Kristen Stewart has her say on Robert Pattinson playing Batman

Sep 9, 2019

Kristen Stewart has finally had her say about her ex-boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, scoring the role of Batman.

The actress seemed thrilled that her Twilight co-star will take over the role from Ben Affleck, telling a reporter; "I feel like he’s the only guy that could play that part."

Superhero movies are showing no sign of becoming less popular, with the characters getting rebooted and rewritten as long as studios (*cough* Disney/Warner Bros *cough*) can keep making money.

The Batman, starring Edward Cullen himself, is due to be released in 2021 as a Bruce Wayne remake, because we really need more of those.

Pattinson spent many of his post-Twilight years talking about how much he hated being in blockbusters, and accepted parts in low-budget, indie movies.

The actor has recently been spotted in Timothee Chalamet's Henry V Netflix flick; The King. Robert playing such a famous character seems, well, out of character.

While at the TIFF film festival this weekend, she spoke about her ex's new role with Variety, saying she was over the moon for Rob.

"I feel like he’s the only guy that could play that part. I'm so happy for him. It's crazy. I'm very, very happy about that. I heard that and I was like, 'Oh man!' It's awesome."

We're glad Kristen is supportive of her ex-boyfriend, especially after they were photographed together for the first time in five years last summer.

Maybe they've repaired their relationship following their dramatic split? Who can forget the cheating scandal with her Snow White And The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.

DC fans have woken up to a MASSIVE treat, thanks to the gift that is Margot Robbie.

We're also drooling over that tassled jacket she's wearing, which is sure to spawn a load of knock-off versions. Knock-off versions that we will obviously be buying…

It's a definite change compared to the pink and blue-haired, baseball bat wielding Harley that we know and love, but we're going to embrace the change.

The 28-year-old actress shared the lewk from the solo film set, which is set to produce the film for a 2020 release.

In the newest flick, Harley Quinn will join forces with Black Canary and Huntress to save the life of Cassandra Cain from Gotham City crime lord, Black Mask.

We're also ADORING the fact that the movie has a female director- Cathy Yan. The look is definitely Japanese-inspired, but we're here for it. Gwen Stefani also has a clear influence, style icon that she is.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is playing the role of Huntress, and Jurnee Smollett is acting as Black Canary, so it's a female-centred plot THANK GOD. Jared Leto took way too much credit away from Robbie in the last outing.

Harley deserves far more attention, she's an absolute BO$$.

It's been a long week, and it's only Tuesday.

The need for good quality content in our lives is at an all time high if we want to make it to Christmas in one piece.

There's still six days away, and only some seriously gas online material will help us to survive, and some serious self-care.

Luckily for the entire internet, Noah Centineo has delivered once again.

Otherwise known as the boyfriend of the online community, when Noah was a mere sixteen-years-old, we appeared to be already rehearsing for his role as public heart-throb.

Fans have stealthily dug up footage of himself belting out Boyfriend by our old pal Justin Bieber, while dressed as Batman…in a candlelit room…

Yes, we can confirm it's as hilarious as it sounds. Take a look;

We're still laughing that the title of the video is literally 'Boyfriend by Justin Bieber Super Hero Swag', uploaded by Centineo's pal Jack Griffo.

God bless you, Jack Griffo, for gifting us with this glorious content.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.

Global icon ‘Batkid’ is now cancer free and we are SOBBING

Nov 16, 2018

by Amber Saunders

You may remember the most adorable child on the planet who got to save the world for a day, otherwise known as Batkid.

Back in 2013, the Make a Wish Foundation shut down and transformed the streets of San Francisco for 24 hours in order to allow five-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott to achieve his dream.

It's safe to say he won the entire world's heart. Anyone who had the privilege of watching him race through Gotham and defeat villains like the Joker and the Penguin as well as rescue citizens witnessed pure joy.

Unsurprisingly, Batkid became a sensation as the mini-superhero, everyone fell in love with the youngster as well as sending him prayers and well wishes for his brave battle with cancer.

It was MAJOR news at the time, even Barack Obama adorably chimed in to thank Miles for his services to the city:

As if this story wasn't heartwarming enough, it has now emotional been revealed that Miles is CANCER FREE. We're not crying, you're crying…

The youngster is now officially in remission, we wonder if his superpowers had anything to do with it?

His story was even mde into a 2015 documentary entitled Batkid Begins, which tells the inspirational story of the little boy as well as how the whole event was organised by Make a Wish Foundation and the San Francisco mayor at the time, Ed Lee.

The charity has said that Miles has returned to normality (in disguise):

"Since his crime fighting day five years ago, Miles has returned to being a typical kid – playing little league, going to school, helping his family farm, and even selling his first market goat in the local fair! Now 10 years old and in fifth grade, Miles loves science and robotics."

Batkid, who is now ten-years-old, featured on the San Francisco Bay Area Make a Wish Foundation Twitter account as a success story, for beating his illness:

Five years ago today, Miles Scott became Batkid and the world cheered him on. Now 10 years old, Miles is a happy, healthy 5th grader and has been in remission from leukemia ever since! Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits and can produce better health outcomes. pic.twitter.com/icrqwBPSgh

We are so delighted for Miles and his family, he is truly an uplifting superhero who inspires us all.

Pay-day: now Ben and Jen’s nanny has a cool €900K offer on the table

Aug 23, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Apparently, she's been inundated with offers of lucrative reality TV slots and highly-paid tell-all interviews

And while there's no word yet on what Christine Ouzounian's next move is, it seems the former nanny of Ben Affleck and 44-year-old Jennifer Garner has a €900,000 pay-cheque in the offing – if she fancies turning to porn.

Yes, the 28-year-old – who is rumoured to have had an affair with 43-year-old Hollywood superstar Ben – has a parody XXX Batwoman role with her name on it.

Mr Affleck, of course, is the next Batman, with his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice being released next year.

TMZ says it has exclusively learned that porn parody producer and director Axel Braun is offering Christine $1million (€880,000) to to play the female caped crusader: she'd have to act for two weeks and do three sex scenes.

There is as yet no word on whether Christine is interested in more risque projects, but she's reportedly chasing fame anyway,

According to PageSix, the young woman is certainly hoping her newfound notoriety will make her a household name.

Earlier this month, the same site revealed she's looking for a Hollywood agent and has her sights firmly set on getting a high-profile reality TV show.

The goal is to be cast on The Bachelorette or Dancing With The Stars, it was claimed – and she wants to make sure she secures a six-figure fee at the same time.

Real life superhero has died after his Batmobile broke down

One man in America has been dressing up as Batman and visiting sick children in hospital. However, the sad news has been announced that he has died following an accident with this 'batmobile'.

Lenny B. Robinson from Maryland had a custom Lamborghini which was modelled on the Batmobile and had a Batman symbol on the license plate.

Last night Lenny was killed when his car broke down on the high way. The Washington Post reported that the 51-year-old was driving home when he experienced some engine trouble and he pulled over at around 10:30 pm.

It is reported that he stopped "partially in the fast lane" and began to check the engine for any problems. At this time, another car hit the Batmobile, which in turn proceeded to strick Lenny who was standing in front of the car.

The father-of-three was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene and the other driver was left uninjured.

Lenny has been extremely popular in the media in 2012 when people began to notice him visiting sick children in hospital dressed as the super hero.

Scott Robinson is Lenny's older brother and he explained that he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy his car, costume and the toys he brought to the children every time he visited.

The everyday hero visited patients all over Maryland and Washington DC while bringing them bracelets with the Batman symbol on them. When speaking about his brother, Scott said: "He touched a lot of lives and made a lot of kids smile. That's all he wanted to do."

The Dark Knight Rises in Galway: Irishman’s design goes viral

If you live in Spiddal and thought you saw Batman recently, you’re not seeing things after all.

Julian Checkley has created one of the best Batman costumes the internet has ever seen.

Galway based Julian runs the Order 66 Creatures and Effects studio in Ireland and created the amazing costume based on the Batsuit from Batman: Arkham Origins. We honestly wouldn’t mind Ben Affleck taking a trip to Galway to try it on for size.

Julian and his team in Galway designed the costume and ordered the 3D-prints from a company in Canada.

After having them delivered to Ireland the team cleaned them up and put the whole costume together. And it is mind blowing. When asked how it really feels to be the Batman, Julian keeps it real: “At first you feel like a bit of an idiot: you're a 45-year old guy dressed in a Batman suit.”

Soz, Ben Affleck, turns out you’re not that cool after all.

Julian has said that putting the costume together involves airbrushing and making an undervest that isn’t just lightweight, but flexible too. Important to for leaping around Eyre Square after villains we’re sure.

Galway residents were left a bit baffled when they spotted Batman charging around town like a true comic book hero. With the help of professional photographer Kamil Krawczak Julian donned the suit and unleashed his inner superhero.

He took to Galway city’s rooftops to photograph the suit in all its fabulous glory.

The suit has taken the internet by storm with images going viral on popular sites Reddit and imgur.

Julian has even had his work featured in The Irish Times and gotten a shout out from Ville-Valtteri Kinnunen, who designed the Batsuit for the popular Batman video game. Impressive.

An Irish Batman out on the streets? If someone has €8,000 to spare then it could become a reality.

Oscars cancel ‘Batkid’ segment, Spiderman saves the day

‘Batkid’ was funded by the Make-a-Wish Foundation and saw 5 year-old Miles Scotts’ dream of being Batman for a day come true.

Miles is recovering from lymphoblastic leukaemia. The entire city of San Francisco got involved and even President Barack Obama had a role. See the video above.

‘Batkid’ was supposed to be honoured at this year’s Oscars ceremony.

When the producers of Sunday’s Oscars ceremony were forced to cancel Batkid’s segment, no one was more upset that Andrew Garfield.

It was arranged that Miles and his family would go to Disneyland where Andrew drove down to meet them.

The Academy have taken full responsibility for the unfortunate event saying: “Due to the nature of a live show, hard decisions sometimes must be made which require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production.”

It is not known if this incident has anything to do with Emma Stone’s unexplained absence at the awards ceremony.

Jada Pinkett Smith to star as “sadistic gangster boss” in Gotham

We love the sound of this new TV show, Gotham.

Set to be a prequel to the Batman days it will star Ben McKenzie (Ryan from The O.C.) and Jada Pinkett Smith as Fishy Mooney.

The young Bruce Wayne is yet to be announced but we hope it’s someone good. We even have a few suggestions if they’d listen…

Jada is set to star as a gangster boss who is described as “imposing, hotheaded and notoriously sadistic”. We can’t wait!

There should definitely be more roles like this for women. We think Jada is going to kill it.

Jennifer Lawrence calls Christian Bale “fatman”

Oh Jen, you really do keep us young.

The starlet has spoken about her disappointment following the kissing scenes she shared with on-screen husband Christian Bale in new movie American Hustle.

American Hustle director David O. Russell, who was spilling the beans on Jen’s real thoughts on her scenes with Christian Bale, recalls her saying: “I finally get to make out with Christian Bale and he’s a really fat guy. He’s Fatman, not Batman.”

To be fair, Bale isn’t exactly in the best shape of his life in the film and is a long way from his portrayal of Bruce Wayne in the Batman franchise, but for someone who got make out on screen with Bradley Cooper, we feel you have nothing to complain about, Jennifer!
