In just a couple of years, we'll see how Robert Pattinson performs as the new Dark Knight in Matt Reeves' The Batman. And as exciting as the wait for that particular blockbuster is proving to be, none of us have ceased wishing that a Batman Beyond movie one day come to fruition.
If the unfortunate situation involving Kevin Hart weren't enough to sadden us this week, it's come to our attention that veteran actor Sid Haig has likewise become the focus of tragedy. Specifics haven't been given, but let's go over what we do know.
By now, you're probably aware of how "Crisis on Infinite Earths" is shaping up to be a star-studded affair and a dream come true for DC Comics fans. Just earlier this evening, it was confirmed that Johnathon Schaech will return as Jonah Hex for the crossover event, but the fun hasn't stopped there.
At this point, I really shouldn't be surprised by any casting announcements pertaining to "Crisis on Infinite Earths," but I must say that I somewhat am when it comes to today's bit of news. My reason for saying that is because I simply didn't consider characters from further back on the timeline putting in appearances. And when I say "further back," I really mean it.
Similar to how The CW's Supergirl had to introduce its own version of Superman at some point, Titans had to do likewise with Batman. After all, there's really no way you can produce a series including the likes of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd without acknowledging their mentor.
With Stargirl having been pushed to 2020, we ended up receiving Titans' second season much earlier than expected - but I don't think anyone is complaining. After all, DC Universe's first series to ever launch has arguably proven to be its most popular, so it's understandable that they satisfy subscribers.
Something I'm sure that many longtime Halloween fans have loved about the line of movies produced by Blumhouse Productions is how they've managed to secure the services of several franchise veterans. And to the delight of all, the sequel, Halloween Kills, has locked down the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, who'll reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, respectively.
When it comes to remakes in Hollywood, we've certainly seen no shortage of them in recent years - especially in the horror genre. But when I sit down to watch freshly released footage and the Blumhouse logo is there to greet me, I'm immediately filled with a sense of assurance that whatever it is will be worth my time.
Considering how we've still got some time to go before cameras begin rolling on The Batman, it'll be even longer before we get to feast our eyes on a teaser trailer of some sort. Fortunately, we've got you taken care of for the time being with a brand new fan-made preview that allows us to gaze into the crystal ball.
By now, I'm pretty sure you're well aware of how opinionated Rob Liefeld can be. In his defense, he has every right to express his views online and has been in the comic book industry for decades. Given the latter point, people are bound to listen whenever Deadpool's co-creator speaks up - it's just that he sometimes rubs folks the wrong way.
