Will "Batman" actor "bale" on a "Justice League" movie?


One thing that entertainment news shows and websites have in common is that they report on rumours floating around the ether in regards to upcoming movie projects and the names that might possibly be attached to them.

This article continues in that proud tradition of saying, "Here's some juicy movie gossip".

In the wake of the extremely popular "Avengers" movie- and even before it, there has been rumours of Warner Bros. and DC Comics putting out a "Justice League" movie.  The current round of rumours surrounding this project are pretty much as follows:
1.  Warner Bros is courting Christopher Nolan of the recent "Dark Knight" trilogy to be involved with pretty much EVERY superhero project at the studio.  Nolan is also responsible for bringing Superman to audiences with "Man of Steel".  This rumour has been enhanced by the fact that a re-write of the "Justice League" script was ordered a few months ago;
2.  Zack Snyder is also supposedly tapped to work as producer on this movie;
3.  Batman himself- Christian Bale is possibly being wooed in order to return as Batman in "Justic League", with Henry Cavill coming back in his role of Superman.

Some reports say that Warner Bros is doing what they can to make the script appealing enough for Bale to return as Batman.  However, rumour also has it that he may be asked to star in a "World's Finest" movie based on the Batman and Superman team-up comic.

In my opinion, having Christiam Bale play Batman in a "Justice League" movie would be fitting- but it might also be walking that fine line between the gritty realism of the "Dark Knight" trilogy and the slightly more fantastic tone that accompanies the Superman character.  At present though, before this movie can be made, the studio should introduce two of the main founders of the Justice League- Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter.

I also have to wonder if the recently unpopular Green Lantern of the CGI suit will make an appearance...

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
