The Best Scene in Batman Begins Comes to Life in an Impressive Group Art Show

Hundreds of bats fly to Batman’s aid as he valiantly tries to save his love from a deadly poison. The two escape in a rooftop Batmobile car chase and the rest is history. This moment from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins is a moment I never want to forget. And now, thanks to a new art…

‘Why Is There Only One Wonder Woman?’

Greetings, my little priority envelopes. I apologize for the spottiness of “Postal Apocalypse” recently, but rest assured I had very good reasons that I’m absolutely not going to tell you about. This week: Whether superheroes truly create their villains, the reason Jurassic World’s dinosaurs didn’t and won’t have feathers, and why Wonder Woman stands alone.…

Dive Deep Into the Making of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy With This Documentary

Is there really any doubt that Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie? Sure, arguments can be made for others but, with his second film, Nolan was able to strike a perfect balance of all things Batman, and thus anchor a legendary trilogy. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight…

Burton’s Batman and Nolan’s Batman Begins Complement Each Other Perfectly

This weekend, a new man dons the famous cape and cowl. To mark the occasion, we decided to go back and see how Keaton and Bale, via Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman and Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman Begins, held up. Spoiler alert—they hold up really, really well. Let’s start with Burton. Watching his Batman again, one…

All of the DC Films Shine In This Cinematic Retrospective

Film editor Miguel Branco has gone and taken most of the films adapted from DC Comic properties, and it makes them all look pretty good together, even if they’re not part of the same cinematic universe. There’s some real clunkers here: Green Lantern, and depending on who you talk to, Man of Steel and Watchman,…

Heath Ledger ‘Completely Ruined’ Christian Bale’s Plans For Batman

While out on publicity for his latest movie, The Knight of Cups, Christian Bale has expressed some second thoughts about his portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman for Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. When interviewed for Yahoo Movies, Bale noted that he didn’t quite capture the extent to which Bruce Wayne was messed up. This isn’t the…

One Of The Bleakest Monologues In Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy Never Made It Into The Films

The very first teaser for Batman Begins had a laser-guided focus: to remind you that this was far from the goofy Batmans of Forever, of Batman & Robin or Batman ‘66. But apparently, its bleak monologuing was even a bit too much for the actual (and plenty grim) movie itself. The 2004 teaser for the…

Walking On The Alien World From Interstellar

You probably recognize Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier from countless movies and TV shows including Game of Thrones, Batman Begins, and most recently Christopher Nolan’s upcoming SciFi epic, Interstellar. We went hiking on it. Ever since seeing Batman Begins for the first time in 2005, I’ve been intrigued by the scene where Bruce Wayne journeyed to the…

Supercut: Morgan Freeman Explains Absolutely Everything

Nobody explains things better than Morgan Freeman. No matter how nonsensical, crazy or profound, everything sounds better when he explains it. We only use 10 percent of our brains? Sure. A mystical prophecy? Makes sense. But just to prove it, here are nearly 40 clips of Freeman explaining stuff. We didn’t quite restrict ourselves to…

Each actor who auditioned for the role of Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins had to do their best Batman while wearing Val Kilmer’s batsuit.

Everything Wrong with Batman Begins

2005 was quite a long time ago! That was back when everyone had an iPod, that was when we knew Android as just being a robot and that was the year that Batman Begins came out. And though Batman Begins certainly was a fantastic movie that kicked off an even more fantastic trilogy, there were…

ABC Family clearly has no idea what Batman is

It’s hard to imagine, given Batman’s popularity and ubiquity over the last 80 years, that someone would not know the basic concept behind the caped crusader. And yet, not only do some people not know what Batman is all about, those people apparently all work in ABC Family’s promo department, which made the above commercial…

Christopher Nolan originally approached Heath Ledger to play Bruce Wayne

Hard to imagine now — but Christopher Nolan’s first conversations with Heath Ledger were actually about playing Batman, not the Joker. But Ledger told Nolan that “he’d never do this kinda film,” according to a talk Nolan gave last night at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. But by the time came that Nolan was…

A lot of the characters we love from science fiction and fantasy learned how to harness their powers and intellect in school: skilled wizards, mad scientists with PhDs in horribleness, carefully trained military officers, mutant superheroes who studied T.H.

‘This isn’t a car’: Brand New Dark Knight Rises Concept Art!

The coolest new vehicle in Christopher Nolan’s new Batman film is probably the new Batplane, which has been renamed simply the Bat. That’s the vehicle that Batman tells Catwoman is not a car, just before he takes to the skies and dodges two missiles, in some of the recent Dark Knight Rises trailers — and…

True Stories of Animal Actors in Science Fiction and Fantasy Movies

You know how they always say that no animals were harmed in the making of a movie? It’s usually true, but that doesn’t mean that the animals didn’t have an interesting time along the way.

The REAL reason Sucker Punch will lose money

Since Sucker Punch failed to conquer the box office, there’s been lots of speculation about why it was a box office failure. Was it too stylized? Was it the reviews?
