14h ago - The Batman director Matt Reeves is giving us new information on #TheBatman spin-off series based on the Gotham police department, which will seemingly now focus on Arkham Asylum and have a bit of a horror twist thrown into the mix. Speaking with the YouTube channel, The Cyber Nerds, The Batman's director said, ""The GCDP thing, that story has kind of evolved. We've actually now [moved] more into the realm of exactly what would happen in the world of Arkham as it relates coming off of our movie, and some of the characters, again in their origins [...] It's like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham. "Again, the way that Gotham is a character in the movie, I really want Arkham to exist as a character, so that you go into this environment and encounter these characters in a way that feels really fresh. And so in our work on Gotham, that story started to evolve, and it started feeling like, 'Wait, we should really lean into this.' And that's kind of where that's gone." Now it's not exactly clear if the entire premise of the show has shifted from policing in Gotham to focus more on Arkham and its inmates, or if it'll be a combination of the two. They did, however, switch things up when original showrunner, Terence Winter—who was also a prominent producer and writer on The Sopranos— left The Batman spin-off due to reported creative differences. Now Joe Barton is stepping in to executive produce and showrun. With the Gotham police department spin-off series and the separate Penguin series, Warner Bros. is banking on this new iteration of The Batman for years to come. The Batman managed to pull in $134 million domestically, with strong pre-sale numbers throughout the weekend. And finally, The Batman ARG which seemingly teases a sequel storyline for the film.

3d ago - Actor John Cho shares what he thought about the cancellation of the live-action Cowboy Bebop series, explaining just how shocked he was when he heard the news. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Cho said, "It was just a huge event in my life, and it was suddenly over. It was very shocking, and I was bummed. I put a lot of my life into it. I'd gotten injured shooting that show and so I took a year off because of the surgery and devoted myself to rehab, came back, and finished the show." Even with the lukewarm reception of the live-action series, Netflix is really doubling down on taking our anime and bringing them into the real world with upcoming live-action adaptations of One Piece, YuYu Hakusho, and a live-action Gundam movie. Out of those three upcoming live-action adaptations, I have the most faith in the Gundam movie, which will be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts of Kong: Skull Island fame. But those are John Cho's thoughts on the cancellation of #CowboyBebop on #Netflix #Anime. In art imitating life in the strangest way, the actor who plays Homelander in Amazon Prime Video's The Boys was arrested on drunken assault charges. According to The Daily Mail, actor Anthony Starr admitted to assaulting a chef while working with director Guy Ritchie in Spain. The Batman has already earned $21.6 million in box office previews.

With the Netflix original shows now on Disney+, this sets a new standard for the family-friendly programming the streaming service has been known for. Will #DisneyPlus edit certain #Marvel episodes from shows like The Punisher or Luke Cage will be edited slightly to omit certain scenes that may be too over-the-top for Disney's standards. You might remember back in 2020, the streaming giant altered a scene in the 1984 movie Splash, using CGI hair to cover up actress Daryl Hannah's naked butt. While mature content is to be expected with a TV-MA rating, Disney Plus isn't above editing or altering content in their programming.
