The Secret Behind Creating The Batman

A new documentary makes the compelling case that Bob Kane, the Caped Crusader’s acknowledged father, unjustly hogged all the credit at the expense of his collaborator, a little-known writer named Bill Finger.
“Batman & Bill,” debuting Saturday on Hulu, follows author Marc Tyler Nobleman’s obsessive quest to learn more about the mysterious Finger. Nobleman’s research was poured into the 2012 book “Bill the Boy Wonder: the Secret Co-Creator of Batman.”

Could Josh Gad Be The Penguin?

OK, I'm not going to say that Josh Gad has been cast as The Penguin in THE BATMAN (or GOTHAM CITY SIRENS, BATGIRL or NIGHTWING which are other BEU films currently in the works), based off one obscure tweet. But it is sort of weird that he would randomly tweet out a picture of The Penguin. Who knows, maybe he's just a big Batman fan and The Penguin is his favorite villain.

The Batman director Matt Reeves on his vision for the solo film

The Batman director Matt Reeves on his vision for the solo film


Warner Bros. Pictures recently brought on director Matt Reeves to helm their upcoming solo movie The Batman, although he is far too busy putting the finishing touches on 20th Century Fox’s War for the Planet of the Apes to have gotten too deep into it already. Nevertheless, the Batman director recently told Los Angeles Daily News about his vision for the Caped Crusader.

“It’s a strange thing to be involved in the two franchises which were the two that I was connected to most as a child,” Reeves said. “I just was obsessed with Batman when I was a kid. What I find so interesting about him as a character is that, as far a superhero goes, he’s not superhuman, he is a person. And he is a tortured soul who is grappling with his past and trying to find a way to be in a world that has a lot that’s wrong with it and trying to find a way to reconcile all of that.”
