An Ode to Superhero Movies
I’ve wanted to reflect on the current state of superhero movies for a while now. It seems like it’s easy to forget that as little as 15 years ago, we were still without an ‘X-Men’ film—let alone a full suite of Marvel spin-off features. We were still contending with Batman & Robin; you could be forgiven for thinking maybe Hollywood would never get a decent super-flick to surpass 70s-epic ‘Superman’ or Tim Burton’s 1989 ‘Batman’ for sheer overarching quality. Turns out, it was just a matter of...
Citizens of Gotham: Have You Seen This Batman?
With all the big movies like The Avengers and Prometheus releasing and coming up, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture - that picture that includes The Dark Knight Rises. You may have heard the news that the third trailer will air in front of The Avengers when it releases in the US on May 4. We in Australia will more than likely be able to have a look not long after that, so Batfans, it's time to get re-excited. In the meantime, the fiendish viral marketers over at The Batcave have...
The Wrong Batman
See what happens when Christopher Nolan's Batman from Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Returns turns up to a children's birthday party. Hilarity ensues. Parents - you have to be more specific when you order comic book 'mascots' for your children's festivities. Although - even though this IS hilariously awkward, one wonders what it might have been like with Adam West's Batman. Maybe not hilarious awkward, just... you know... awkward. That...
A Second The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Rises - The Result - Meh?
The second The Dark Knight Rises Trailer is now up and we've got it for you to have a look at. With all the hype that blossomed with the leak of the trailer and the first six minute prologue of the actual film earlier this week, it's not surprising that the internet is losing its collective banana with the official release. In the trailer, we get a good look at Tom Hardy as Bane, and have some insights into the plot of the film. We also have our first sustained peek at Anne Hathaway as...
Great Fan-Made The Dark Knight Rises Poster
The Dark Knight Rises will release worldwide in July of 2012. In Australia, it's currently scheduled for release on July 19. The official hype has been slow and deliberate, but the unofficial hype for the final installment in Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale's Batman territory has been blistering. You can practically watch the whole movie from unsanctioned youtube video taken from the set. We prefer, however, to focus on less destructive fan enthusiasm for what is one of our most anticipated...
First Pic of Tom Hardy as Bane: The Dark Foe Rises
Thanks to Collider, we've picked up on the fact that www.thedarkknightrises.com, the official site for the upcoming Batman movie is now live, and one of the first things posted there is this tremendous pic of the next Mad Max, Tom Hardy, as Bane, the villain of the piece. The Dark Knight Rises will be out in July of 2012. But that's no reason not to get excited. With all the super hero movies out now (and coming soon) it's easy to forget that The Dark Knight was the highest grossing PG-13...
'I Dream of Jeannie' Cast Coming to Australia

In addition to Jeannie, Barbara Eden featured in Flaming Star with Elvis Presley and...
Superheroes are Un-American
When one thinks of superheroes, one thinks of comic books, America, and blockbuster movies. Well, one used to. Nowadays, it's hard to find a superhero that is American. No, really. We started looking around at the current (and upcoming) crop of big-movie superheroes and it seems that hardly any of them are played by American actors! What's up with that, USA? In an internet, in a world, where the dominant language is American pop culture, it seems that the powers that be (when they're...
Anne Hathaway is Catwoman, Tom Hardy is Bane in New Batman
Anne Hathaway has been confirmed in the role of Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, in the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises in a press release from Warner Bros earlier today. The film, the third to be directed by Christopher Nolan, will star Christian Bale as Batman (for the final time) and will also star Tom Hardy, (the new Mad Max and 'Eames' from Inception) as Bane. Bane, for those of you who aren't Batman aficionados, is a character who was born and raised in a prison, who committed...
Blu-Rays of Christmas: Batman Begins
Starring Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson Director Christopher Nolan Rated M Released Dec 3 With the stunning success of The Dark Knight, it's quite easy to forget just how impressed we all were by it's prequel, Batman Begins. Such a shift in tone from the previous superhero (and Batman) films, it for its day, was something quite thrilling. Now of course, it's been overshadowed by a film that brings the superheroes to our world, in a trend that looks set to continue with the upcoming...
