The Batman: Matt Reeves Addresses Why the Movie Doesn’t Have an R Rating

New DVD release
The Batman introduces a new, grittier take on the Dark Knight, one who definitely doesn’t mind beating criminals to a pulp. In the trailers released thus far, we’ve watched as Robert Pattinson hands out all manner of savage punishments, from turning a gang leader’s face into mush to electrocuting henchmen and knocking them out with their own guns. There’s no telling just how far he’ll go to deliver his brand of justice. As we learned from Pattinson himself in our The Batman cover story for the new issue of Den of Geek magazine, this version of the character definitely sounds…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson Recalls the First Thing He Did in His New Batsuit

New DVD release
The Batman not only introduces a new star to the Batcave but also a brand-new Batsuit, one unlike any we’ve seen on the big screen before. Built like expensive heavy duty armor designed to deflect bullets and blades, it nonetheless showcases this Bruce Wayne’s DIY spirit, complete with shoulder pads and a Bat symbol that looks like it was forged inside a garage. It’s exemplary of the film’s much more “grounded” approach to the Dark Knight‘s equipment. We spoke to Robert Pattinson for our The Batman cover story in the new issue of Den of Geek magazine and he told…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves Confirm Exclusive New Details About the Film

New DVD release
You know the scene: the Batman stands before a gang of skull-faced goons who think this weirdo in a costume is a joke. “Who the hell are you supposed to be?” asks their leader, who’s about to find out, one punch at a time, that Robert Pattinson’s unhinged, hyper-violent Dark Knight is no laughing matter. “How it was initially staged was the guy says, ‘Who are you?’ And Batman says, ‘I’m vengeance,’ and then beats everybody up,” reveals a much friendlier Pattinson, who cracks up while explaining how he helped tweak the scene to make it even more horrifying. “I…

Is Iron Man in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

New DVD release
Speculation is running rampant about the identity of the mysterious fiery person in the new Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness trailer. Is it Captain Marvel gone full Binary? Is it Monica Rambeau powered up? The Human Torch’s first appearance in the MCU? Sunfire quitting the Illuminati? Or is it Vulcan, and DS2 is just a War of Kings adaptation? Probably not the last one.  But there is one very intriguing possibility, a version of Tony Stark that would fit the tone this movie appears to be going for… SUPERIOR IRON MAN Axis was Marvel’s 2014 summer comics crossover…

The Batman: The Movie That Inspired Bruce and Catwoman’s Relationship

New DVD release
Matt Reeves wanted to make a real neo noir with The Batman. He’s mentioned this more than once while talking about his epic reinvention of the Dark Knight, which is slated to release next month. But when he sat down to talk about the movie for the newest issue of Den of Geek magazine, Reeves revealed just how intently he studied classics of that genre, finding acute influences for everything from the degradation of Gotham City to a highly specific interpretation of Batman and Catwoman’s relationship. It was while discussing the latter element that both Reeves and Batman actor Robert…

Wayne’s World: The Inside Story of the Comedy Classic

New DVD release
Wayne’s World is celebrating its 30-year anniversary and it’s party time. Excellent. Originally released on Feb. 14, 1992, it brought Mike Myers and Dana Carvey’s lo-fi cable hosts Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar from weekly segment appearances on Saturday Night Live to global domination on the big screen. Written by Myers, Bonnie Turner, and Terry Turner, Wayne’s World wasn’t expected to be a hit, much less a comedy classic with a $183 million worldwide box office take, and a sequel. It defied convention, enthusiastically breaking the fourth wall with characters directly addressing the camera, and exploring self-referential jokes, random cultural…

Doctor Strange 2 Trailer Teases Marvel’s Illuminati, X-Men, and New Villains

New DVD release
Y’know, I’ll confess, a lot of us here at Den of Geek weren’t entirely sure of what to make of the teaser footage for Doctor Strange 2 that accompanied Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was cool, but something about it felt a little off. Well, that certainly isn’t the case with the first proper Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, which looks absolutely RIDICULOUS and is packed with all kinds of major developments for the future of the MCU. Haven’t watched this trailer yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Now, here’s some of the big stuff we…

Oscars 2022: Predictions and Analysis

New DVD release
It was a good morning to work for Netflix. The streaming service which was once kept at arm’s length by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—and which Steven Spielberg once attempted to prevent from getting more Best Picture nominations by going directly to the Academy’s Board of Governors—is now the toast of the Oscars 2022 ball. Indeed, this morning’s Academy Awards nominations showered the streaming service with 20 nominations, 12 of which were for The Power of the Dog, more than any other film. Jane Campion’s Western scored the most love in at least the Oscar nomination process…

How Nightmare Alley Conjured Real Occult Worship

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for both versions of NIGHTMARE ALLEY. “Fear is the key to human nature,” the Great Stanton learns in William Lindsay Gresham’s Nightmare Alley. That 1946 novel was a hit when it came out, even though it was banned and censored. And its spell lingered so long it was adapted by Academy Award-winning horror maestro, Guillermo del Toro, in 2021 with Bradley Cooper starring as the carny medium. This most recent adaptation, however, is just the second screen version, following in the footsteps of a 1947 cult noir classic starring Tyrone Power. Both versions struggled at the…

Jurassic World: Dominion Trailer Raises Mystery About Blue the Raptor

New DVD release
“Life finds a way.” Those famous words from Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm in the original Jurassic Park have been quoted, paraphrased, and meme-ified ad infinitum. But they take on a new ominous meaning in the first full trailer for this summer’s anticipated Jurassic World: Dominion. Heralded as the “epic conclusion of the Jurassic era,” the trailer nonetheless appears to tease a whole new era for this franchise that’s ready to begin as soon as we meet everyone’s favorite velociraptor: Blue. The carnivorous dinosaur won hearts and minds for a species of predators that was the essential villain in the 1993…

New DVD release
Scott Shannon is the King Kong of rock and roll radio. The new feature-length documentary Worst to First: The True Story of Z100 New York describes how he arrived in New York to save a bottom-place radio station, and turned it into a major media force. “Coming to you live from the top of the Empire State Building,” like every other New York station sharing the city’s antenna, Z100 was one of the eight wonders of the radio world. The DJs broadcast from the swamps of New Jersey, when the Meadowlands might as well have been Skull Island, on-air talent…

Death on the Nile Review: Kenneth Branagh on Slow Boat to Murder

New DVD release
Count us among those surprised when director Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1934 mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express was an unexpected hit at the box office, raking in $352 million worldwide. Considering that the adaptation, like this weekend’s Death on the Nile, was a period piece based on source material probably either unknown or musty to modern audiences (as well as coming from an author now considered quite problematic in some ways), Branagh’s largely traditional take on the classic mystery (adapted previously for the big screen in 1974) managed to land with moviegoers. That’s mainly because it…

Pulp Fiction and the Trouble with ‘They Wouldn’t Make It Like That Today’ Arguments

New DVD release
They wouldn’t make a film like that now. It’s a sentiment as old as the movies themselves, with folks ever eager to note how the next generation of storytellers is not telling stories in the same way that the last one(s) did. Sometimes there is a kernel of truth at the root of this argument. After all, does anyone doubt Mel Brooks when he says he couldn’t make Blazing Saddles now as he did nearly half a century ago? But by and large, these arguments appear to be couched in nostalgia—a wistfulness which naturally occurs when comparing the icons of…
