Court of Owls to Rule a Darker Gotham in The Batman 2 Rumors

Rumors suggest The Batman Part II will introduce the Court of Owls as a darker, more domestic Gotham threat, with Sebastian Stan possibly playing Harvey Dent/Two-Face or Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry attached as Dent, while Scarlett Johansson’s role remains unconfirmed and Barry Keoghan’s Joker may linger in Arkham; the Court would be a sins-made-flesh foe rather than an invading force, signaling a bolder, grimmer sequel, though no official casting has been confirmed as production moves forward.

Boll Defends Citizen Vigilante, Says Hammer Was ‘Perfect’ On Set

Uwe Boll defends Citizen Vigilante, saying Armie Hammer was perfect for the role and that they had a great time despite the film’s serious subject matter; Boll argues the movie will polarize audiences but has strong reception among viewers (citing 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.5 on Amazon) and emphasizes audience impact over critics. Hammer’s camp previously said he was unhappy with the final cut, calling it hateful, amid his broader public troubles and a career downturn.

Hammer’s Comeback Film Sparks Debate Over Its Right-Wing Lean

Slate’s Rebecca Onion argues Armie Hammer’s tears over Citizen Vigilante don’t absolve him of awareness of the film’s violent, anti-migrant angle; the piece suggests Hammer likely knew the project leaned right, notes the Elon Musk-promoted virality and payoffs for a sequel, and underscores the broader backlash surrounding his return to spotlight.

Nolan’s The Odyssey: An IMAX Epic Influenced by Jaws, Scorsese and The Last Temptation

Christopher Nolan explains that The Odyssey channels influences from Jaws, Alien, and Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, while blending mythic spectacle with a human, fallible Odysseus. Filmed entirely in IMAX, the epic stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, and is expected to open around $120 million, marking Nolan’s most ambitious non-franchise start and a return to intimate emotion after Oppenheimer.

Studio Tug-of-War Shaped Supergirl’s Theatrical Run

THR reports that Supergirl’s rocky release stemmed from creative clashes between director Craig Gillespie and James Gunn, plus post-production tweaks and two competing cuts; Warner Bros. released Gunn’s version after a test that favored it overall, while Gillespie’s longer cut wasn’t re-tested. The result contributed to a disappointing opening, and DC Studios is adjusting its slate with projects like Clayface and Man of Tomorrow, while Gunn’s influence persists through spin-offs such as DC Crime and Mr. Terrific.
