THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2
THE PALE BLUE EYE---Christian Bale, Robert Duvall, Harry Melling, Gillian Anderson, Toby Jones and Lucy Boynton star in this Netflix movie based on the novel about West Point cadet Edgar Allan Poe investigating a series of murders at the military academy in 1830. Scott Cooper is the director.
STAN LEE---Timur Bekmambetov is developing a new cinematic universe based on unfilmed Stan Lee projects. The first of the two movies is SAWBONES in which a young boy reads a mysterious comic book and is transported into the comic book's universe centering on a haunted Juvenile Detention Center. CARNIVAL OF KILLERS is about a psychic girl and her mother who discover the traveling carnival they are with is a base for an alien invasion.
THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR---Miramax tv miniseries underway based on the upcoming novel about Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance after her husband's affair was made public in 1926. Christie and her husband's mistress team up to solve a murder.
ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING---Steve Martin posted a photo of the cast returning for Season 2. Also, Cara Delevigne will play Alice, an art world insider, in Season 2.
ANNE RICE'S MAYFAIR WITCHES---AMC+ tv series underway based on the Anne Rice novel trilogy.
THE PENGUIN---Danny DeVito wrote the story for a new DC comic book, "Bird Cat Love", about the romance between The Penguin and Catwoman. The comic book is part of the DC Comics GOTHAM CITY VILLAINS anthology book. DeVito commented about returning as The Penguin, "I feel like it's not out of the question that The Penguin will return someday, but this is all up to Tim [Burton], whether or not Tim wants to do this. I would say that could be in the cards because we ain't dead yet. We could do a continuation of what we had in the past because that was truly a brilliant movie. They afforded me that opportunity and I feel very grateful and would I like to revisit it? Why not!"
SECRET INVASION---Cobie Smulders will return as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill for the Disney+ tv series.
DEATHSTROKE---Joe Manganiello commented on if he might return as Deathstroke in a future project, “No, I let that go a while ago.”
TRIVIA---in STAR TREK, it is well known that Capt. James T. Kirk's middle initial stands for Tiberius. However, in the pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before", a headstone for Kirk is engraved "JAMES R. KIRK".

Burton’s Batman Returns truly was one of the best live-action Batman films. One of the best superhero films, in fact. The cast was perfect. The music was perfect. The art direction was perfect. The comically dark and twisted script was perfect. I don’t know if you can recapture lightning in a bottle, but if you can I sure wouldn’t mind if they got everybody back for a second go: Keaton, de Vito, Pfeiffer, Elfman…heck, even Walken (though Max was pretty crisp at the end there). They could call it Next Christmas to play off one of Catwoman’s final lines.

That one is my favorite of the Batman films.
It’s pure Christmassy Gothic perfection!
