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

What happens when Batman doesn’t just “not save the day,” but allows for horrible things to happen?

Hugh Jackman On Why He’s Walking Away From Wolverine
Over the last year, Hugh Jackman has been very wishy-washy about playing Wolverine and how much longer he would be playing the character. First X-Men: Days of Future Past was going to be his last movie, then he was going to play the character until he died.
