Mark Hamill has been known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy. However, he has also been synonymous with the voice of the Joker as he rendered his vocal talents to the DC villain in Batman: The Animated Series and other films and shows of the Dcau. Hamill was also nominated for Annie Awards for the show and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
Hamill also played the role in one of the finest Batman films of all time. He reprised the role in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which has been regarded as one of the best animated Batman films of all time. Hamill’s Joker was a secondary villain in the controversial film and the actor was reportedly grateful that the character was positioned that way.

Jonathan Nolan, the co-writer of The Dark Knight trilogy, recently expressed his interest in revisiting the franchise and doing a fourth movie.
For years, the Christopher Nolan-directed trilogy has been beloved by my fans with the second film considered to be one of the best comic book movies of all time and changed the genre forever.
While the people involved in the trilogy have seemingly moved on from the franchise, some fans are still wondering whether they will revisit that Batman universe once again in the future.

For years, fans have been debating over the politics incorporated in Christopher Nolan’s films, especially in his universally acclaimed The Dark Knight trilogy. Many have argued that the themes explored in the acclaimed trilogy are a bit more right-leaning, especially the threequel The Dark Knight Rises is considered to be the most political of them all.
However, according to the man himself, The Dark Knight trilogy is not supposed to be political but about the upending of society. But not everyone is convinced by the Oscar-winner’s explanation.

Robert Pattinson is the most recent star to embody the character in The Batman. He’s going to reprise the role for a forthcoming sequel, which is currently in the works.
However, there’s another Batman movie in development called Batman: The Bold and the Brave. It is set to fit into the DC film universe that James Gunn is kickstarting with his new Superman movie.

Ben Affleck has donned a lot of roles throughout his spectacular career as an actor in the entertainment industry. This includes superhero roles in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the DC Extended Universe. But despite being such a tremendous actor with a versatile range, working in the superhero genre didn’t quite seem to work out for him the way it should have.

Nonetheless, recent reports from an industry insider are claiming that the MCU is, once again, reportedly in talks with Affleck for a mystery role. However, while these reports may leave those fans of his who have been waiting so long to see him don a costume once again hopeful, the 51-year-old mastermind’s past comments on superhero films are more than enough to crash that hope.

Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament is back. While studios during Covid wildly embraced the theatrical day-and-date model when cinemas were closed, they soon realized there’s nothing more profitable than a theatrical release and the downstreams that come with it. If anything, theatrical is the advertisement for a movie’s longevity in subsequent home entertainment windows. Entering the conversation in 2023 were the streamers, such as Apple, who have also realized the necessity of theatrical to eventize their movies. The financial data pulled together here for Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament is culled by seasoned and trusted sources.

It’s been a phase to forget for superhero movies across the board. DC Extended Universe could not sustain itself, drawing the franchise to an early end. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going through a lean patch that they don’t have any idea how to deal with.
Some call it superhero fatigue, some lousy writing. The real answer might be a cocktail of both extremes. But in this dry run for superhero flicks, the aficionados of the genre have something to be elated about – the Dark Knight universe might be set to make a comeback.

Anyone who knows anything about the DC’s Dark Knight will probably tell you that Batman is more authentic to the personality of the character than Bruce Wayne. While they might appear to be one and the same person, Batman has repeatedly said that Bruce Wayne is the performance he puts up for society, while Batman is the persona that he identifies with as his authentic self.

To play Batman, actors must understand this fundamental aspect of the character. Be it in live-action or in animation, actors who are able to discern this end up playing the character to perfection, as was the case with Kevin Conroy, who has essayed the role of the Dark Knight for more than two decades across mediums.

Spider-Man 4 rumors are running wild, but the potential involvement of Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan has to be the craziest of them all. The film has already been through a number of plausible directors, but none seem to fit the requirements of either Sony or Marvel. One industry insider took the time to call out the false information about Spider-Man 4 directors, and he debunked the theories about four famous filmmakers.
Some wild speculations are circulating online about the director of the next Spider-Man project after No Way Home
Finding a replacement for Jon Watts, who directed the first three movies, hasn’t been easy. Both Marvel and Sony look to create a phenomenal film that could outperform the box office of Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, their visions for the fourth film are very different.

The novelty of Christian Bale’s performance as the murderous and psychopathic Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is his inherent lust for murder. The cruel intentions that he keeps at bay despite the absolute façade of normality of his mask make his role even more seductive to the audience. However, the film was not the original piece of art from where the idea of Bateman was born.
Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman [Credit: Lionsgate Films]Originating from Robert Bloch’s 1959 novel Psycho featuring Norman Bates and adapted into a film of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960, Bret Easton Ellis’ novel is not a far throw from the mid-20th century author’s work. Ellis’ American Psycho is a more capitalist take on the classical psychopath against the backdrop of a modern world.

What is the best trilogy of all time? Fans might immediately jump to George Lucas' original "Star Wars" trilogy or maybe Christopher Nolan's more recent Dark Knight trilogy. The more prestige audiences might pull out "The Godfather" trilogy, even if the final chapter doesn't match up to the quality of the first two installments (especially since Francis Ford Coppola revisited them with a superior cut of the final chapter). The indie crowd may put forth Richard Linklater's "Before" trilogy with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy's evolving love story. But honestly, there's really only one answer that makes sense.
Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is the greatest motion picture trilogy of all time. An incredible feat of blockbuster filmmaking and a box office phenomenon, all three movies were shot back-to-back in one of the biggest risks ever taken by a Hollywood studio on a largely untested filmmaker.

Fans speculated that there was tension between Tom Hardy and Shia Labeouf during the filming of Lawless, a sentiment echoed by the director who sensed something was off. However, despite these rumors, the 2012 film was a success and received strong reviews. Years later, in a 2019 interview with Sean Evans, while munching down some pretty hot wings, Shia Labeouf finally revealed the truth about what happened behind the scenes. Tom Hardy’s sweet words towards his co-star also squashed the beef even further.

The comic book universe is vast and diverse, with several characters who have caught the attention of audiences for a variety of reasons. Among these many iconic figures stand the two DC characters, Superman and Batman. One is a selfless and noble hero, the other is a vigilante yet both have left an indelible mark on popular culture.

While both characters have enjoyed an alluring appeal and draw ever since they first came into existence, Batman has undoubtedly been the most popular of the two. And Christopher Nolan, the filmmaker behind one of the best Batman trilogy so far, offered his perspective on why the Dark Knight’s mythos is so timeless.

The inherent darkness surrounding Bruce Wayne is one of the most obvious reasons why fans love Batman. And Zack Snyder exploited that trait to the fullest during his tenure at DC.

Batman is so very different from Superman but the character needs to maintain God-like prowess to level up with Superman (who is equivalent to God for humankind) and other heroes infused with superpowers.

Nicolas Cage has showcased through his extreme performances that he can embody just about any character, be it a hero or a villain, as efficiently and intensely as possible. That said, it’s worth noticing that while his remarkable acting skills have also granted him the golden ticket into two of the biggest franchises in Hollywood, he has only been cast in heroic and anti-heroic roles.

While he has absolutely nailed it as all of those characters, the truth is that Cage actually wants to play one forgotten nemesis of Batman who has only ever been played by the late Vincent Price in the late 1960s: Egghead. What’s more, he wants to play the character in Matt Reeves’ franchise of the Dark Knight, and has let his feelings known to Warner Bros. about the same as well!

When it comes to the character of Spider-Man, we’ve seen it all from Sam Raimi’s iconic trilogy, the MCU’s more tech-heavy and modern trilogy, some stunning animated Miles Morales films, and even a catalogue of disappointing spin-offs which follow villains like Venom and Morbius. Even Madame Web delivered yet another mediocre spin-off film in Sony’s ongoing attempt to give us Spider-Man movies that don’t feature Spider-Man. But tucked away in the depths of the Spider-Verse is Marc Webb’s 2012 reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man. A film that was released just 5 years after Raimi’s disappointing third installment of the Tobey Maguire era and was marketed to be the untold story of Peter Parker and capture the darker elements of the character and his origins. This, of course is hot off the success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and Dark Knight films which had added a...

Debuted in May 1939, the “Dark Knight” soon took on a coveted status as the “Caped Crusader” of Detective Comics aka DC. Ever since the character has become a central member of the Justice League and appeared in several editions and adaptations with several big-list names helming the live-action version. However, of the many such actors, Kevin Conroy comes off as arguably one of the most cherished ones to play Batman across several performances.
Featuring a distinctive voice, the late American actor has appeared in more than a staggering fifteen movies, close to four hundred television episodes, and even reprised his role in about twenty-four video games. An icon in his arena, Conroy’s iterations of Batman have become synonymous with the gritty and strong tone of speech associated with the character, and here are five of his most memorable such outings.

On the heels of Batman: The Animated Series, a new Dark Knight saga was born out of the pure desperation of a Warner Bros. studio executive. Now, Batman Beyond has become a classic in its own right, forfeiting not only the iconic origin story but also evolving beyond the limitations of what was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane in the technologically inept era of 1939.
Batman Beyond [Credit: Warner Bros. Television Animation]However, creator Bruce Timm quickly realized the burden of undertaking such a task that entailed coming up with an irrefutable version of the legendary DC IP. He needed to be respectable enough to the Batman lore while also inventing a completely original story that didn’t sink his reputation and career for daring to do something that no one wanted, i.e. debut a futuristic cyberpunk Batman.

While hardcore fans of comic book films believe that Bale’s version of the hero was iconic, they also believe the 1993 animated feature of the character titled Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was even greater.
Since this film received so much love after its release in the ’90s, people cannot deny its legacy and mark in history.

Video game developer Todd Howard has been looking forward to a cinematic adaptation of the game Fallout for over fifteen years. The developer reportedly thought of Jonathan Nolan after seeing his work on The Dark Knight and wished for him to adapt the beloved video game franchise to TV. His wish came true, as Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout recently began streaming.
Fallout is another video game adaptation that is getting positive reviews like last year’s Pedro Pascal starrer, The Last of Us. Howard mentioned that he loved The Last of Us as a game too, and had immediately thought how it would be as a movie. However, with Fallout, the team had to go in a different direction than the games as it was an open-world video game.

The past year has been a major one for Christopher Nolan. The popularity of the director’s historical epic, Oppenheimer, blew up in a major way (pun intended). Not only did it have the strength of Nolan’s reputation, but the seemingly unintentional scheduling that paired its release with another anticipated summer film, Barbie, created a whole other level of recognition for it. Then, the film would achieve an amazing feat for Nolan where it would sweep a number of categories at this year’s Academy Awards.
Deadline now reveals that one of Nolan’s past blockbusters will be returning to theaters in celebration of its 10-year anniversary. At Paramount’s panel during this year’s CinemaCon, the studio revealed as part of their upcoming slate that Interstellar will be traveling back into cinemas along with IMAX and 70Mm prints.

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy is undoubtedly one of the greatest superhero movies ever starring Christian Bale as Batman in the chronicle of the titular Gotham hero. However, the trilogy was almost left incomplete as Nolan had no plans to move beyond the 2005 hit Batman Begins.

More than half of Batman Begins was based on the mythos of Batman’s origin and how he turned into Batman. For Nolan, the movie was the end of his tenure at DC without ever thinking of extending the franchise with the later installments.

Fans of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy may have noticed some similarities with Michael Mann’s Heat, an urban crime film starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Both the director and his brother, Jonathan Nolan, admitted getting some inspiration from the classic 1995 movie.

Avid viewers may have noticed the parallels between The Dark Knight and Heat, mostly in the grounded storylines and the love for urban landscapes. Evidently, as a master of the craft, Mann greatly influenced the Nolan brothers.

Younger comic-book fans might be surprised to learn that there was once a time when Marvel Comics was on its last legs and willing to do anything to keep the company afloat. Before underdog blockbusters like the X-Men and Blade films put Marvel heroes back on the map, they were desperately trying to experiment with their comics in order to attract a wider audience.
One such experiment was the Marvel Knights imprint, a collection of stand-alone stories that initially focused on less-marketable heroes and gave artists free-reign to tell unique and more adult-oriented stories unshackled by decades of garbled continuity issues. While these stories didn’t always succeed in revitalizing characters for a new generation (and often contained the worst kind of late-90s/early 2000s edge), they were almost always incredibly stylish and memorable.
That’s why I think it’s very appropriate that Neveldine & Taylor’s film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance...

Before spearheading projects in the DC Universe, James Gunn showcased his distinctive storytelling prowess in the MCU with the Guardians of the Galaxy film series. Starting with the 2014 movie, the filmmaker brought cosmic superheroes to life on the big screen, gradually captivating audiences with their narratives while maintaining a sense of intrigue and blending humor, with a diverse cast of characters.

However, the Guardians of the Galaxy threequel became his last venture in the MCU, as he transitioned to a leading role in the DC Universe. And the meticulous attention he devoted to the film, particularly evident in his use of music, highlights that the studio may never find another eccentric filmmaker like Gunn who can carry the series forward while preserving its distinct energy.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire were the monsters with the mostest at the box office this weekend, as Dev Patel‘s much buzzed-about feature directorial debut Monkey Man and supernatural franchise installment The First Omen both opened behind expectations.
Neither genre film ever had a chance of taking away the No. 1 spot from Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Godzilla x Kong, but had hoped for a bigger slice of the proverbial box office pie. Godzilla, from filmmaker Adam Wingard, is proving to be a significant victory for Josh Grode’s Legendary Pictures on the heels of Dune: Part Two, which is the top-grossing film of the year to date with $660.7 million in global ticket sales through Sunday. And Godzilla is also a big win for Warner Bros. and Legendary’s MonsterVerse series, at a time when many franchises are struggling to remain fresh.

Bale has transformed into Frankenstein for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s sophomore feature “The Bride!” Jessie Buckley stars as the titular bride of Frankenstein, with writer/director Gyllenhaal sharing a first look at the upcoming Warner Bros. film on social media.
“Meet The Bride and Frank,” Gyllenhaal captioned.
In addition to Buckley and Bale, the all-star cast also includes Annette Bening, Penelope Cruz, and Peter Sarsgaard, who is married to Gyllenhaal. The logline for the film reads: “A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself.

The Dcu is set to kick off with the animated show ‘Creature Commandos.’ However, the live-action aspect of this cinematic universe will begin with the release of ‘Superman,’ which both Safran and Gunn consider to be the true start of the Dcu. Several other projects are confirmed to be in development, including ‘The Authority,’ focusing on the team of the same name, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ starring Milly Alcock as Dcu’s Supergirl, and ‘Paradise Lost,’ a TV show centered on Wonder Woman-related lore set on Themyscira.

No matter how many times you watch and rewatch Christopher Nolan’s films, you will find that there’s something that you missed or something more that wasn’t visible at first, which is kind of how the filmmaker’s projects become masterpieces.
But one thing that the audience notices when they watch his films is the fact that throughout his career with so many movies to his name, most of the protagonists in them have a love interest that had passed away in their story.

This has become a running trope in his films over the years, which hasn’t stopped even in his latest films.

For Late Night with the Devil star David Dastmalchian, all roads lead to and from Christopher Nolan.
In 2007, Dastmalchian was a struggling local theater actor in Chicago, and when Nolan’s The Dark Knight set up shop in the Windy City, he went through a circuitous casting process before eventually landing a part in his very first feature film. Dastmalchian played Thomas Schiff, a paranoid schizophrenic and former Arkham Asylum inmate that Heath Ledger’s The Joker disguised as his fellow honor guardsman during their infiltration of Commissioner Loeb’s funeral procession. When gunshots rang out and chaos ensued, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) cornered Schiff in an ambulance and then forcefully interrogated him in another location.
14 years later, as Dastmalchian began to prepare for the role of the charismatic but troubled late-night talk show host Jack Delroy in Cameron and Colin Cairnes’ Late Night with the Devil, his greatest inspiration...

Christian Bale is undeniably one of the most respected actors to ever portray the iconic Batman. His collaboration with director Christopher Nolan in 2005’s Batman Begins launched a gritty and now-legendary trilogy that made over $2 billion worldwide (via The Numbers).
Their version of Batman was serious and dark — quite different from the more playful superhero movies at the time. The Dark Knight from their film series is still seen as a super important movie in the superhero world.

Villeneuve’s first and second films have left untold a lot of story arcs from Frank Herbert’s novel, which fans believe will be completed in his film based on the second book, Dune: Messiah. Interestingly, the film may not happen anytime soon as the visionary director wants to make sure that one condition is met for this threequel film.
