Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino today unveiled a main theme for Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which is set for release in the U.S. on March 4.
The upcoming superhero film picks up with the Caped Crusader (played by Robert Pattinson) in his second year of fighting crime, watching as he uncovers corruption in Gotham City that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known as the Riddler (Paul Dano). Zoë Kravitz is playing the role of Catwoman, with Colin Farrell transforming himself into the Penguin. Barry Keoghan, Peter Sarsgaard, Amber Sienna, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright and John Turturro round out the cast.
Reeves wrote the pic with Peter Craig and produced it with Dylan Clark, with Simon Emmanuel, Walter Hamada, Michael E. Uslan and Chantal Nong Vo serving as its exec producers, and Toby Hefferman as associate producer. Deadline confirmed today that...

Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, will be the longest Dark Knight pic in history at a runtime of two hours and 55 minutes, Deadline has confirmed. The news first surfaced as the film received its PG-13 rating from the MPAA.
Set for release in the U.S. on March 4, The Batman is also one of the longest superhero films in history, boasting eight minutes’ worth of credits alone. It follows Avengers: Endgame, which came in at three hours and one minute, as the longest to hit theaters. And while Zack Snyder’s Justice League went straight to HBO Max last March, it’s the longest overall, at a runtime of four hours and two minutes.
The past Batman films closest to Reeves’ in length are Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, and Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which came in at the same length as the first Dark Knight.

To say that Solo: A Star Wars Story is chock-full of Easter eggs and callbacks to the Star Wars films of old would be to deal in wild understatement.
From Empire Strikes Back to a surprise cameo from [redacted], Ron Howard’s space western was undoubtedly steeped in the rich DNA of Star Wars, and it’s a credit to the Oscar-winning director that he was able to course-correct Lucasfilm’s second Anthology pic after coming in to replace Phil Lord and Chris Miller at the helm.
Though it seems Howard almost snuck another Easter egg into Solo – well, two, actually. As co-writer Jon Kasdan tells ComicBook.com, the Star Wars spinoff initially carved out room for Tag and Bink, two well-known characters from the Expanded Universe (aka Legends), only to remove them at the 11th hour.
One of the things we went back and forth on a lot is that...

While Solo: A Star Wars Story continues to fight to make more money at the box office, some new details have surfaced that shed some light on some deleted scenes that we didn't see in the film.
With all of the behind-the-scenes drama of Solo, it's not surprising to learn that a few things ended up on the cutting room floor. But during a recent interview with Indiewire, screenwriters Lawrence and Jon Kasdan revealed that 90% of their script ended up on the big screen.
They revealed one significant scene that didn’t make the final cut, and that includes Han Solo's days as he trained as an Imperial soldier and getting kicked out of the pilot training. Jon said:
"Yeah, so did we! In fact, we hope, and I believe that when you finally get a Blu-ray of this movie, you’ll see a terrific scene with Han in aerial...

Han Solo: Director Ron Howard (above) shared a new photo (below) from behind the scenes of the Han Solo movie that is currently filming. The caption refers to Tag Greenley and Bink Otahuna, two Imperial officers who appeared in comic books that are fan favorites but are not part of the official Star Wars canon. Jon Kasdan, who cowrote the spin-off movie, later confirmed the reference; Kasdan and second unit director Toby Hefferman will appear as the characters.

If you don't get the reference I'll explain. Tag and Bink are the main characters in a series of non-canon comic books that spoof Star Wars, they are by Kevin Rubio. But now, thanks to Han Solo writer Jon Kasdan the pair seem to have shed the "non-canon" classification. He confirmed their appearence via twitter.
Thank You, Kevin. I'm a huge fan and I had to get 'em in there, and then had to play it myself (with Toby Hefferman) to do it justice

Kasdan is even going as far as playing one of the characters,...
