Oscar Isaac casting rumors? Who could he be playing?

Todd Phillips’ The Joker is shaping up with more casting reveals including Alec Baldwin, the cast already includes Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro. The film will reportedly also include Wayne Manor as a location – could this mean there might be a young Bruce somewhere?

Matt Reeves shares some new insight about his vision, “very point-of-view noir-driven definitive Batman story” – What could that mean?

Is it the end for Batfleck?

What does this mean for Worlds of DC?

Could we see a potential Batman Beyond? Or could we see more stand-alone villain films a la Joker and Venom?

Episode IX production is underway and we have seen some of the set pics which have been leaked online – excitement and speculation?

Dominic Monaghan joins newcomers Kerri Russel, Richard E. Grant, Naomi Ackie and Ed Harris - an already stuffed cast for the hopeful epic finale of the Skywalker Saga.

On IMDB the storyline states, “The conclusion of the new 'Star Wars' trilogy.” Could this mean there might be more?

Could it be split into two parts? Should that happen?
