‘The Dark Knight Rises’ – TMI?

Is it just me that is getting a feeling of Too Much Information when it comes to The Dark Knight? I feel like saying to director Chris Nolan, “Don’t show us this, don’t tell us that,” because I feel like I know pretty much everything that is going to be in The Dark Knight. Nolan...

Clooney: ‘Batman & Robin’ “Was Sh*t”

Batman & Robin was a truly terrible movie. We all know this. However, as Marvel has stated, it was also an important movie for the comic book genre. Because it was so bad, it meant a new approach was sought; a new approach which has since given us a plethora of great movies such as...

Batman Being Rebooted Again After Nolan Wraps ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

All comic book movie franchises get rebooted eventually; it’s just the way things have to be. However, it’s rare to hear a reboot being planned in advance of a movie being produced and released in the current series.

Nolan Talks ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

I was relieved when Chris Nolan announced he was revisiting the Batman universe one last time to create The Dark Knight Rises, the third and final film in his trilogy. After The Dark Knight dominated the box office so totally, and Heath Ledger passed away after playing the Joker, I wasn’t sure he’d have it...

Bale Talks Approach To Playing Batman

With The Dark Knight Rises coming together, the last part of the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale is drawing to a close. Sadly.

No Eckhart In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

The ending of The Dark Knight left the door slightly open for the character of Two-Face, played by Aaron Eckhart, to come back in any further films. He probably died, but you never knew for sure. Except we now can be pretty sure that he is indeed dead as a doornail. There has been lots...

Speaking to MTV Movies a couple of weeks ago, Christian Bale intimated that The Dark Knight Rises (Batman 3) was going to be his and Nolan’s final Batman movie.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ To Be Bale and Nolan’s Last Batman Movie… Probably

To suggest The Dark Knight Rises, otherwise known as Batman 3, is highly anticipated would be doing the movie an injustice. After the glory of The Dark Knight, the highest-grossing film at the box office until Avatar stole its crown, people want more. Thankfully for the sanity of the masses, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, and...

DiCaprio On Almost Being Batman’s Robin & Star Wars’ Anakin

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best actors currently working in Hollywood. In fact, he’s probably one of the best actors of all time. Most of his movies are class acts, and his performances in them tend to lift the movies up a few places. One of the things that seems to dictate DiCaprio’s career...

Finally, some news about Batman 3 from the person in charge. Since the release of the phenomenally successful The Dark Knight in 2008, everyone has wanted there to be a third movie made, and for it to turn up sooner rather than later. But apart from the odd reference here and there, nothing. Until earlier...

Marvel: Batman & Robin “Most Important Comic Book Movie Ever”

What would you regard as being the most important comic book movies ever made? The original Superman and The Dark Knight immediately spring to my mind, with the former inventing the genre and the second taking it beyond the mainstream. However, the top bods at Marvel have a different opinion on the matter. In a...
