The Joker's on You: John Lithgow Regrets Not Playing the Joker (Twice) in Batman
There are a few surefire ways to get yourself noticed in Hollywood: No.1, embarrassingly brawl with the paparazzi, and No. 2, get yourself cast in a #Batman movie. Apart from the shootings, bombings, and general rampages perpetrated by mad supervillains, why anyone would turn down the chance to take to the mean streets of Gotham is beyond me. However, it now turns that the legend that is #JohnLithgow missed out — twice!

Nip It in the Bud: Joel Schumacher Explains Those Bat Nipples from 'Batman & Robin'
Na na na na na na na na no thanks! That is probably what most people have to say about the state of #Batman in 1997, a.k.a. the year that #superhero films died. There is no denying that #JoelSchumacher's second entry in the Batman franchise displayed some questionable taste; so, between Uma's Madonna cones glued to her head, to our "frosty" reception toward Arnie's performance, Batman & Robin should've never really left the nest.

Bulking Not Sulking: Josh Brolin Shows Off His Insane New Cable Physique
We all know that the older you get, the harder it is to keep in shape. Those two-day hangovers and that middle-aged spread when you might add a tire (or two) to the midriff are hard to avoid — well, not if you are #JoshBrolin. In addition to playing the Mad Titan #Thanos over in the #MCU, he is practicing his best potty mouth to suit up as Nathan Summers, a.k.a. #Cable, in #Deadpool2.

Claws For Thought: 'Logan' Producer Reveals Why It Took So Long For R-Rated X-Men
A curse or a blessing, slapping an R-rating and some gnarly fight scenes on your #superhero film can arguably make or break it. Get it right, and you can bask in the glory of Tim Miller's Deadpool, but get it wrong and you are left with a mixed bag Watchmen with some people not quite getting it (I personally adore Watchmen).

Bat's Enough Out Of You: Alicia Silverstone Thinks She Should Play Batgirl Again
Some things you really should just let go of, and if you are a Hollywood actor reminding fans of your diabolical performance in an equally awful film, you should avoid it at all costs. Enter #AliciaSilverstone, the Clueless actress who slipped on some ill-fitting lycra to play Batgirl in #JoelSchumacher's lambasted Batman & Robin in 1997.

Jack's Your Lot: Hugh Jackman And James Mangold Discuss Their Different Views On The 'Logan' Ending
Sure to be clawing its way up the charts, we are achingly close to the release of #Logan on home-release, meaning that we can cage #HughJackman's final foray as #Wolverine for viewing over and over again.

Brolin On The River: Deadpool Creator Says That Cable Casting Scared Him
As Tim Miller's #Deadpool slapped the superhero competition in 2016, it was no surprise that the post-credits tease of a sequel was fast tracked into production. In typical Deadpool style, there was the none too subtle hint that antihero Cable would be "tied" into the sequel, and so the hunt for Nathan Summers began.

'Flame' On: Ian McKellen Speaks Out About Gay Heroes In Comic Book Movies
I'm sorry, but there is nothing about tucking your junk into skin-tight spandex and wrestling other men in the dark that isn't ever so slightly homoerotic — it just is. However, while Hollywood moves forward with a packed slate of female-first superheroes like Wonder Woman and Batgirl, where are the men who prefer the company of other men?

Harley Quinn: 8 Things You Didn't Know About The Clown Princess
Even though Suicide Squad is several months away, we will all probably agree that we have a pretty good sense of the characters to come. One that's set to steal the show, and rightfully so, is Harley Quinn, portrayed by Margot Robbie.

Not Quite So Infinite: MCU Star Says 'Avengers: Infinity War' Won't Introduce New Heroes
What better way to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the #MCU than by throwing the biggest #superhero celebration ever? We are of course talking about the Russo brothers and their upcoming #InfinityWar, which promises to be the supes film to end all films. Teasing some 60+ heroes on our screen, there ain't no party like a Russo party and we are hoping for a Where's Waldo of #comicbook fandom.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Spider-Man
Spider-Man has been a perennial favorite and one of the most constant comic book characters over the years. Peter Parker has had some dark periods in terms of stories, but it's hard to find a Marvel fan who doesn't love the web-slinger.

Pop a 'Cap' in Your Ass: Chris Evans Teases End of the Road for Captain America in the MCU
Those bulging biceps, that square jaw, is there anyone better to slip on a pair of tight pants and play #CaptainAmerica than #ChrisEvans? Well, while some are still swooning over Steve, it looks like Disney is rolling forward with its plans to oust the Sentinel of Liberty in favor of a younger model. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Cap would hang up his shield, but it seems that even Chris Evans is keeping his eye on the clock and watching it tick down.
