Michael Keaton Says The Batsuit Still Fits 30 Years Later
You might have heard that Michael Keaton is reprising his role as Batman in director Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash. Now, you might expect that Keaton would require a new Batsuit from the one he wore in Tim Burton’s iconic Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), but you’d be wrong. During an interview on last night’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Colbert asked Keaton if he had to still try on the old Batsuit,
New “Eternals” Footage Hypes “Greatest Warriors the World Has Ever Known”
In a new TV spot for Marvel’s upcoming Eternals, one of their members claims they’re “the greatest warriors the world has ever known.” That would be Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), talking to a cameraman and doing a pretty serious bit of self-promotion. The claim seems a little hyperbolic considering the Eternals were a no-show while the Avengers were fighting Thanos and his intergalactic hordes. The Eternals didn’t just sit one fight out, they sat out three catastrophic brawls with Thanos when you add up Avengers,

Where did Tony Soprano come from? In The Many Saints of Newark, director Alan Taylor’s prequel to the HBO series, the show’s creator, David Chase, revisits a bygone Newark to give us Tony’s formative years via mid-century period piece. “Tony starts out as a six-year-old, and by the second time period, he’s a teenager,” says Kramer Morgenthau, the film’s cinematographer. As such, “there was the 1960s and then it goes into the 70s,
