Jeffrey Dean Morgan Refuses To Say 'Bat's All' To Thomas Wayne And The DCEU!
Not content with life as Watchmen's Comedian, or his blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan wants to once again return to the world of superheroes. Jeffrey is certainly no stranger to dark comic book adaptations, but could The Walking Dead actor be the next man to slip on the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight? Don't worry, Ben Affleck isn't going anywhere yet, but Dean Morgan has expressed interest in reprising his role as Thomas Wayne if there were ever a Flashpoint movie!

Ben Affleck’s Batman Movie: What We Need To See In His Solo Outing
To borrow a phrase from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) “It’s a funny world we live in...” It really is, especially when we think of how much the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman was derided upon its announcement back in 2013... and here we are three years on, and he has been one of the most praised things about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (bar a few criticisms about his killing, of course).

Casting The Bat Family: Actors And Actresses Who Could Join Ben Affleck In 'The Batman'
Ben Affleck is Batman, and this Batman is taking the franchise in his own direction after Justice League. Ben Affleck is currently writing and will be directing his own solo outing as Batman, and there is already so much Batman lore currently built inside the DCEU, that he has plenty of inspiration to draw from.

From TARDIS To MCU: 9 'Doctor Who' Actors That Played Comic Book Characters
It's quite surprising the amount of actors who have gone from #DoctorWho to superhero films and TV. Even if we just look at #NuWho, there have been a fair few actors who have moved on to superhero media — some in the #MCU, whereas others occupy the #Arrowverse — whether small cameos or leading roles. Seriously, there's more than you might think.

One Year Later: Fantastic Four's Writer Reveals His Original Story, and It Sounds Amazing!
The Fantastic Four have not had the smoothest of rides with regards to transitioning from comic books to the silver screen. In two separate film incarnations, Marvel's first family has stumbled. Neither of the two versions of the characters has grasped the imagination of the audience and there seems to be a malaise surrounding the characters now. But, without the intervention of the producers, it could have been so different.

Sony and Marvel Will Work Together to Make a Spider-Man Movie Universe
After eight years, Spider-Man has finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland's appearance as Marvel's flagship hero in Captain America: Civil War was a triumph for Marvel Studios, and it all happened thanks to an agreement with Sony. In early 2015, the news we had all waited for broke after Sony and Marvel agreed to a deal that would allow Spider-Man to appear alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of Marvel's heroes.

The MCU Contract Situation: How Many Films Does Your Favourite Marvel Hero Have Left?
Here we are, well ensconced within Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the MCU continues to impress. Captain America: Civil War was, in my opinion, the best superhero film ever, so it is safe to say we are off to a good start. We're now 13 films in (I know, it really doesn't feel like it!), so I thought it might be good to have a look where we stand with regards to the actors' contract situation. It is well documented that each of the main stars signs multi-film deals, so 13 films in some are bound to be running out. Let's have a look at the state of play:

This Deleted Scene From 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Has a Cool Connection to 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
When Spider-Man: Homecoming swung into theaters, we were delighted by its joyful tone, along with the film's homages of famous Spider-Man moments and its liberal quantity of Easter Eggs. Yet on it's journey from script to screen it seems that one, particularly large reference was left on the cutting room floor. However, thanks to the recent digital release of the film — which comes complete with copious amounts of deleted scenes — we can now view it for ourselves! Scroll on down to check it out!

Silver Foxes Of The Silver Age: The 'Golden Guys' Of Comic Book Movies
Forget your Jeremy Renners and your RDJs running around a CGI screen, give us an older gent any day of the week. It looks like the upcoming Wolverine 3 movie will follow the "Old Man Logan" storyline, proving once again that comic book movies isn't just a young man's game. When 43-year-old Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, some said he was too old, but as the Frank Miller/Dark Knight Returns era shows us, it is age which comes before beauty. You are only as old as you feel and let's be honest, Affleck has nothing on these guys, so let's look at the silver foxes of the comic book silver screen.

Geoff Johns Says Superman Won't Become a Nazi in DC Comics Rebirth
DC's Rebirth has been a tremendous success. The comic book reboot brought back a number of fan-favourite characters, while also breathing new life into DC's comic book sales with some excellent storytelling.
