As the second superhero blockbuster of the year after The Batman and the MCU’s first film in theaters since Spider-Man: No Way Home , Doctor Strange 2 looks primed to send the MCU fandom into a frenzy. With just under a month until the Multiversal sequel hits the big screen, the film's promotional tour brings new exciting details with every update from the last few weeks.

With The Batman having just released in theaters, the famous Caped Crusader is on everyone’s mind. While Robert Pattinson may have been the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves’ adventure, there’s another actor known for the role who never completely left viewers' minds across the world: Ben Affleck. First seen in Batman v Superman , and most recently seen in Zack Snyder’s Justice League , Affleck quickly became many fans' favorite interpretation of Gotham’s Protector. Sadly, however, his time looks to have come to an end. The actor has spoken out time and time again about how he hasn’t had the best of times with the role, and he's made it clear he wants to leave the role as gracefully as he can. ADVERTISEMENT His last appearance, at least as of now, will be in the upcoming The Flash film. However, thanks to some new rumors, it seems that Affleck may not be completely done with the cowl. Not So Fast, Ben Affleck DC A recent rumor teased that the po...

The Batman recently hit theaters, and it’s been doing very well for itself. The Matt Reeves directed film stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role, with his Dark Knight taking on Paul Dano’s Riddler. Reception has generally been glowing, and fans are anxious to know what may be next. One of the biggest teases the movie had in that regard was the inclusion of Barry Keoghan’s Joker towards the very end of the story. The Joker is a big name, one which has become basically mandatory to include in every Batman adaptation. Recently, a five-minute deleted scene featuring the classic villain in The Batman  was released online. ADVERTISEMENT It’s an exciting watch, no doubt about it—but it may hold something very significant: the first clue as to what The Batman 2 might have in store for audiences.

It seems that Robert Pattinson’s Batman is already set to become an iconic interpretation of the character. There’s a lot to love about this new incarnation of Gotham’s Protector. Whether it’s Pattinson’s brooding Caped Crusader, Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman, or Paul Dano’s Riddler—Reeves’ take seems to have found a winning formula. ADVERTISEMENT One of the most common points of praise of the film is undoubtedly its visuals. The cinematography is excellent, and every frame is a painting. Now the man behind the camera has spoken out about the film - more specifically about the brief closing scene in Arkham Asylum. Obscuring the Joker DC In an interview with The Wrap, The Batman cinematographer Greig Fraser c...

After a tedious and painful wait,  The Batman  has finally hit theaters worldwide. Matt Reeves took the Caped Crusader and crafted an entirely new Gotham for the hero to defend. This time, Robert Pattinson is under the cowl, alongside Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman The two go up against Paul Dano's reign of terror as The Riddler as he seeks to get rid of corruption in Gotham City. While Riddler is the main focus, Colin Ferrell's The Penguin and John Turturro's Carmine Falcone control the city's criminal underbelly. The Dark Knight certainly has plenty of obstacles to face in the new movie. ADVERTISEMENT But the big question now is: what villain will come next? Barry Keoghan's Joker has been rumored for a while, but who does Reeves want in the future spotlight?

The day many DC fans have been waiting for is almost here: the release of  The Batman . The upcoming film will see Robert Pattinson take on the legacy of The Dark Knight as he goes up against Paul Dano's The Riddler, whose crusade against Gotham City's corruption terrorizes the city. Directing is Matt Reeves, who has now been attached since 2017 before the studio even decided who was going to be its Caped Crusader. Most may know Reeves' work on the most recent  Planet of the Apes  trilogy starring Andy Serkis, and the filmmaker also helmed the 2008 horror-found footage movie  Cloverfield . When he was brought aboard the project, many fans were immediately sure he'd be the perfect fit. ADVERTISEMENT Based on early reactions and reviews, it seems that intuition wasn't misplaced. Given how successful  The Batman  is posed to be, can fans of the genre expect to see him take on an MCU film? Sadly, the odds don't look so great. The Bat...

One of the biggest announcements Warner Bros. has made in regards to the DCEU was the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. On top of this, it's set to be the very same character fans watched in his original films. This was all made possible thanks to the Multiverse story in which Ezra Miller's  The Flash  will be telling, one which would bring the old Caped Crusader back into the spotlight. Keaton's return will be far more than just a simple cameo. Not only will he play a major role in the Scarlet Speedster's first solo film, but he is set to return in more projects after that. The first one, at least known to audiences, is  Batgirl . ADVERTISEMENT While his part in the movie's proceedings is unknown, set photos have confirmed that Keaton will be donning the suit once again for Leslie Grace's debut project; likely as her mentor and trainer. Now the actor has taken to social media to tease his much-anticipated return.  Michael Kea...

The comic book movie genre is about to see some major expansion from both Marvel and DC. Warner Bros. is in the final stages of prep for Robert Pattinson's The Batman in theaters, while Marvel Studios is almost ready to release Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight on Disney+. Fans are even enjoying a new look at the latter thanks to the Moon Knight spot that premiered at Super Bowl LVI. Over the years, fans have noticed a number of distinct similarities between the two crimefighters, which hasn't turned out so well for Moon Knight in the public eye. ADVERTISEMENT Bruce Wayne and Marc Spector are both known to be quite wealthy superheroes with killer costumes and a hoard of gadgets that help both of them in their missions - that much is true for each of them. However, with Moon Knight adding its own legacy to the MCU as the franchise's 33rd unique project, Marvel is looking to make sure his individuality shines on Disney+.  With Moon Knight 's de...

The DC Extended Universe will make its long-awaited return to theaters in March 2022 with Matt Reeves' The Batman . Robert Pattinson's new take on the Caped Crusader is set to employ a Year One-style story where he will come face-to-face with a trio of classic villains from DC Comics. Leading the way in that villainous effort will be Paul Dano's Riddler, who remains a mystery even with just a few weeks until his debut. Throughout Warner Bros.' promotional tour for The Batman , fans still haven't gotten an actual shot of Dano's Riddler in footage from the movie itself. The solo movie's synopsis has only minorly teased the villain's presence in the plot, and there are still no signs pointing to how he will come into play alongside Carmine Falcone, the Penguin, and Catwoman. ADVERTISEMENT The best look fans have had at the Riddler is through various promotional posters featuring other heroes and villains along with plenty of ...

Marvel's Iron Man and DC's Batman have many classic traits in common. Both of them are billionaires, superheroes, and orphans whose parents died when they were young. As a result, the similarities between the two often lead to fan debates about who is better. The discussion was further amplified when the MCU and the DCEU launched on the big screen.  The Caped Crusader has been a generational hero, with Gotham's protector being played by iconic actors such as Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, and Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, the live-action Tony Stark is only portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. starting in 2008's Iron Man  and going all the way to 2019's Avengers: Endgame .  ADVERTISEMENT The DCEU is now transitioning into a brand new chapter as it welcomes another actor who is set to play its new iteration of the Dark Knight. This comes with Robert Pattinson set to don the cape and cowl for a fresh new take on Gotham's protector in Matt Ree...

While last year didn’t have much content for DC Comics fans, audiences are eating well in 2022. The Batman is just over a month away and, more currently, James Gunn’s Peacemaker is airing new episodes on HBO Max. Starring John Cena, the show takes the miraculously alive character and puts him right into the spotlight. After the events of The Suicide Squad , the (potentially) former villain has a new lease on life—one that’s almost immediately interrupted by ARGUS, who has a different plan for his future. A new team is formed, led by Chukwudi Iwuji’s Clemson Murn, whose task is to hunt down Butterflies. What exactly does that mean? Well, as of Episode 4, it seems to be referencing people controlled by an alien parasite resembling the aforementioned insect. ADVERTISEMENT One of their first official missions is to assassin a potential group of butterflies; it’s not an ordinary group, however. It’s a senator and his entire family. Not only that, but they h...
