    James Gunn says he’s open to a ‘Batman Beyond’ film in the future. “I love Batman Beyond. So that’s a great thing for the future. And I think that’s something that originated in animation that could be a good movie.” (via: HOLA! USA/IG)

    What makes it clear that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) is a work of fiction is that the film opens with the CEO of Wayne Enterprises showing concern for his employees.

    If you accept (as you should) that every Batman’s origin story involves young Bruce Wayne seeing a Zorro movie with his parents the night they were killed, then we must accept as canon that Affleck’s Bruce Wayne became Batman because he saw ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE in 1981. RIP, Peter Medak.

    Work For Hire. This is where the publisher buys the story from you. This is common in media tie-in writing. DC Comics hires you to write a Batman story, and they own everything about it. If you create a character in that story and they make a movie about them, you don’t get a dime.

    Rewatching The Crow and Dark City as double feature. I swear to god Alex Proyas should’ve directed a Batman Movie in the 90s. The gothic, grungy, art deco city setting in these two movies would’ve slapped hard for a Batman movie.

    "CLAYFACE." Full review embargoes lift tomorrow but it's good 👍 Old-fashioned mid-budget horror movie with aspirations to a male-POV take on "THE SUBSTANCE" - sure, let's do one of these for every Batman-nemesis if they can be this compact and fun 😁

    In the end, I lost count of how many times she was depowered. Three times? Four? It was as if they were afraid to let the superhero be a superhero. Striking isn't it how you never see that in a Batman film.

    Newcomer Tom Rhys Harries brings a pathos to Clayface that makes you feel sympathy for the killer. A villain from the Batman universe the film was entertaining. Although Mike Flanagan has a co-writing credit, he has distanced himself from the film. You decide . ⚖️🦇 #FilmSky #Shocktober #BodyHorror

    The best movies i have seen in my life for me personally were probably: - Sharknado (all of them) because of their absurdity. It's something to laugh at, and they do not aspire to be anything else, which is something we all need from time to time, while it is seldom provided. Honorable mention for anything Monty Python. - Nolan's Batman movies, because they capture the atmosphere Batman Movies deserve perfectly (I am not a fan of his later stuff tho.
