James Gunn is set to introduce a rebooted DC Universe with Creature Commandos this week, but he contemplated beginning the new cinematic universe using the Caped Crusader. Matt Reeves' The Batman operates in its own Elseworld timeline far away from other superheroes, and it has worked wonders to create a grounded, epic crime saga that audiences have fallen in love with. However, it seems DC Studios did in fact think about putting Robert Pattinson's Batman in the Dcu.

While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn talked about the upcoming Dcu and was asked if he originally thought he might have to implement The Batman into the larger cinematic universe. Furthermore, if he has reevaluated his stance on keeping things separate. Gunn teases that he has "contemplated" everything when it comes to the rebooted universe, and Batman is no exception. However, he reassures fans that he is committed to...

Despite DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn’s confirmation that a script for The Batman: Part II hasn’t been finished, one actor from The Batman (2022) has an interesting idea of who could be the villain in writer-director Matt Reeves's follow-up. Jeffrey Wright, who played James Gordon in The Batman told The Movie Dweeb that the son of James Gordon, James Gordon Jr., would make for a great adversary for the caped crusader.

“There’s a lot to choose from,” said Wright when asked which character from the universe he would like to see tangle with Gordon and Batman. “You know, Gordon actually has a son who becomes somewhat nefarious. That could be a possibility,” said The Hunger Games actor. Gordon’s son has never been adapted into a live-action version of Batman.

It seemed as though Wright had thought of the idea before because he said he had “some ideas,...

Jeffrey Wright, who played Commissioner Jim Gordon in Matt Reeves's The Batman, has now provided some insight on the scrapped Gotham Pd series that was once in development for HBO. Set within Reeves's The Batman universe, the series would have centered on a third generation Gotham cop who realizes he's on the wrong side of the law. Boardwalk Empire showrunner and The Sopranos executive producer Terence Winter would have served as the show's main creative lead before the project fell apart back in 2022. During an interview with The Playlist's "Bingeworthy" podcast, Wright confirmed that he was in early talks to have his iteration of Gordon appear in Gotham Pd.

"Yeah, there was a possibility. And then things happen behind the scenes. But Gordon wasnt to have been central to that, which I thought was cool, too. He was going to pop in and out of that."

Winters also previously revealed that,...

One thing that audiences love about movies is the story's villain. Whether they're zany and charismatic or dark and mysterious, many villains have made their way into being pop culture icons fondly remembered for decades.

And one of the most impressive things a villain can do in a story is beat the protagonists. Although it's only on rare occasions, there are several great movies where the bad guy gets away with it in the end.

The Batman actor Barry Keoghan has officially addressed all the whispers about Joker's return in Matt Reeves' superhero universe. James Gunn previously shut down the rumor about Keoghan's Joker getting his own HBO TV spinoff after The Penguin, but the iconic villain is still expected to appear in the epic crime saga at some point. The actor himself has now weighed in on his next potential appearance, and it may make fans queasy about his role in The Batman franchise.

While on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Keoghan was asked about his brief but impressive debut as the Joker in The Batman. As he talked about the importance of the role within the context of previous award-winning performances, he sprinkled some doubt about his next opportunity to play the villain. Although most fans expect him to play a big part in The Batman sequels, it seems Keoghan has yet...

Graham Yost doesn’t want you to read the Silo book series — not yet, at least.

“I usually try and say [that] sitting right next to [author] Hugh Howey,” the Silo showrunner jokes from his office in Carmel, California. “Buy copies of the book, but don’t read them yet.”

Season two of Apple TV’s Silo premiered on Friday, with episodes rolling out weekly until the Jan. 17, 2025 finale. Yost has made no secret of his departure from the source material, pulling whole episodes out of single sentences in Wool, Howey’s first of three books in the Silo series. Howey is an executive producer on the show, and by all accounts, is thoroughly pleased with Yost’s work.

Season one covered the first half of Wool; season two will finish it. The remaining two books are Shift and Dust. “We thought of different structures for season two,...

This article contains Major Spoilers for The Penguin Episode 8, "A Great or Little Thing."

The Penguin's titular villain transcended his previous depictions in film and comics. Now that Season 2 is on the table, a continuing story could revive one of Oz Cobb's unresolved frustrations.

Oz Cobb was more invested in Selina Kyle than The Batman led audiences to believe. Director Matt Reeves said this was Oz's implicit backstory in The Penguin; it also explains the villain's deep motivations. "Oz will never be sated in trying to achieve power, and a thing in the movie which we cut out where Oz clearly had these feelings for Selina," he told THR. "And when he realized she didn't return them, he tells her, 'One day, this city's going to be mine.' And he said it in a very unsettling way." That scene would have made Oz's story more compelling in The Penguin,...

Kitti Katz is another Netflix animated series, this time for teenagers that, with a Catwoman in High School style (as strange as this may sound) will try to win the hearts of the youngest.

We warn you that this is not exactly Disney, and the series must be taken with the perspective of having all the time in the world: it does not stand out for its animation nor the characters come “alive” thanks to the computer, it is more a series that aims to amuse and, mixing youth with new-fangled superheroes, give us entertainment in small pills of twenty minutes.

Which is not bad either.

Kitti Katz (2023)

A simple series, very much in line with the latest animated installments of the streaming network that, without standing out in the technical aspect, comes to, yes, fatten a very important catalog at the production level. And the truth is that these series count a lot,...
