We've been hearing a lot about Matt Reeves' The Batman in recent weeks, from some fresh glimpses of Robert Pattinson's look as the Dark Knight, to potential spoilers over what the plot will involve.

The recent trailer for Halloween Kills has us pretty excited, with the film promising gore and Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode taking the fight to Michael Myers.

Just a few days ago, we heard reports that Michael Keaton was going to be a permanent presence in the DCEU after The Flash, and now it seems that this will involve a commitment for at least three additional movies with Warner Bros.

2010's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World remains a cult classic that deserves to be found by a wider audience, both for Edgar Wright's faithful adaptation of the comic book source material and a stellar cast that includes Brie Larson.

One of Netflix's most costly investments in original programming not to get a second season, Jupiter's Legacy's cancellation has been attributed to a range of different factors.

Star Josh Duhamel has made the news a bit more frustrating, then, by claiming that season 2 would have been very fun to do.
