A new version of the Dark Knight will make his Dcu debut when The Brave and the Bold hits screens, and Jake Gyllenhaal would love to play the titular hero.
Speaking to Screen Rant, Gyllenhaal discussed the prospect of taking on the role if the opportunity presented itself. He also touched on what it would be like to play a character others have embodied on screen. "Oh, man. That's a classic. It's an honor," he said. "Speaking of playing roles that other incredible actors have played in the past, to me actually roles that other incredible actors have played in the past, which, to me when I think about it, I'm going to play Iago in Othello with Denzel Washington, and I think about like the history of actors that have played that role throughout time, and I'm intimidated by that."

Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight trilogy is famously one of the best adaptations of the character to have ever graced a screen. Not only is the actor perfect in his role as the Batman, dedicating everything he had to the role, the supporting cast, action, and design are perfect. The cherry on top, however, is Christopher Nolan and his award-winning direction.

Calling the three films perfect would be the best way to describe them. Considering just how well-thought out the films were, it is surprising to find out that the third film was going to have a completely different story. One that can be used for another film as it introduced one of the most important characters in The Batman’s story, as well as a beloved character from the comics.

While the film industry has remained at the top of the popular culture landscape as a result of the appeal of famous stars, it often feels like the dominance of “celebrity culture” overshadows the work that these actors do. Although it’s important to have actors promote their films through creative marketing campaigns, like that of The Dark Knight and more recently, I'm Still Here with Joaquin Phoenix, it’s certainly a challenge when actors’ time is dominated by the discussion of their private lives instead of their work. Given an audience’s familiarity with a celebrity based on their media appearances, it can be harder to completely believe them as different characters.

Actors like Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 10 Things I Hate About You have gone on to star in key Nolan films. The success and impact of 10 Things I Hate About You paved the way for the actors to earn significant roles in Christopher Nolan's movies.
Director Christopher Nolan is often noted for his genius casting decisions, with his films having curiously utilized multiple actors from one brilliantly 25-year-old romantic comedy. Though Nolan is most commonly known for casting the same actors multiple times in his movies, such as working with Michael Caine on nine films and Cillian Murphy on six projects, he has also made some surprising casting decisions with actors that yielded highly memorable performances. Recently, Christopher Nolan’s movies have revealed an unexpected actor pattern connected to a 1999 film.

Warning: this post will contain spoilers for Zack Snyder's "Watchmen."
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' 1986 comic book classic "Watchmen" takes place in the then-present but also in a parallel universe wherein Richard Nixon is still president in the '80s. "Watchmen" took its cues from the superhero comics of the late 1930s while extrapolating history forward, asking what the world would look like if such fantastical beings actually came to be at that time. Naturally, conflicts like the Vietnam War would have ended differently, technology would have advanced by leaps and bounds ... and corruption would've still run rampant. Nixon, thanks to the positive outcome of the Vietnam War, was able to stay in office by repealing term limits. By 1977, however, public opinion had turned against super-vigilantes, and their existence was banned.
Moore and Gibbons were clearly making a comment on the rampant Reagan/Thatcher conservatism that was rolling high in the U.

Since Cillian Murphy just became the first Irish-born actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a list of the most notable Irish actors who have been honored by the Academy with either Oscar gold or a nomination.
1. Cillian Murphy
Murphy has played non-Irish roles so often and so well that some people may not realize or remember that he is Irish. His best Irish films include Breakfast on Pluto and The Wind that Shakes the Barley. And as noted above, he is the first Irish-born actor to take home an Academy Award in the Best Actor category.

The sequel has been a staple of media long before the creation of film, as there's always something so enticing and exciting about the continued story of beloved characters or a beloved world. Film as a medium has been no different, with many amazing and iconic sequels having been released over the years, some even surpassing the original in quality, such as The Dark Knight, The Empire Strikes Back, or the recently released Dune: Part Two. However, for every highly beloved sequel that's been released, there are also a handful that are completely devoid of quality.

Tom Hardy's role in Inception was a result of Nolan's interest in his ability to fully embody a character with cheeky charm. Hardy's early career roles and humor were key factors in Nolan casting him, leading to subsequent high-profile roles post-Inception. Hardy brought a humorous and witty element to his role in Inception, adding depth and charm to the complex sci-fi story.
Academy Award-winning director Christopher Nolan frequently collaborates with the same actors in his movies, and among that company is Tom Hardy, whose first Nolan film was Inception, in which he plays Eames. The movie released in 2010, when Nolan was riding high off the massive success of 2008's The Dark Knight. It's a mind-bending time travel story that centers on Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a dream thief who's offered the chance to clear his criminal name by "incepting" a corporate target.

The "Teen Titans" are headed back to the big screen — in live-action form. THR is reporting a live-action "Teen Titans" movie is on the way from Warner Bros. and the James Gunn and Peter Safran-fronted DC Studios. Ana Nogueira is tackling the script. Nogueria is also writing the "Supergirl" movie for DC Studios, and was previously attached to write a different "Supergirl" movie that ended up getting scrapped. Got it? Good.
The Teen Titans first appeared in the pages of "The Brave and the Bold" comic back in 1964, created by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. Since then, they've appeared in various forms of media, including animated series and animated films, including the fun "Teen Titans Go!" franchise, as well as the gritty live-action series "Titans," a show primarily known for letting Robin say the f-word.

Hans Zimmer, the two time Oscar winner and four time Grammy winner, is one of the most prolific film score composers of all time. With a career spanning over 40 years, from “The Lion King” to “The Dark Knight” trilogy to the “Dune” movies, he shows no signs of slowing down. As for retirement, don’t expect it any time soon.

As Christopher Nolan basks in the afterglow of Oppenheimer’s dominant performance at the 96th annual Academy Awards – including a best picture win for the film and a long-overdue best director nod for Nolan himself – speculation is growing about what the British filmmaker will tackle next for his 13th feature. Nolan is typically reticent to speak about future projects; with the director working on a more or less three-year cycle for his last several films, he might not even officially say anything about his new movie until later in 2024 or early in 2025.
But according to rumors that have surfaced online in the past week, Nolan may tackle as his next film a big-screen version of the cult classic TV series The Prisoner, which was broadcast in the UK in 1967 and the US in 1968. The show, which ran for a single season consisting of 17 episodes, was created by Irish actor/writer Patrick McGoohan,...

Batman's refusal to kill separates him from villains, says writer Grant Morrison. Morrison believes Batman's no killing rule is essential to his psychology and character. Morrison argues that Zack Snyder's idea of forcing Batman to kill would make him a villain, not a hero.

In his recent newsletter, Morrison addresses the recent comments made by Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder, who believes that Batman should be forced into situations where he must kill.

Christopher Nolan has been the recent recipient of the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture for last year’s war biopic Oppenheimer. The film had a dream run during awards season this year, winning the top awards at the ceremony. However, this was Nolan’s second nomination as a director, with his first coming a few years ago for the war drama Dunkirk.
The World War II drama about the evacuation of British soldiers from Dunkirk Beach lost the Best Director Award to Guillermo Del Toro, who won for Shape of Water. Back then, Nolan had reportedly been hopeless about the ceremony and blamed Harvey Weinstein’s aggressive Oscar campaign for Shakespeare in Love for ruining the Oscars.

Retired English actor Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors in cinema’s history. Although picky, the actor won numerous accolades throughout his career. Most of his performances, if not all, have been critically acclaimed. The proof of this fact is that he has three Academy Awards, making him the actor with the most Academy Awards for Best Actor.
Back to the part about him being picky, Day-Lewis has rejected roles in some great movies. For instance, he rejected the lead role in 1993’s Philadelphia and the role of the vampire Lestat in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire.

Cillian Murphy’s Oscars win was special on many grounds, primarily his first Christopher Nolan film as a lead in their sixth collaboration. Oppenheimer is a remarkable film, and Nolan’s vision added to the aesthetic grandness of the biopic, turning it into a cinematic masterpiece.

New artwork makes the case for casting Timothée Chalamet as the live-action Terry McGinnis in a Batman Beyond adaptation.
Serving as a sequel series to Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond moved the story forward several decades, set in a futuristic Gotham City where Bruce Wayne has retired as Batman. With crime on the rise, teenager Terry McGinnis steps up as the new Batman while an elderly Bruce serves as his mentor. The cult classic cartoon show has yet to be given an official live-action adaptation, though new artwork shared by Kibar.Art on Instagram imagines how Chalamet may appear in the role of Terry. The artist referred to the Dune: Part Two star as his No. 1 choice to play Terry in live-action, and the comments section includes many fans noting their agreement.

For over 30 years, Mark Hamill voiced DC’s Clown Prince of Crime in varied endeavors, starting from the very beloved Batman: The Animated Series. Although the likelihood of the Star Wars actor ever returning to the role is minimal in light of Kevin Conroy’s passing, there’s one person to thank behind his iteration of the Batman arch-nemesis coming into existence in the first place.
And funnily enough, it almost seems fateful that it was none other than Michael Keaton, one of the actors who embodied The Caped Crusader in live-action films, albeit to initial flak.

Christopher Nolan's potential remake of "The Prisoner" offers more creative freedom than tackling James Bond, leading to a potentially riveting and visually stunning project. "The Prisoner" is a perfect fit for Nolan due to its genre blending of spy thriller and sci-fi mystery, aligning with his past works like "Inception" and "Interstellar." Winning seven awards at the 2024 Academy Awards, "Oppenheimer" has cleared the path for Nolan to potentially tackle "The Prisoner" as his next project, offering a fresh and exciting alternative to James Bond.

It has been over fifteen years since Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), and fans believe there’s not yet a portrayal of Joker—the uber-iconic Batman villain—that quite matches up to the unprecedented legacy set by Heath Ledger. While this has been DC fans’ consensus for a while now, one deleted scene from the $1.006 billion movie caused the sentiment to reverberate once more.

The sequence in question follows The Clown Prince of Crime into a bus right after he pushes the detonate button on the Gotham General Hospital. Although in the movie, the scene shows Joker making an escape in a school bus only to cut to Gary Oldman’s James Gordon, the deleted scene allows viewers to sit with the antagonist and the aftermath of what he’d done.

The highly-anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman has been pushed back from its original Oct. 3, 2025 release date on the Warner Bros. slate. The movie will now release Oct. 2, 2026. That means there will now be an over four-year gap between the first film, which saw Robert Pattinson don the cape and cowl, and Part II.
This will of course come as disappointing news for DC fans who have been awaiting the second installment in what’s meant to be a whole trilogy of Batman movies from Reeves and Pattinson. But it isn’t all bad news for Batfans, especially if (weirdly) you also happen to be a fan of The Dark Knight. Taking over the Oct. 3, 2025 spot on the slate is another WB production, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, which is a reimagining of the Bride of Frankenstein, starring Bale, Jessie Buckley, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, and Penelope Cruz. Gyllenhaal...
