapproving.

Lisa Rinna

This feels DEEPLY on brand.

Ryan Reynolds

Look at this baby child!

Amber Tamblyn

Oh you sweet summer child how did ANY of these proportions happen? (This is very much...a thing we did in 2005. I don't know why. We just did.)

Adam Brody

In 2005, I was very hot for Adam Brody and looking at this photo...I respect myself for having made that choice at that time.

Michelle Trachtenberg

So...this dress is actually still really good and she could totally wear this again.

Liam Neeson

I like Liam Neeson well enough but my real thought here was, "OH I miss that Hamburger Hamlet behind him."

Over to the London premiere. This is boring and also lacks the accessory of her enthusiastic fiance.

Christian Bale and Sibi Blazic

The take from Sibi for this press tour is basically, "yeah, this isn't about me."

Charlotte Emerson and Val Kilmer

Hey! Val Kilmer showed up! Nice of a past Batman to be supportive. (Really, the past Batmans should be a club like the Former Presidents are.)

I will say that Katie Holmes seems very GIDDY at this part of her life.

Michael Caine and Shakira Caine

Shakira looks as elegant as usual.

Rupert Grint

Hey, Ron!

This was Berlin. Sibi is TRULY not bothered by her own wardrobe. Respect.

Katie Holmes and Morgan Freeman

This dress on Katie is pretty good; the styling is VERY 2005. I had a pair of those shoes. I loved them. They ate up my toes so brutally.
