When I heard that Robert Patterson would become the latest Batman let’s just say I was underwhelmed (and if you’ve followed Pattinson’s career at all you likely thought the same thing) because he just didn’t fit the character. So why is it that he seems to work so well? I think that it’s because Matt […]
The Hollywood Reporter released a video that showed Robert Pattinson in what I think it’s safe to assume is the Batman costume from Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie. I took a screenshot from the video and lightened it and…what I could make out doesn’t look great. It feels very ‘Daredevil,’ not the Netflix series but the […]
There a story on Superherohype where Ben Affleck says that the portrayal of Batman in Warner Bros/DC Films upcoming Justice League would be a more ‘traditional’ portrayal of the character. What!? The fact that Affleck has to tell viewers this is indicative of perhaps the greatest problem the DCEU has (yet) to overcome: namely a […]
I don’t consider myself to be a cynical person, nor am I prone to conspiratorial thinking–though the ‘Single-bullet theory’ is so nonsensical you’d have to be an idiot to take it seriously–so, while I avoid looking at the world through rose-colored lenses, things aren’t all gloom and doom either. So, when I heard that Zach […]
Ben Affleck originally planned to star, write (with Geoff Johns) and direct a solo Batman movie for Warner Bros and DC Entertainment though he eventually decided to step down from the latter (it’s believed that he did so because Warner Bros was insistent that he make a 2018 release date, which he felt he could […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck will no longer be directing the tentatively titled The Batman for Warner Bros, though he still intends to star (and probably write with Geoff Johns) the upcoming feature. Part of me wonders if Affleck’s change of heart has anything to do with his latest feature, Live By Night […]
What? You thought Bane deserved all the credit? In the past few months Warner Bros has been on a charm offensive, as far as the movies of their DC Extended Universe go, but I’m not buying it. Another thing I’m not buying are those people who claim that what is preported to be a lighter […]
What is it with Matt Damon and comments and/or activities of a racially-dubious nature? First there were the comments made during his and Ben Affleck’s HBO series–now cancelled–Project Greenlight, where Damon finds diversity okay, as long as it’s in its place. If I recall, that happened sometime last year (or earlier this year). Now Damon […]
If you haven’t seen the trailer for Gavin O’Connor’s (Warrior) The Accountant, it revolves around Christian Wolfe (Ben Affleck) who’s a savant that if the flashbacks are any indication, and ranks relatively high on the autism scale. And it looks like an interesting idea for a movie, that is if you haven’t seen 2014’s The […]
The only problem with this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live is that it runs a bit long, hitting viewers over the head with something that would have worked much better with a lighter touch. That being said, Kimmel brings up a good point, namely who doesn’t wonder when watching movies like Man Of Steel, when […]
