Will mankind ever learn? Going by the re-entry of a Christmas movie into the Netflix top 10 before we’ve even had Halloween, I’m thinking no. 2018’s holiday animation The Grinch, which starred Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character, is back in the Netflix top 10. The film had previously enjoyed a spot on the prestigious list in July (more than once), August, and now September. At this point it feels like an ongoing saga.
Kevin Conroy has one of the longest ongoing associations with any superhero character, perhaps even the longest. The actor first voiced the Caped Crusader in 1992’s acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series, and though that show ended in 1995, his performance earned him the credit to carry on fighting crime in Gotham City in numerous further projects. But without that first role, it’s possible none of his further success would’ve come through, hence its significance is not lost on the man in the cowl.

The supervillain has proved one of Spider-Man’s most enduring foes, racking up countless comic book battles, animated showdowns and one film appearance over his 56 years of evildoing.

Remember Tangled, that zippy animated adaptation of the Rapunzel fairy tale? The one set in the Kingdom of Corona. Well, have you ever imagined what would happen if you crossed its hero Flynn Rider with assassin-extraordinaire John Wick? Didn’t think so. Someone else, on the other hand, not only had the thought, but brought it to life in a piece of fan art that the world never expected to see.
Chadwick Boseman departed the stage for the last time on August 28th, leaving behind a grieving family and a stunned public. And his story, which clearly struck a chord with millions, has now come to an abrupt end – a humble man who became a trailblazing superhero.
A couple of weeks have passed since the DC FanDome event dropped its mouth-watering reveals, with plenty of possibilities no longer left to the imagination. Foremost among those was our first proper look at Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader. He’ll have his hands pretty full in The Batman, with the Riddler, Penguin and Carmine Falcone among the rogues gallery lining up to defeat him. But you know what? They aren’t powerful enough.
