Production Of 'The Batman' Halted Temporarily After Positive COVID-19 Test
A couple weekends ago, DC FanDome, a virtual convention, got people more excited for The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson. The casting of this actor was a questionable choice in the eyes of those who only knew him as Edward Cullen from The Twilight Saga. However, more people were won over. Thanks to a teaser trailer that came out of The Batman panel at DC FanDome, enthusiasm over the film rose. The teaser impressed people despite only 25-30% of the film having been shot by then. It also helps that Matt Reeves talked all about what we could expect in this upcoming film, which is more of a detective story than any previous Batman film. We also know that it would take place a year and a half after Batman’s first appearance and sometime during year two of Batman’s career as a crimefighter.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: "The Dark Knight" (2008)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

'The Batman' Official Trailer Reveals First Looks at Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright's Gordon
One of the more highly-anticipated upcoming film releases is The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson. It can be argued that Batman is the most popular, well-loved superhero of all time, and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy helped cement the character as an awesome hero, with The Dark Knight being regarded by many as arguably the greatest superhero movie of all time. With all of that said, there was criticism about Zack Snyder's interpretation in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. A new Batman movie with a new interpretation of the Caped Crusader is definitely something to look forward to, however. He has such a rich history between the comics, movies, video games, etc. He is a character you can take in a lot of directions while remaining faithful to previously released material.

The recent DC FanDome event was probably one of the most massive events for comic book movies, especially during this pandemic, which has been feeling like forever. DC FanDome conquered every comic book-related corner via reveals from DC Entertainment, including teaser trailers for The Batman starring the menacing Robert Pattinson and the Snyder Cut of Justice League, as well as revealing the new title for the sequel to 2019’s hit film Shazam! Starring Zachary Levi, who, along with Asher Angel, is back as the titular character whose civilian identity is Billy Batson.

My Review of "Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn"
Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is a really long title name for a movie. As you continue to watch the movie and learn about Harley Quinn you start to understand why they titled this movie this way. I think the hesitation to this movie is probably that everyone was a little sore from the outcome of Harley's previous movie called Suicide Squad. I didn't think Suicide Squad was an absolute dumpster fire of a movie but I don't buy into hype when I watch movies either.

Zack Snyder Explains Why He Used "Hallelujah" In The New 'Justice League' Trailer
There is no doubt that The Snyder Cut of Justice League panel at DC FanDome, a virtual convention for various media related to DC Comics, became a hot topic among the superhero movie fan community. Snyder’s interpretation of the 2017 film will be released in four parts, one hour each, on HBO Max. A trailer for Snyder’s version came out of the panel, set to the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. Oddly, there is no dialogue to go with the visuals, just this song.

Thoughts on The Batman trailer
Let me preface these thoughts with a simple statement: I love superheroes, and my favourite superhero is Batman. Also, this is not a brief review of a small teaser. I believe fans of Batman often straddle the line between being the hardest critics of the Caped Crusader while at the same time defending him and his lore against fairly reasonable criticisms. I want to take a broader look at the recent background of Batman's big screen appearances, and what this teaser might mean for the future. If you want nothing more than a fan's thoughts on the trailer, scroll till you see the signal and read from there. With all those vaguries in mind, onwards.
