I think that what…

Although Batman is a fictional superhero, it’s always pleasant seeing the actors behind the mask take on their own heroic qualities. This was showcased last night during NBC’s Red Nose Day, where celebrities gathered to raise money for children worldwide. Actor Ben Affleck happened to be one of the celebrities helping raise money, and spent his time answering kids’ questions during a comedy sketch. Funnily enough, the video has him imitate previous Batman actor Christian Bale’s iconic voice. Affleck is eventually asked by one of the children to do the Batman voice, which he agrees to in a deeper voice,…

It was a terrible revelation when Zack Snyder announced his departure from the upcoming Justice League adaptation. His decision to leave was fueled by a horrific tragedy that no person should have to endure. Warner Bros. clearly understood and allowed Snyder to leave before supposedly replacing him with Joss Whedon to complete the project. But now it seems Whedon was a part of the project well before Snyder’s tragedy occurred. Whedon had previously joined Warner Bros. to simply write and direct their upcoming Batgirl adaptation.

Jason Voorhees is one of the most iconic and legendary villains in cinema. Although he didn’t officially appear until Friday the 13th Part 2, he’s gone on to evolve throughout the entire series and represents a great variety of thematic symbols. Of course, there are still plenty of questions when it comes to just what makes Jason tick – and I’m not talking about why he always comes back from the grave. I’m referring to the motivations going on behind Mr. Voorhees’ hockey mask, and YouTuber TylersSoap took it upon himself to explain them. His diagnosis begins by elaborating on…
