It’s a question filmmakers have grappled with ever since Tim Burton’s glossy, stylised 1989 movie Batman. That picture brought us Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader, a soundtrack by Prince and an outrageous turn by Jack Nicholson as Batman’s arch-nemesis The Joker. It was high-budget, high-camp – and thoroughly entertaining. Ironically, the DC Comics’ character had taken a darker turn just two years earlier with the release of Frank... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3168776/batman-robert-pattinson-matt-reeves-and-john-turturro-caped?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3168776/batman-robert-pattinson-matt-reeves-and-john-turturro-caped?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 01 Mar 2022 20:15:20 +0000 A decade after they starred together in the last of the Twilight Saga, Robert Pattinson is starring in The Batman while Kristen Stewart is up for the Oscar for best actress for her role in the Princess Diana biopic, Spencer. But how much cash have they earned since they played Edward and Bella?

Matt Reeves has done that with The Batman. A rain-soaked noir, this is darker – in more ways than one – than any previous Caped Crusader chronicle, with Reeves crafting a film that exists largely in the night-time gloom. A vigilante, Batman (played impressively by Robert Pattinson) is on the fringes of the law – his only supporter on the inside being Gotham... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3168631/batman-movie-review-robert-pattinson-plays-caped-crusader?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3168631/batman-movie-review-robert-pattinson-plays-caped-crusader?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 28 Feb 2022 17:00:16 +0000 Batman has been a popular theme for high-end watchmakers. Over the years, we’ve seen many special edition watches inspired by the “Caped Crusader”, including several by Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet, who last year also released a Black Panther watch.

But rejoice, Warner Bros recently announced that the cast will reunite for an anniversary special to be released in January 2022. The films – based on the now-controversial author J.K.

While many blockbuster roles are doled out without so much as an audition – or even outright written with a star in mind – most movie productions still demand that actors screen test in front of the cameras.

It was Riley who replaced Pattinson at the last minute in a 2005 stage production of The Woman Before at London’s Royal Court Theatre.

Bennahmias said he spent more than a decade trying to realise this partnership without any success – until friend and actor Don Cheadle, who plays War Machine in The Avengers films, made a phone call to Marvel on his behalf.  But Bennahmias did share a few details that may have been clues to what the... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3128956/black-panther-stars-marvel-and-audemars-piguets-limited?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3128956/black-panther-stars-marvel-and-audemars-piguets-limited?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 10 Apr 2021 22:00:16 +0000 Wendel Bezerra, a voice-over artist in Sao Paulo, Brazil, won modest fame when he became the Portuguese-language voice of SpongeBob SquarePants a couple of decades ago.
