Although HBO Max has yet to confirm any rumors, according to The Hollywood Reporter the show is likely to end up on the streaming service. This is huge news for fans of Peacemaker.

12 Post-Credits Scenes That Never Got Resolved
15 years ago, it was basically unheard of for moviegoers to sit through a film’s closing credits. As soon as the credits started to roll and the auditorium lights came back on, people would make a beeline for the bathroom and the exits. Who cares who made the thing? The movie was over. That all changed with Iron Man, where, after the credits rolled, Samuel L. Jackson showed up to speak to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark about the Avengers Initiative. Jackson wasn’t in the rest of the film at all; if you left early, you missed his entire appearance. Marvel was far from the first company to inclu...

'The Batman' Is Officially Getting a Sequel
Warner Bros. has already announced multiple TV spinoffs to The Batman — including one about Colin Farrell’s Penguin character, and another that started off as a show about the Gotham City Police Department, but eventually morphed into one about Arkham Asylum — but to date there has been absolutely no word about a sequel film for The Batman. One would think Warner Bros. would want to make that movie. It’s the highest-grossing movie of 2022, both here in the U.S. and worldwide, by a very large margin. (It’s made $759 million dollars worldwide, more than $130 million better than the next film on ...

Watch What 'The Batman' Would Look Like Starring Adam West
Batman has only endured as a character for so long because he is malleable to his times. These days, he tends to be a gritty avenger, a brutal dark knight avenger of crime. But back in the 1960s, the Batman was a friendly guy; a chipper bloke who occasionally danced in between battles with the Joker or the Riddler. It can be a little mind-warping to consider that the Batman played by Adam West is the same character as the guy Robert Pattinson plays in The Batman. But they are. (Or they’re supposed to be, anyway.) And that’s why this video is so fun. It inserts Adam West’s jovial, groovy Batman...

Josh Brolin Says He Almost Played Zack Snyder's Batman Over Ben Affleck
It seems hard to contemplate a world where Thanos was Batman — It sounds like a really desperate episode of What If…? in fact. But it almost happened. While Ben Affleck was Zack Snyder’s ultimate choice to play Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, the other finalist was Josh Brolin. Since then, Brolin has played the X-Man Cable in Deadpool 2 and Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. But in an alternate corner of the multiverse, Brolin became the new DC Comics hero. Brolin revealed how close he came to getting the role, and talked about his feelings about it ...
