Yep, there you go gang. It’s the hot off the presses new logo for the upcoming Batman/Superman movie. Or, as we now know it’s going to be titled, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Of course, the subtitle really just leads to further speculation that the movie is going to...   read more

(click to enlarge) Whew! Finished reimagining the Nolan Batman trilogy as silent films. Here is the movie that started it all. John Gilbert is Batman, of course, and the director for all three films will be Paul Leni. Leni had a flair for dark material but he also knew how...   read more

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Jennifer Reynolds on August 31, 2013

Batman: The Movie is now available for streaming on Netflix. With the announcement last week that Ben Affleck would be donning the cowl in 2015’s Batman Vs. Superman, the Internet reacted as the Internet is wont to do: doctored images, bad jokes about Boston accents, rants as far as the...   read more

The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on July 30, 2013

One of the bigger stories coming out of Comic Con, though as per usual dwarfed by Marvel Studios’ slew of announcements, were the announcements by DC about the trajectory of their film universe as it pertains to their superhero properties. There is the biggest being the Batman/Superman team-up   read more

One of the most famous images from the 1960s Batman show is of the Dark, Groovy Knight and his Boy Wonder slowly climbing up the outside of a building, trading cheesy lines as they prepare to surprise the villain of the week. On several episodes, a celebrity would pop out...   read more

Though Batman may be the last word to come to mind when you think of classic Hollywood movie stars, the goofy, groovy show of the 1960s was a Mecca for seasoned silver screen performers. Here the old-time movie stars could cut loose and camp it up as outrageous and colorful...   read more

The Stop Button Posted by on December 25, 2008

Batman‘s an odd success. It has almost constant problems–Kim Basinger’s bad, Jack Nicholson’s phoning it in (but never contemptuous of the material, which makes it a peculiar performance) and the movie never really finishes the story it starts in the first act–but it&#   read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on November 30, -0001

And now Batman is back to the misleading chapter titles. There aren’t spies in Flying Spies, there’s only one spy on the plane. After the laziest cliffhanger resolution in the series so far–and there have been some lazy ones–Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft take a break from c   read more
