We know very little for sure about Batman’s role in the movie besides the rumors, but with filming currently in progress in the UK, we’re starting to get a sense of what Keaton’s return will look like. Already, we’ve learned that his Wayne Manor will look a lot like Bruce’s Gothic home in Tim Burton’s Batman. But of course what we really want to see is Keaton back in the suit, a bright yellow Bat symbol shining bright on his chest....

One thing to consider right out of the gate, even though the dreary London location makes it kind of feel like Gotham City, other set photos floating around make it clear that this is Flash’s home of Central City, so don’t get any ideas in that regard. But really, that’s not even the fun stuff. Let’s get going… Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne First up, we have what appears to be a major scene on the steps of what might be a courthouse, with Miller’s Barry Allen seemingly addressing reporters....

Of course, we first met Fuerza in all her rampaging glory much earlier in the season, and her notoriety was complete when she killed poor Abra Kadabra. But since then, amidst Team Flash’s ongoing quest for the other forces that have been unleashed, we’ve learned a little bit more about the host of the Strength Force, Alexa Rivera played by Sara Garcia. Alexa has been played as a sympathetic character, a former drug addict who has become a health care professional in order to help those in need and help make up for the perceived sins of her past....

Who was John Brown, really? A hero or a madman? A visionary as divinely driven as Moses in the Good Book, or a bloodthirsty zealot who participated in murderous acts of terrorism? It’s a big question that’s pestered American history for centuries, and even Brown’s lifetime. As Showtime’s new series The Good Lord Bird reminds folks in its first episode, before his failed raid on Harper’s Ferry escalated tensions to a fever pitch in the prelude to the Civil War, Brown was one of the most celebrated (or notorious) roustabouts in the Kansas territory during its “bleeding....

If you went all the way to the other end of the list, and if you were including every Bond film ever made, not just the Eon Productions movies, you’d be likely to run into the name Casino Royale again. But this Casino Royale is not the gritty, hard-bitten, streamlined Bond of the 2006 picture. This movie, released in 1967, is, well, an artifact. A weirdness. It is loathed by purist fans, partly because the film itself was an utter catastrophe and partly because it put the breaks on any attempt at an Eon version of the first Bond novel for 40 years....

Well, the team writer-director David Lowery assembled for his and A24’s The Green Knight understand Sir Gawain intimately. It’s there in the first scene when the alliterative prose from the 14th century poem is quoted near verbatim. And yet, by juxtaposing these words next to Dev Patel’s yet-to-be-knighted Gawain sitting on the throne of Camelot, stoic in all his kingly majesty, Lowery and company signal they’re doing more than just repeating an oft-told yarn....

If the teasers for Cobra Kai Season 4, which ominously tout Silver’s return—made 32 years later by Thomas Ian Griffith—left you in need of context regarding its importance, you were hardly alone. After all, the film, in which Silver served as main villain, was a dud, and the least-watched of the original Karate Kid Trilogy. One could fault that failure to a hopeless summer 1989 box office battle against iconic competition from Batman and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and momentum drained by lingering money-makers Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Ghostbusters II....

“And you know what?” Dafoe says with a wide grin. “I’ve been wildly lucky in that I’ve known very few assholes in the 40 years I’ve been working.” Perhaps that’s why everyone now wants to work with him. At 64 years of age, Dafoe has appeared in nearly every genre from comedy to horror, high drama to a superhero movie or two. And after earning four Academy Award nominations, his reputation precedes him....

The Magicians Season 3 Episode 12 This is as close to a happy ending as The Magicians has ever had, and it’s no coincidence that it comes right before the finale, lulling viewers into complacency before the door at the end of the world is opened, unleashing gods-know-what. Nevertheless, with Quentin, Julia, Margo, and even Josh all ending up stronger by the end of this episode, although “The Fillorian Candidate” is not devoid of heartache for people like Kady and Quentin’s father, it’s an overall win as a very clear road now lies ahead for the final key and the return of magic....

Fan theories are running rampant as we approach the finale of The Mandalorian. Which Jedi heard Grogu’s call at the seeing stone on Tython? The better question perhaps is: does it really matter when there’s no way Disney will break up the core relationship of the show? That said, with someone surely having heard Grogu’s call and dead characters tending to come back to life in Star Wars, the latest Jedi theory suggests that it’s Mace Windu (Samuel L....

Alan Taylor, the director of The Many Saints of Newark, comes full circle in the wet work he’s done for The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Rome, and other HBO murderfests. After almost two hours with the central figure of the film, Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), he meets a gangster’s death. We know it’s coming from the beginning. It’s one of the first things his son, Christopher Moltisanti says about his dad in the film’s opening voiceover....

Hobart Brown of Earth-138 is Spider-Punk and coming this April, he’s finally going to be starring in his own book. Writer Cody Ziglar and artist Justin Mason will be doing five issues of a Spider-Punk mini-series for Marvel. So far the anarchist arachnid has taken on authoritative overlord incarnations of the Green Goblin, Vulture, and Kang the Conqueror. He’s teamed up with his spider-brethren several times over, but now we’ll get a more focused look on him and his dystopian world....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 5 There’s a lot of looking back in this week’s episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, which is appropriately titled: “Reflections.” The first subplot is rife with suspicion, involving Ensign Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) who, after a routine purge of his implant’s memory cache starts to experience problems with a suppressed personality and memories that suggest that the lovable and happy-go-lucky Rutherford isn’t exactly the person we all thought he once was....

But let’s back up a few years. Throughout the 1970s, Lloyd Kaufman worked in a variety of capacities on dozens of films, from small acting roles to being Rocky’s pre-production manager and the locations manager on Saturday Night Fever. At the same time, he formed a scrubby little New York-based production house, 15th Street Films, with Oliver Stone. But after Stone left to make his own mark as an auteur with films like The Hand, and after what was thought to be a sure-fire hit (Schwartz: The Brave Detective) turned out to be a box office nightmare in 1973, 15th Street quickly sank without a trace....

The trend of remastering old footage is growing because the viewers are demanding 2K, 4K, 4K UHD, and 8K videos over conventional 720P or SD videos. The demand has also grown due to the easy access if high-speed internet and affordable HD displays. Moreover, online video streaming platforms have set the trend of high-resolution videos that do not show any sign of reversing the trend. On top of that, private and personal video archive owners want to capture the full details of their old 35 mm films for long-term preservation....

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 1 Growing up is never easy, but growing up in a world where safety is clustering behind walls with a few hundred other people and visiting the next town over might involve a helicopter trip or a dangerous days-long trek through walker-infested wilderness is something else entirely. It’s been a decade since the Night the Sky Fell on The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and since then, Iris (Aliyah Royale) and her sister Hope (Alexa Mansour) have grown up in the relative safety and normalcy of the Campus Colony, formerly Nebraska State University....

Don’t worry. Waititi knows it’s kind of a wild idea: “What I wanted to do from the beginning was to ask: ‘What are people expecting the least from this franchise?’ Oh, I know – a full-blown love story!” Waititi told Wired earlier this week. The Kiwi director, who also helmed Ragnarok, has never been one to do the expected. Waititi (who didn’t write the script for Ragnarok) co-wrote the script for Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who seems like the perfect teammate for Waititi....

Join the Den of Geek Book Club! Top New Horror Books in December 2020 The Blade Between by Sam J Miller Type: NovelPublisher: Ecco Press Release date: December 1 Den of Geek says: The mixing of modern concerns (gentrification, commercialisation) with ancient spirits is an appealing concept for a novel which sounds like not a haunted house story, but a whole haunted city. Sam J. Miller grew up in Hudson, where the story is set so this is likely to be a personal piece – he’s won several awards for his writing so we’d expect good things....

Star Wars: Ronin Type: Novel Publisher: Del ReyRelease date: Oct. 12Den of Geek says: Candon’s debut novel brings Star Wars into a new dimension with an expansion on the short anime episode “The Duel” in Star Wars: Visions. Taking place as if one step aside from the universe we know and love, it’s an inventive and thoughtful story that also never forgets the initial concept: that a samurai Sith is very cool....
