First Look: Matt Reeves Unveils Robert Pattinson As THE BATMAN

Director Matt Reeves has unveiled the first official look at Robert Pattinson as The Batman. It’s a mean and moody ‘camera test’ which shows s stylistic look at Pattison as The Dark Knight. I’m a little torn with this. [...]

THE BATMAN Begins

Movies In Focus doesn’t have the interest or energy to partake in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, I’ll always have time for Batman. I’ve been a fan ever since Tim Burton’s take on the character blew my mind back in [...]

You Know What? The WONDER WOMAN 1984 Trailer Is Pretty Cool

Movies In Focus half enjoyed Patty Jenkins‘ Wonder Woman. Maybe more that half – let’s say 3/4. The nausea-inducing CGI finale was way too much but Gal Gadot delivered big time. She’s the secret weapon of DC Comics movies on [...]

THE BATMAN: Casting Continues For Matt Reeves’ Superhero Reboot

The Best Scene In Tim Burton’s BATMAN

Tim Burton‘s Batman is 30 years old. It’s crazy to write that – I remember seeing it on the big screen back in 1989. I was nine years old. Thirty years before 1989 was 1959 – a very different era. The world went Batman crazy [...]

Hey Matt Reeves! Cast Richard E. Grant As Alfred In THE BATMAN

Look, Movies In Focus isn’t usually one for fan-casting. Sure, we all have ideas for who we would like to see in certain roles, but those sorts of dreams usually lead to broken hearts. However, the mighty Richard E. Grant needs to be cast [...]

The JOKER Trailer Is Incredibly Well Cut; It Might Deliver The Goods

We don’t know if we really need Todd Phillips‘ Joker, nor do we know what it’s really about. However, this teaser trailer makes it look good. Really good in fact. I know it’s very hard to judge a movie or a performance from a [...]

Put On A Happy Face: First Poster Showing Joaquin Phoenix As The JOKER

Movies In Focus is curious about Todd Phillips’ Joker. I think Joaquin Phoenix is a perfect fit for the role of the Clown Prince of Crime but I don’t know if the Joker works as a stand-alone character away from Batman. I want somebody to [...]
