Last year five burly adventures -- Total Recall, Die Hard 2, Dick Tracy, Days of Thunder and Another 48 HRS. -- grossed a robust, cumulative half billion. And Batman, good man vs. evil man, was the big warm-weather hit of 1989. Saving the world is man's work, of course. (Blowing it up is too, but that just proves how powerful guys are.)
