Why The World Needs To See Batman In A Rated R Movie

Posted on by

Cinema has done a fine job presenting Batman in a way that is enjoyable for all audiences. West showed us the man with morals, Keaton showed us the hero, Kilmer showed us the bizarre, Clooney showed us everyone makes mistakes, and Bale showed us The Dark Knight in a real world. With each performance, a mainstream audience got a different feel for Batman, and each (well, most, anyway) succeeded in giving the world all sides of Batman…

…save one.

What happens when Batman doesn’t just “not save the day,” but allows for horrible things to happen? Sure, we saw Rachel Dawes blow up in The Dark Knight…but considering that was the work of The Joker, that was a fairly painless and quick death than what comic book readers have experienced. What happens when The Caped Crusader truly experiences something horrific? When his response is not to prevent, but rather to avenge? What happens when Batman breaks bad? Continue reading →

Christopher Lloyd: I’d Do ‘Back to the Future: Part IV’

Christopher Lloyd

During an interview with THR on Wednesday, Lloyd says he’d sign on immediately if the whole gang — Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson — got back together for one more time-traveling adventure.

“I would love to do Doc again, no question,” Lloyd says.

The blockbuster franchise has experienced a cultural resurgence recently as October 21st, 2015 approaches. The date, dubbed Back to the Future Day, coincides with the exact date in Back to the Future: Part II where Marty travels to the future from 1985. A fourth installment in the series is unlikely, but fun to imagine for Lloyd, who turns 77 next week.

“It’s tough to come up with an idea that contains the excitement of the original three,” Lloyd says. “So it would be a real challenge for the writers to come up with an original Back to the Future story that has the same passion and intensity and excitement as the other three. But it could be done, you never know,” he adds with a chuckle. Continue reading →
