First of all, let's look over the plot summary of the Dark Knight trilogy as the definitive Batman story on film. As a young boy, Bruce Wayne's parents are killed in front of him and thus decides to travel the world for many years to find his life purpose with the aid of the League of Shadows…

Rumors are everywhere these days, and we always take them with a grain of salt, but if even one of today's batch of 'Justice League' rumors is true, a new era may be dawning at Warner Brothers. According to Latino Review,…

Mt. Everest is more than a mountain. It has become synonymous with any and all seemingly insurmountable challenges. This is most likely due the sheer number of people who have died attempting to scale the world's highest peak. In 1996, three different expeditions were besieged by a blinding snowstorm that, by…

Joe Manganiello as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman. Okay, take away the beard and then you have an excellent person for Superman in a Justice League movie. Not only has he stated that he wanted to play Superman really badly in the upcoming Man of…

Before I begin my review for this hotly anticipated movie, it feels only necessary to first send my deepest sympathies to the families, and survivors of the horrific shooting at a theatre in Aurora. It was not what anyone would wish to be connected to the movie, and is a tragedy that should never have happened. Despite the great loss the level of…

The Dark Knight Rises, arguably the biggest movie of the year, is here. In fact, it’s so big that a single podcast couldn’t contain it. This week on The Plot Hole, the gang – Sam, Simon, Steven and myself – talk everything Batman in a two-parter nearly as epic as the film itself.



In the first half, you can find our discussion on the two teaser trailers for Man of Steel (one of which would have been attached to your screening of The Dark Knight Rises)…

'THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' REVIEW - THE IMAX EXPERIENCE

"Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." -…

Four years of build-up can do quite a lot. It gets the people pumped to see what's going to happen next, it raises the expectations considerably since the team behind the film is taking their time and since it's the end, people desperately want to know the fate of all…

Addressing Concerns Over Nolan's Final Batman Film

                                                  Batman: "BANE! Look at what the fuck you did to Gotham!"

Without a doubt, a majority of…

The marketing blitz for Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' rises continues. A brand new trailer for the film just hit the web and I'll be damned if it's not fantastic. I love the way the first half is edited, and the shot of Batman (…

I'm really touchy about spoilers, and tend to go into hyper-precautionary mode when it comes to TV spots. More often than not, the TV spots are what divulge the biggest spoilers. However, I am happy to say that nearly all the footage from this first most recent 'Dark Knight Rises' TV spot is compiled from other trailers and clips we've already seen. I do like the way it's edited together to…

As we move closer and closer to July, and move slightly out of the wake of 'The Avengers' titanic success, I suspect the marketing for 'The Dark Knight Rises' will get more and more aggressive. Today, a quartet of new banners for the film hit the web. They aren't too spectacular, but they play to both the…

Why is it that whenever we post a new image, trailer, or poster for
 Christopher Nolan's 
'The Dark Knight Rises' I can hear
 Bane's followers chanting? It must be because I am completely crazy...excited to see the upcoming
 Batman film. We've known for a while now that…

At this point, I don't need to see any more footage, stills, or trailers to increase my desire to see Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises;' I'm pretty maxed out on excitement. However, I'm not about to deprive our faithful Spillios of these things. To wit, I offer these three recently released…

Based on the Impostors arc from DC comic's Detective Comics #867-870, which is partly based off the Jokerz gang from Batman Beyond and Sons of Batman from Dark Knight Returns. The set up is basic, batman's out of town so "The Bats", a bunch of Average Joes dressed up in their own ghetto versions of the cape and cowl, get a bunch of guns and attempt to protect the city. At the same time, a bunch of dudes who are joker-obsessed dress up like the clown and of course them and the Batmen come…

Cinema Blend reports that Termintor 5 will be rated "R" after getting poor returns on Terminator Salvation that was rated "PG-13"

Personally I didn't feel the movie was that bad an experience but the story and especially lead actor Christian Bale were pretty bad.   Bale seemed like he was just playing his…
