Considering how many times the character has been brought to the big screen, its impressive that Matt Reeves has found a new take on The Batman. Reeves take on the character is one we haven’t seen on screen, “early Batman.” … Continue reading The Batman (2022) Review
To win an Academy Award seems to be the highlight and accolade most actors and actresses vie for. To be recognised by your peers and have “Academy Award Winner” next to your name in trailers and posters can be enough … Continue reading Oscars Month: Careers which didn’t benefit from an Oscar win
The best games that appeal to movie fans are the ones that tell a great narrative in which the player gets to steer that story and make some impact. Until Dawn was a perfect example of this and although they didn’t … Continue reading Games for Movie Fans… Batman: The Telltale Series
It was recently revealed that Ben Affleck will not only Batman in the new Superman vs Batman : Dawn of Justice movie but has also been handed the “keys” to the Batman franchise afterwards, both co-writing and directing the new instalment in … Continue reading Why Hush should be the story for Affleck’s Batman movie
The tv show I’m currently most excited about seeing is Batman prequel, Gotham. The footage, trailers, images, casting and story-ideas I have heard all sound perfect for a show set in and around Gotham City when Bruce Wayne is just … Continue reading What I don’t want to see in Gotham
Sometimes your view of a film can be skewed because of you high expectations, seeing it at the cinema and being caught up in the atmosphere or because everything you are seeing is new and amazing. That is why it’s … Continue reading The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Re-View
I specifically made Batman Year One my 100th Review. It would have been very easy, and obvious, to make The Dark Knight my 100th because it is my favourite film of all time but ever since I heard they were making a cartoon version of Frank Miller’s amazing origin story, I have been desperate to see it. Luckily, in Tesco of all places, there was a five animated Batman film boxset, Batman: Year One being one of those movies. This also shows how far behind I am with my reviews because I’m cheating by reviewing this before the others. I have watched … Continue reading Review 100! – Batman: Year One (2011)
The Dark Knight is my favourite film of all time. It helps that I’m a huge Batman fan, having read the comics since I was a kid and watched the Animated Series when I was younger too. I love Burton’s Batman and felt the pain when Schumacher destroyed the series. I was happy enough when Batman Begins got the series back on track but nothing could prepare me for how amazing Dark Knight was going to be. It wasn’t just a great Batman film or even the best superhero film ever but was just a great film. If it was possible to … Continue reading The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Review
How can a film with all the right ingredients get everything so badly wrong? One of the greatest superheroes (check), two of his greatest villains (check), a decent cast (check), a budget that is more than enough to create a classic (check)! I’ve never written a film or directed a movie but I am a huge Batman fan and believe that if a studio told me to create a Batman film that included The Riddler, Two Face, Robin and Nicole Kidman, I could do a very good job of it. It would feel like half the work is already done for me. … Continue reading Batman Forever (1995) Re-View
Whatever your opinion of Tim Burton, his style fits Batman perfectly. The dark, gothic, whites and blacks that made up Batman Returns gives Gotham, Batman and his villains, Catwoman and Penguin, the perfect look that was much more in line with the comics than anything Joel Schumacher ever did. In fact Tim Burton pretty much got everything spot on with his interpretations of Batman, both the original, with Joker played iconically by Jack Nicholson, and this sequel, where again he cast the two villains perfectly. Ever since Spiderman 3, it has always worried me when a film decides the way to up the … Continue reading Batman Returns (1992) Re-View
