Or the Keaton is Gordon and Simmons is Wayne and Affleck is... Barbara?!!! (joking)

That citation of Harvey Dent begs the question of whether the Schumacker Batverse is the same as the Burton-verse though. But I take your point.
Yes. Yes they are doing a Flashpoint of sorts. What’s funny is that DC’s been planning to do Flash Multiverse stuff for much longer than anything came together for Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which prior Spiders-Men returned (Tobey & Andrew) thanks to sort of last-minute agreements. DC has been planning multiverse…
Yeah, that was my first thought too. I was under the impression that Batgirl took place in the Burton/Keaton verse (ignoring subsequent Schumacker films) in which Pat Hingle had played Gordon. I had assumed this Barbara Gordon would be Hingle’s Jim Gordon’s daughter.
It’s not even the first movie to move the Batcave beneath an in-city Wayne location: Dark Knight put it beneath a shipyard after the destruction of Wayne Manor in the first Nolan film. This idea wasn’t original to the Nolan team either, they clearly drew inspiration for this bunker from the ‘60s’-70s’ comics where…
Such questions have been addressed in various ways in the comics, cartoons, games, and even movies. For instance, Alfred was the original explanation for many of these things (vehicle maintenance, computers, medical stuff, a lot of which has made it into the various movies). Heck retcons have positioned Alfred as a…
Photoshop correct the Spider-Man poster. Then, remove Michael Keaton from the movie. It is too confusing. I’m sorry Sony. But this is the cleanest solution to this confusion.
A wider relevant context is how bad the Maguire/Raimi Spider-Man 3 was (again due to studio interference). It was so bad that it made people not realize how bad the first Garfield/Webb Amazing Spider-Man was, because all that film had to do was be better than the preceding Spider-Man 3. People mistook it being better…
WHICH future are you referring to? Marvel has endless “futures,” and more specifically the X-Men have dozens (hundreds?) of their own. At this point, comics treat any depicted future as only a possible future, to be shaped and shifted depending on the present actions of it characters. They are basically multiverse…
Indiana Jones 5: Curious about where this film will be set. Harrison Ford is 79. If the Crystal Skull took place in 1957 and the main character was 58 at that time, then if the character’s age matches Fords that would put this film set sometime around 1978-80ish. That just seems so far removed from the fighting-Nazis…
What no one is saying to Wright: Chadwick Boseman died of cancer, something he kept secret from everyone. If he were alive today on set with his secret cancer, her mere unvaccinated presence would be an unknowing danger to his compromised immune system. If Fiege/Marvel/Disney want to honor Boseman, raise awareness to…
Animal Farm: So not exactly an announcement or confirmation, as much as a prediction.
Is that DC animated Injustice movie adapting the plot of the game, or more adapting the plot of the comic that was based on the game? Both were good, but that comic series that went with it was ridiculously better than it had any expectation or reason to be.
I have read that the Wachowskis originally wrote the script that the humans were used as computing processors or ram or something, but was deemed by the producers/studio as too complicated for movie audiences and so they changed it to batteries to dumb it down for everyone, even though it makes no sense. I’m sorry, I…
Cannot recommend Animatrix enough. Those episodes were great world building. And the videogames were very exciting in their times.
Question (perhaps an uninformed question) regarding Robert Rodriguez’ “first look” deal with HBO et al: If what he would be pitching would be uses of Warner IP stories, why wouldn’t they already have first (and only) look at these pitches? It’s not like he could pitch a Scooby Doo movie or whatever and they pass and…
“It would be very interesting if Titans **or perhaps another Gotham-focused show** might eventually focus on these Bat-adjacent people.” I have been screaming into my keyboard/screen for years that each of Batman’s sidekicks are FAR more interesting than Bruce Wayne himself; that a series (instead of a movie) would be…
I hope this doesn’t need clarification: “...given that it’s one of the first stories to pick up where the most recent live-action trilogy left off.” But just in case it does: The Lego Star Wars Christmas story was also set after where Rise of Skywalker left off (and then jumped around in time!), but both fun films are…
Black Panther 2: Just have the film take place during the five-year Blip. We already saw Chadwick Boseman [SPOILERS?] turn to dust from Thanos’ snap, so there is already a canonical time period where Wakanda was without a T’Challa, Black Panther and its patriarch. Set the movie then, and show MCU fans another window…
Say what you will about this show, but that is spot-on casting. Dude has all the right attributes to play Crane.
