Opinion: 5 Comic Book Characters That Tom Hanks Can Play
Back in 2013, Tom Hanks said in an interview that he wants to get a role in a comic book movie. Five years later, and that has yet to happen. Because of this, I need to ask something. Why, and how? It’s not like Hanks is an unknown D-list actor coming out of nowhere. Because of this, an editorial has to be made to get the word out. Tom Hanks needs to be in a comic book movie. So, we have five ideas. 5. Batman/Thomas WayneWhen I first heard Hanks say that he wanted to play Batman, I first laughed a little considering it felt no way that would work,…

Shane West Joins GOTHAM Season 5 in Villainous Role
Gotham seems to be a show that you either love or hate. Everywhere, from YouTube to social media, the only reactions to the show I see is either “this is the best show ever” or “I hate this ….. show.” I’ve yet to find anyone that seems to be in the middle with its taste. Anyway, with it gearing up to its final season, Gotham seems to have added yet another villain to its roster. Enter Shane West, who, according to Deadline, is playing Eduardo Dorrance which is an old war buddy of Jim Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie.). Any big fan of Batman lore more than likely recognizes that…

Don’t Expect the Dark Knight to Appear in the BATWOMAN Series
The Batwoman series will be the first time we visit Gotham City on The CW. With Batwoman having a strong connection to Batman, many have wondered if the Caped Crusader would finally appear on television. Well, we finally know the answer to that question. After Oliver Queen’s name drop in Arrow season six this might be the only chance for a Batman cameo of some sort. During the Television Critics Association press tour, CW president Mark Pedowitz said: Batman already exists in the Arrowverse, Batwoman lives in Gotham but there are no plans at this time to have Batman appear. It’s worth pointing out that Pedowitz said that “there are no…

OPINION: 3 Reasons Why Doomsday Clock Is One Of DC Comics’ Greats After Only 6 Issues
So far, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, have delivered something once thought impossible: Something close in greatness to the original Watchmen comic in Doomsday Clock (and we’re only halfway done). I won’t insult the massive amount of people whom believe that Watchmen walks on water, but at the same time, the duo which given us such classics in Action Comics, Batman: Earth One, and more, are delivering something that is wholly unique, and combining two universes which have no right to be together. You know, like, me and Scotch on a lonely Friday night. Here Are Three Reasons That Doomsday Clock Might Be One Of The Greatest Comics Ever At…

THE BATMAN Reportedly Taking Influence from YEAR ONE, Plus a Production Update
We’ve heard a lot about The Batman in various rumors and reports from other sites, but very little directly from Warner Bros. or DC. Matt Reeves has been writing away, while Ben Affleck is looking increasingly unlikely to reprise the role. Now, a new report sheds some light on Reeves’ approach to the film, as well as when we can expect production to begin. According to our friend Mario at Revenge of the Fans, The Batman will “bear a resemblance” to Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One. (Think of how Batman v Superman had some influence from The Dark Knight Returns.) It’s unknown exactly how much of the original comic will…

REVIEW: BATMAN VS. TWO-FACE
The Adam West Batman series ranks among my favorite Batman outings. I understand why many people prefer the more serious takes on Bruce Wayne, but I’ve always loved the fun rock’em sock’em good time of Batman ’66. When DC announced the animated revival, I was pumped. And that film was plenty amazing. But then they had to go and announce a sequel. And not just any sequel, but a sequel with WILLIAM FREAKIN’ SHATNER as Harvey Dent/Two-Face. Heck YEAH I was pumped for that. And guess what: the movie delivers. Adam West’s final appearance excels as a statement of what it means to be a hero and a swan song…

Retrospective: THE DARK KNIGHT – 10 Years Later
Batman, a character that has changed a lot over the years, especially in film. From his serial in the 1940s to his film series in the 1980s. Batman has always been a part of pop culture. There have always been different versions of the Caped Crusader, so how does one create his own spin on the character? That’s what director Christopher Nolan did with The Dark Knight Trilogy. Let’s look back at one of the greatest superhero films ever made, The Dark Knight. It’s amazing that after Batman Begins, an astonishing film in its own right, Nolan was able to elevate the genre. Crafting a sequel that felt like a roller coaster…
