BATMAN: RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS

FULL-LENGTH FEATURE FILM ARRIVES NOVEMBER 1, 2016 ON BLU-RAY TM COMBO PACK, DVD & DIGITAL HD

 

BURBANK, CA (August 23, 2016) – Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment take Batman fans on a journey into the iconic past with the full-length animated Batman feature film – Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. The film features the vocal performances of Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman). Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be available November 1, 2016 on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack ($24.98 SRP) and DVD ($19.98 SRP). Order due date is September 27, 2016.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be available to own on Digital HD starting October 11, 2016.

It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!

Adam West steps behind the microphone to bring Batman to fully animated fruition. Burt Ward joins the fun as Batman’s sidekick, Robin, giving The Boy Wonder his voice in animated form. And Julie Newmar, star of stage (Tony Award winner for The Marriage-Go-Round) and screen (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), dons her feline ears to bring Catwoman to life.

Rick Morales (LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash) directs from a script by Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go!) and James Tucker (Justice League vs. Teen Titans). Tucker and Jelenic also serve as Supervising Producer and Producer, respectively, on the film. Sam Register is Executive Producer. Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are Executive Producers.

“Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders is an excellent addition to the ever-growing canon of Batman entertainment, offering a fun, playful animated version of the character’s adventures,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. “Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is proud to initiate a series of animated movies – under the new ‘DC Classics Collection’ brand – and honored to have Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar give life to these iconic characters.”

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders Blu-ray™ Enhanced Content includes:

Thor: Ragnarok Set Images Confirm Odin Rumors

A new batch of Thor: Ragnarok set images confirms previous rumors surrounding Odin.

More images of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston on the streets of NYC (filmed in Australia) have hit the net in addition to pics of Anthony Hopkins who is shown looking like a street person.

The Thor: Ragnarok rumor stated Odin has fled to Earth where he wanders around as a “end is near” crazy-looking street-corner hobo warning of the coming Apocalypse (Ragnarok).

Check out the pics below.

Other Thor: Ragnarok rumors included:

• Hela might replace Death in the MCU (which may mean Thanos is in love with Hela and the two battle the Marvel heroes in Avengers Infinity War).

• Hela and Loki’s plan (currently unknown) will have well been underway before Thor realizes what’s going on.

• It’s said Hela is responsible for an incident which leads Thor on a journey in the film.

• Thor gets banished from Asgard.

• Hela destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir.

• Hela teams up with Loki

• Hela destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir

• Thor gets banished to a gladiator world (Sakaar in the comics)

• Thor shaves his head and is forced to fight for his life in the arena (minus Mjolnir)

• Thor manages to defeat all his opponents

• Thor then has to face the champion of the arena – the Hulk

• It’s said the Hulk has not reverted back to Banner in a while which causes the Banner personality to seep out (it’s also unknown how Hulk got to the the planet)

• Hulk/Banner remembers Thor, leading the two to team up and head back to take on Hela and Loki

“Thor: Raganarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

Thor: Ragnarok Set Images Connects To Doctor Strange

It looks as if that Doctor Strange movie LEGO set may be valid as now Thor: Ragnarok set images reveal a connection to the Sorcerer Supreme.

Set pics out of Australia feature Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth on the streets of NYC where a set pic features Thor holding what is the address of Doctor Strange: 177A Bleecker Street. In the Marvel Comics, the address is the location of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum in Greenwich Village.

Obviously we can speculate Thor and Loki are in NYC to find Doctor Strange for some reason, which may mean Benedict Cumberbatch will be featured in a cameo role in Thor: Ragnarok.

Director Taika Waititi retweeted the images below.

“Thor: Raganarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

Ragnarok Rumored To Be Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth’s Last Thor Movie

Will Thor: Ragnarok be the last we see of Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth in a Thor movie?

Yesterday saw a batch of set pics from Australia hit the net featuring Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth.

The location in Australia was made to look like New York with yellow taxis and police cars, which means part of Thor: Ragnarok will be set in the Big Apple.

The BBC covered the news about the Thor: Ragnarok set images and included a caption that mentions: “The film is rumoured to be Hiddleston and Hemsworth’s last outing in the Thor franchise.”

Worth a note is that the rumor didn’t say it would be the last Marvel Thor movie, just that it may be the last for Hiddleston and Hemsworth.  

We’ll leave you to speculate what the Thor rumor means.

Regarding the Thor: Ragnarok scene being filmed, the Daily Mail notes the pair look fatigued and suggests they may have been involved in acting out a fight scene. Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth were also seen joking around in-between takes.

Watch video below from the set of Thor: Ragnarok with Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth.

“Thor: Raganarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

“SUICIDE SQUAD” SOARS TO MORE THAN HALF A BILLION DOLLARS

Warner Bros. Pictures’ Band of Antiheroes Hits the $500 Million Mark at the Global Box Office After Just 13 Days in Theaters

 

BURBANK, CA, August 18, 2016 – Warner Bros. Pictures’ action adventure “Suicide Squad” flew past half a billion dollars after 13 days in theaters around the globe, with a cumulative total of $509 million and counting. Having set records in its first two weeks in release, the film will help drive the overall August box office to a record high. The announcement was made today by Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President of Worldwide Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Kwan Vandenberg stated, “It is incredibly rewarding to see audiences around the world coming out in such a big way for ‘Suicide Squad.’ We have several major markets yet to open, and expect to continue seeing strong returns at the box office for the weeks to come.”

Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, added, “We’re thrilled with the huge numbers on ‘Suicide Squad,’ and to be coming out of an already highly successful summer with such a big win for our slate. The film is in position for another terrific weekend as our overseas expansion continues.”

The domestic box office total now stands at more than $238 million; the international figure is $271 million, with the film opening in Germany this weekend and in Japan on September 10.

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super-Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Written and directed by Ayer based on the characters from DC Entertainment, the film also stars Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne, Adam Beach, and Karen Fukuhara in her feature film debut.

Entertainment Company, and released in 3D, and in 2D, and in select IMAX 3D theaters. “Suicide Squad” is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content and language.

Silk Rumored For Spider-Man: Homecoming Played By Tiffany Espensen

While everybody is going bonkers over the potential casting of Zendaya in Spider-Man: Homecoming, a new rumor/speculation points to Silk being in the film.

According to a casting call sheet, 17-year-old Tiffany Espensen is playing a character named Cindy in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Silk in the Marvel Comics is named Cindy Moon.

The character was retconned into existence a couple of years ago by Dan Slott when it was said the same radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers also bit a second person, Cindy Moon.

Silk has similar powers to Spider-Man but a greater Spider Sense (Silk Sense) and can shoot webs out of her fingertips.

The call sheet also reveals Bokeem Woodbine is playing Shocker, and hints Hobgoblin may appear with Ned Leeds.

Zendaya is also stated to be playing Michelle, not Mary Jane; though that could be a codename to throw people of.

(via reddit)

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. 

Synopsis:

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

Vin Diesel Confirms Guardians of the Galaxy For Avengers: Infinity War

It looks as if the Guardians of the Galaxy make it out of the sequel unscathed as they will be appearing in The Avengers: Infinity War.

The Russo brothers previously confirmed Star-Lord Chris Pratt for Avengers: Infinity War and Rocket Raccoon has been said to be a part of the film; now Vin Diesel, the voice of Groot, confirms all of the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy for the third Avengers movie.

“…the Guardians will be included in Avengers: Infinity War, and that’s incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting and something that if you were a part of our page you knew before everybody,” Vin Diesel posted on Facebook.

Likewise, a while back saw Avengers: Infinity War writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely confirm the Guardians of the Galaxy: “Let me put it this way. You know who owns that gauntlet, right? And you know who’s in another movie? His kids are in that movie. It’s a big universe” McFeely said, with Markus adding, “You do the math!”

We can speculate that something may take place at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 that possibly causes the Guardians to sync up with the Marvel Earth heros for Avengers: Infinity War.

James Gunn has been pretty adamant about no Avengers or Thanos for Guardians of the Galaxy 2; however, Gunn may just be trying to throw fans off.

Winter Soldier was recently confirmed for Avengers: Infinity War as well.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 hits May 5, 2017; The Avengers: Infinity War lands May 4, 2018.

James Gunn Comments On Zendaya Spider-Man: Homecoming Reaction

Yesterday saw a rumor hit the net stating that Zendaya is actually playing Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man: Homecoming, which has caused a lot of uproar.

Personally, I’m from the school of thought that they should just create new characters instead of replacing already existing characters, and that goes for all characters of color and creed. For instance, I wouldn’t want a white, chinese or latino Luke Cage or Black Panther or John Stewart, and I wouldn’t want a male Catwoman or Harley Quinn. 

However, right now it’s “cool” to be PC, and if you disagree, you’ll be labeled a misogynist, a Trump supporter, bigot, racist etc. You’ll also see the studio (or whoever) state, “well, ahem, we just went with the best person for the job,” which is a laughable statement.

Likewise, you’ll also be told to get a life if you happen to care that a character’s core is changed so much. You’ll be called names and belittled for caring about a fictional character, a character that you shell our your hard earned cash for, a character that makes these guys millions and billions of dollars, a character that some people have made or do make their living from, and a character that may have impacted your personal life.

Regarding Mary Jane, I always thought she was a rather unique character. She’s a red head, which only makes up 2% of the population. I felt Peter Parker was darn lucky to have a girlfriend like that. 

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn took to his social networks to voice his thoughts, like he often likes to do, on the fan reaction to Zendaya potentially playing Mary Jane (Gunn says he doesn’t know who she is playing).  Gunn took to Twitter to state that if your are a complainer, you basically need to get a life as well. Gunn then expanded upon his thoughts on Facebook stating that if the color of Mary Jane’s hair is the major attribute of the character, then that character is “shallow and sucks.” You can read Gunn’s full thoughts below.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. 

Synopsis:

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” 

Via Facebook:

People get upset when something they consider intrinsic to a comic book character changes when adapted for a film. I get this. There are movies I dislike because I think there’s a basic misunderstanding of the story or the character when the comic is transferred to film (I still hate how in the first Batman movie the Joker was revealed as the murderer of Bruce Wayne’s parents, for instance.)

That said, I do not believe a character is the color of his or her skin. When Michael B Jordan was cast as Johnny Storm I didn’t understand the uproar. The primary characteristic of Johnny was not, to me, that he was white, or that he had blonde hair, but that he was a fiery, funny, big-mouthed braggart of a hero. I was happy that he was going to be played by one of the finest and most charming young actors out there.

Yesterday, a rumor broke out that the character of Mary Jane was being played by a young black woman, Zendaya, and all hell broke out on the Internet (again). I tweeted that if people find themselves complaining about Mary Jane’s ethnicity they have lives that are too good. (For those of you who think this means I’m confirming that Zendaya IS playing MJ, realize that although I’ve read the Spidey script, and I’ve met the actress in question, I have no idea what her role is. There’s a good chance someone told me at one time or another, but, if so, I can’t remember. I’m going to find out when I go into Marvel this afternoon, but I feel free to speak until that time because it’s about the concept about a black woman playing Mary Jane, not the actuality or hypothesis of it.)

I got a thousand or so responses to my tweet. Most of them were positive. Some folks disagreed – they thought the character should look like what she looks like in the comics – but were thoughtful. And a handful were flat out racist.

I can’t respond to the racists – I’m not ever going to change their minds. But for the thoughtful majority of you out there:

For me, if a character’s primary attribute – the thing that makes them iconic – is the color of their skin, or their hair color, frankly, that character is shallow and sucks. For me, what makes MJ MJ is her alpha female playfulness, and if the actress captures that, then she’ll work. And, for the record, I think Zendaya even matches what I think of as MJ’s primary physical characteristics – she’s a tall, thin model – much more so than actresses have in the past.

Whatever the case, if we’re going to continue to make movies based on the almost all white heroes and supporting characters from the comics of the last century, we’re going to have to get used to them being more reflective of our diverse present world. Perhaps we can be open to the idea that, although someone may not initially match how we personally conceive a character, we can be – and often are – happily surprised.

Zendaya Rumored For Mary Jane In Spider-Man: Homecoming

Disney and Sony’s PC route for Spider-Man: Homecoming looks to continue as now it’s being said Zendaya is playing long time Peter Parker girlfriend and wife in the comics, Mary Jane Watson.

Tony Revolori is also playing Peter Parker nemesis, Flash Thompson.

The news about Zendaya is contrary to previous reports that she is playing a character named Michelle in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The rumor states a script for Spider-Man: Homecoming points to Zendaya playing Mary Jane, but not much else is known.

Sony, Disney and Marvel Studios have yet to confirm the news.

Disney and Marvel have been taking a similar path in their comics by replacing characters with PC versions, which looks to have finally caught up with the company as sales haven’t been that good and fans are getting pretty sick and tired of it all.

In addition, Sony’s recent Ghostbusters reboot was a complete failure.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

First Look At Henry Cavill Superman In Justice League Set Images

Update: The image may be from Batman vs. Superman.

 

We get a first look at Henry Cavill in Justice League as set pics have surfaced on Instagram.

The Justice League set images reveal Henry Cavill back in the red and blue costume. Cavill recently teased the Superman black costume for Justice League, which is thought to be similar to the “return of Superman” comic book version.

Henry Cavill can also be seen in the Justice League set images sporting the classic Superman curl, with green screens in the background which is used for CGI.

The Instagram user notes, “Superman gives the best hugs!”

Henry Cavill is currently filming Justice League in the UK. 

Last we saw of Henry Cavill and Superman, the last son of Krypton had fallen in battle while defending humanity against Doomsday in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Superman sacrificed himself to stop the Kryptonian hybrid creature with the help of fellow Justice League members Batman and Wonder Woman. Superman was buried in Smallville; however, as we all know — you can’t keep a good Man of Steel down.

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.

Brie Larson Captain Marvel Costume Fan Art

Check out two cool pieces of Captain Marvel fan art offering a potential look at Brie Larson for Avengers: Infinity War and the solo Captain Marvel movie.

Marvel Studios has yet to offer a first look at the costume, but it could very well follow the recent comic book version.

Speaking of the comics, it also recently became known that the Captain Marvel movie will not be going the comic book route for Carol Danvers’ origins as apparently Marvel thinks fans are too dumb to differentiate the origin from DC’s Green Lantern.

Captain Marvel hits March 8, 2019.

Natalie Portman Done With Marvel

Natalie Portman will not be back for Thor: Ragnarok or any other Marvel movie.

Portman, who played Jane Foster in the Thor movies, filled in WSJ.

“As far as I know I’m done,” Portman said. “I mean I don’t know if maybe one day they’ll ask for an Avengers 7 or whatever, I have no idea, but as far as I know I’m done. That was, all a great thing to be a part of.”

Thor: Ragnarok has a new female lead with Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.

Regarding Natalie Portman, there was said to be contention between her and Marvel while Thor 2 was filming. Reportedly, Portman was good friends with Patty Jenkins, the original Thor: The Dark World director, and Portman wasn’t happy when Jenkins was let go. It was even said Portman was forced back to do Thor 2, but didn’t want to return. Who knows? Maybe with Patty Jenkins directing Wonder Woman, there’s a place for Natalie Portman over at DC.

“Thor: Raganarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

First Look At Pennywise Costume In “It”

Following the close-up look, now a full view of Bill Skarsgard in costume as Pennywise the Clown from the upcoming Stephen King It feature film has been released. 

“The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will,” Emmy-winning costume designer Janie Bryant told EW.com. “He is definitely a clown from a different time.

“That pleating is actually Fortuny pleating, which gives it almost a crepe-like effect,” Bryant continued. “It’s a different technique than what the Elizabethans would do. It’s more organic, it’s more sheer. It has a whimsical, floppy quality to it. It’s not a direct translation of a ruff or a whisk, which were two of the collars popular during the Elizabethan period. There is almost a doll-like quality to the costume. The pants being short, the high waistline of the jacket, and the fit of the costume is a very important element. It gives the character a child-like quality,” Bryant said.

“If you look at the sleeves, there are the two puffs off the shoulder and biceps and again on the bloomers, I wanted it to have an organic, gourd or pumpkin kind of effect,” Bryant offered. “It helps exaggerate certain parts of the body. The costume is very nipped in the waist and with the peplum and bloomers it has an expansive silhouette. The pompoms are orange, and then with the trim around the cuffs and the ankles, it’s basically a ball fringe that’s a combination of orange, red, and cinnamon. It’s almost like Pennywise fades into his environment. But there are accents to pull out the definition of the gray silk.”

Check out both the Pennywise images below.

“It” has a September 8, 2017 release directed by Andrés Muschietti (“Mama”) also starring Owen Teague, Jaeden Lieberher, Nicholas Hamilton, Steven Williams, Megan Charpentier, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Stephen Bogaert, Ari Cohen, Jack Grazer, Chosen Jacobs and Javier Botet.
