Michael Keaton recently did an interview on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast, where he briefly discussed what he wanted to do for the next Batman movie after "Batman Returns." Here's what he had to say about not only his third Batman movie, but also about what he thinks of Chris Nolan's Batman movies: “The guy who’s doing them now, Chris Nolan, he’s so talented, it’s crazy. Christian Bale is so talented. It’s so good. But I say that like I’ve seen them, and I actually haven’t. I didn’t even see…

As you'll likely not need to be reminded; when The Dark Knight hit cinemas in 2008 it took the world by storm. Building on what Christopher Nolan had created in Batman Begins, the second film took everything that made the first so good and magnified it. There was more action, more drama, more suspense – and of course, one of the greatest performances of all time from Heath Ledger. So good in fact that he earned himself a…

Whenever there is a big blockbuster under production, many Photoshop geeks look to provide the world with their take on what that film's movie poster should be. Sometimes there are good ones, but most of the time, these fan-made posters tend to look a bit tacky and well, "Photoshopped". However, thanks to io9, we've managed to assemble a series of fan-made posters that are all pretty impressive. You can judge them for themselves below and be sure to share your opinions with comments!

Big thank you to Dustin, and everyone at TheBatmanUniverse.net for two tickets to see Batman: Live at my chosen venue, The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow on August the 3rd of this year, which was the opening night, for Batman: Live here in Glasgow. Batman: Live is the retelling of the origin of Dick Grayson, from boyhood acrobat, to the boy wonder. A classic story that anyone who has seen the movie “Batman Forever” can tell you about, so it was certainly a mighty task…

When Tim Burton was tapped for the second Batman film, he spoke with Michael Keaton and they both agreed that they had already discovered everything about Batman, with the first film. The studio persisted, and Tim's itch for Gotham had clearly not left him. And the result is a much darker Batman than even the first film captured.This one broke new ground that most Batman films still have not. This is a unique interpretation that cannot be duplicated. Tim Burton’s visual style…

Sad news hit the internet today. Michael Gough has passed away at the age of 94. Gough will be remembered by Bat-fans as the one constant in the first four Batman films by Warner Bros. Gough played Alfred as a father figure who knew how to deal with Batman's ongoing issues. And we will always think of the person who let Vicki Vale in the Batcave. I am joking of course as it did play into the story. Our thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends. He will…
