Adam West has become synonymous with the crime fighting hero and the show’s success has even led to a movie being made featuring most of the original TV cast. ??Hot Toys is excited to introduce the 1/6th scale Batman and robin Collectible Figure from the 1966 feature film.

When Warner Bros. Pictures announced on August 22 that Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in director Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman/Batman movie, the sequel to Man of Steel, there was a huge reaction from fans around the world. Now, Ben Affleck has talked about getting cast in the July 17, 2015 release for the first time on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”

“It’s so awesome, man. I’m so excited. They called me up and said, ‘do you want to do this,’ and I’m like, ‘What? I’m not 25, man, are you sure about this? They said come down and we’ll show you what we’re doing, and it was incredible,” Affleck told Fallon. “Zack, the director, Zack Snyder is directing, he has this incredible take on it, that’s like… Obviously we can’t do what Chris [Nolan] and Christian [Bale] did, those movies are amazing, so he wants to do something different, but still in keeping with that, so I had to like, I thought this is a brilliant way to do this and I really know how to hook into this. And I said, ‘okay, I want to do it.’

“And the people from the studio were like, ‘we’re thrilled, we’re so excited… and listen, we want to talk to you, because people go through this process and it is a little bit, it can be trying. We want to show you some of the reactions that past cast members have got on the internet.’ So they sent me people who were in these movies that did a great job and people were like, ‘kiiilll him!’ I was like, you can’t say that before the movie comes out. It doesn’t matter what the people think then, it matters what they think when they see the movie. But I was like, ‘I’m a big boy. I can handle an Emmy snub, I can handle anything. They said, just don’t use the internet for a couple of days. I said, ‘I handle sh*t, you know what I mean. I’m very tough. So I saw the announcement, I look at the first comment and it’s like, ‘Ben Affleck is going to be Batman’ and the first person goes, ‘Noooooo!'”

Glee star Grant Gustin has been cast as The Flash in the upcoming series that the CW is developing. The Flash, a.k.a. Barry Allen, will be introduced in Arrow before the actual series takes off. He will appear in 3 episodes of Arrow. According to THR, it will be episodes eight, nine, and twenty, “the latter of which will serve as the backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff Flash series.”

The spin-off series is being developed by Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, as well as director David Nutter. Berlanti, Kreisberg, and DC Entertainment’s Geoff Johns will write the script for the series.

These guys have all done a great job with Arrow, and I hope they can find a way to make Flash cool, because I personally think Flash is one of the lamest superheroes out there.

It’s long been a dream for fans that Marvel Studios films should at least attempt a cross over with Sony’s Spider-Man and Fox’s X-Men films. Even Hugh Jackman himself has spoken about wanting to appear on screen as Wolverine with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. The logistics of the studios letting this happen is a bit of a nightmare, but it did almost happen once apparently.

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Jackman mentioned that he almost had a cameo in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, but an uncommon issue prevented it.

“In the first “Spider-Man” — Kevin Feige reminded me of this — we really tried to get me to come on and do something, whether it was a gag or just to walk through the shot or something. The problem was, we couldn’t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn’t get it together. So, you know, I actually asked some high level people about it. Because the optimist in me goes, “Why not? Why can’t we do it? You know, a split cast or whatever?” And someone reminded that the amount of money Fox paid compared to the amount of money Disney paid is very different [laughs]. So how you split that pie up? God knows. But in the comic books, what’s great about it is they’re just mashing together all the time — and it’s awesome. And people are like, “Yeah, well, let’s get this one with that!” And, you know, I still think, one day, there may be an ability to do it.”

Eccentric roles are Johnny Depp’s specialty. In Disney’s The Lone Ranger, Johnny Depp has given an interesting performance as the peculiar Native American Tonto.

The movie-accurate Tonto Collectible Figure is specially crafted based on the image of Johnny Depp as Tonto in the movie which features a detailed head sculpt with face paint, real fabric hair, weapons and a number of finely-made tribal accessories.
