The actor played Batman and left us all speechless with his enigmatic performance. While many actors had become Gotham’s vigilante on-screen before him, and a few aced the role after him, there was something quite special about Bale. But ironically, the actor had almost refused to continue with the role and wanted…

It’s going to be very, very good. A Good Trailer. A truly excellent trailer. Smart, sharp, giving us just enough so that we…

Image via The CW Ezra Miller has been the main talking point during the early screening of The Flash at CinemaCon — and it makes sense, considering the actor has faced so much controversy prior to the film’s release. While people discussed the actor’s potential future in the DCU, another topic that was discussed was Miller’s recovery. Since the controversies started in 2022, it was reported that Miller needed a “serious intervention” and had no plans to cut them from the upcoming superhero blockbuster. In an…

There, where she has gone through many code names—including the first female Captain Marvel, Pulsar, Spectrum, and Photon—Monica’s energy abilities let her convert her physical form into any form of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum, making her an…
