    MORE

    Breyfogle ​was an industry legend through and through, making up– along with Alan Grant– one half of one of the best Batman creative teams of all time. His work was moody and mysterious while still having an undeniable energy. Truly a perfect fit for the Dark Knight.

    Funeral arrangements for Breyfogle will be announced by the Erickson Crowley Peterson Funeral Home. The cause of his death has not yet been shared publicly.

    Breyfogle is best known for his epic run on the Batman comic books from 1987 to 1995. Breyfogle worked with Alan Grant on Detective Comics and introduced villains the Ventriloquist in their first Batman story and the Ratcacther in their third.

    Breyfogle drew Batman for six years (1987-1993), penciling Detective Comics from 1987-1990, then moving to the standalone Batman comic to introduce Tim Drake, the third Robin post Jason Todd, from 1990-1992, and finally starting a new Batman series for DC titled “Batman: Shadow of the Bat” from 1992-1993 which saw the Grant/Breyfogle team create three new characters, Jeremiah Arkham, Mr. Zsasz, and Amygdala.

    VENOM 2 will shoot for an R

    The trailers for VENOM look creepy. Frightening… over the top in violence and minimal in colorful laugh..

    But it only got a PG-13 despite promises from industry insiders that it would get an R rating..
    While the movie tried it didn’t make it .
    Maybe the sequel or series will I movie makers lists every to the advice of Star Tom Hardy.. 
    In a chat with MTV International this week, Venom star Tom Hardy said this: 
    It’s a PG-13 in the States. But to be fair, the thing can fulcrum into R-Rated,” Hardy told the outlet. “My littlest ones, they watch Spider-Man and Venom quite comfortably and Venom toys appear and LEGO appear in my nostril in the morning, you know what I mean? So it’s not like they’re scared by him. And at the same time there’s a lot within the real estate that you can actually imbue with a complete sense of gratuitous ultra-violence if you really wanted to, and I think you’ve got the right people for that job if you want to push it. That’s where I’d love to go with it.”

    Box office opiners ponder on how much Halloween will make

    This is the latest thought from insiders: The new John Carpenter revamp remake reimagining will make  somewhere between $50-$85 million opening weekend.


    That will be considered strong if it occurs …
    The movie cost about $10 mil to make..

    But what may also matter is staying power. The movie premieres only days before the actual Halloween on calendars so the film may not be relative beyond its initial week..

    And while some positive word of mouth and excitement have been generated by creative trailers, if the movie is just plain bad it could drop handily in dollars by Sunday opening weekend..

    Six more GOOSEBUMPS books are on the way!

    Darryn King on Medium got the scoop:

    “I don’t think authors retire,” Stine told King, when he was asked about his prolific career potentially coming to an end at some point. “I think of Robert B. Parker, who just dropped dead on the keyboard. I think that’s the way to go. Anyway, I just signed on to do six more Goosebumps books.”

    Stine joked, “Maybe some of them will be posthumous, I don’t know.”

    In the meantime, big screen sequel Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween arrives in theaters on October 12. As we learned this week, Jack Black will be reprising the role of R.L. Stine..

  • Do you love that Joker? Todd Phillips reveals Phoenix as the sad clown..

    Do you love that Joker? Todd Phillips reveals Phoenix as the sad clown..

    Instead of letting the paparazzi ruin the prize, Todd Phillips is going to fight back with his own images…

    This is the new JOKER…

    Director of the upcoming Joker film Todd Phillips has posted another shot of Joaquin Phoenix in makeup on Instagram, though this time he is decidedly in a full clown costume.

    The Instagram post is simply paired with the caption “Work” suggesting that this is Phoenix playing Arthur Fleck, the Joker prior to making his full transition into the Clown Prince of Crime. It appears that this version of the Joker worked as a literal clown, perhaps providing entertainment to audiences before being completely “disregarded by society.”

    What maybe is the most interesting is that Phillips chose to show this image instead of the now famous image of Phoenix behind the scenes on the subway.
