The Giver is set in a peaceful, colorless community where human suffering is at an all-time minimum.. All but the keeper of the community's memories (Bridges) are oblivious to the harsh reality of the past, which has been shielded from their awareness for generations. In the film, Jonas "begins to spend time with" the Giver and soon discovers the dark and deadly truths of his secret past.

Just like pretty much all action films, comic book movies generally contain a certain amount of violence. Most of it is rather tame, as these features are made for mass appeal and typically shoot for a PG-13 rating, but punching, kicking and use of weapons are all par for the course. As demonstrated in multiple trailers and other marketing materials released over the last few months, James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy won't really be doing anything to break that mold, as both heroes and villains alike all take part in some kind of ass-kicking. But you wouldn't necessarily know that looking at the movie's most recent international poster, released for markets down in Latin America.

The Weinstein Company released nine new photos, all of which focus on Jonas and his friend Fiona... The previously released trailer gives away quite a bit about the plot, but all signs point toward the movie taking some big liberties with the source material, likely in an effort to bring the story more toward the tone (and audience) of the more successful book-to-screen adaptations in recent years. Whether or not it works out for the better remains to be seen. In the meantime, the trailer indicates that Fiona will play more than just a peer and vague crush for Jonas, as she is in the book. The trailer shows Jonas leaning in for a kiss with Fiona, and this photo shows another lip-to-lip moment between the two characters This time, it looks like she's taking a more active role in the smooch, as she has one hand on his arm and the other behind his neck.

So what's the deal here? The director has previously revealed that Jurassic World star Chris Pratt (soon to be seen in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy) is playing a scientist who is doing behavioral research on Velociraptors.

In addition to Pratt, Jurassic World also co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Judy Greer, Jake Johnson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Ty Simpkins, BD Wong, and Omar Sy. The script, written by Colin Trevorrow and Pat Crowley, is set 30 years after the first movie in the series, but rather than being a story about someone once again trying to build a park, the new sequel starts with Jurassic Park being a sustainable hit. Of course, ti doesn't stay that way for too long.

Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled for December 18, 2015... and Bob Iger prays they don't alter it any further. Following the parting of ways between Edgar Wright and Marvel Studios over the upcoming comic book movie Ant-Man, it was Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn of all people who stepped out into the spotlight and really said all the right things to try and calm irate fans down. In an open letter posted on his Facebook page, the filmmaker compared the situation to being very good friends with both sides of a couple going through a breakup - you can't choose sides; you can only try and understand where both sides are coming from. It was a smart, reasoned response, and one recently echoed by Iron Man and Iron Man 2 helmer Jon Favreau while commenting on the situation.



Watch Transformers Age of Extinction online



Watch X Men Days of Future Past Online



Continuing to do press for his brand new indie film Chef, Favreau was asked by Shortlist.com for his take on the whole Edgar Wright/Marvel Studios split. With a deep understanding of the way things work at Marvel Studios and a close relationship with Wright, the director responded, "Edgar’s a dear friend of mine – I was so looking forward to his version of Ant-Man. All Edgar’s films have been studio films, it’s not like he’s never made one before. I think he’s been used to a situation where he can have tremendous creative say around his story and casting, and Marvel has built an entire franchise around their style of telling stories. I know both parties well, and I respect his decision to see that he wasn’t going to be fulfilled in the process. That’s all I can really say."



Watch Frozen Online



Remember when Star Wars: Episode VII's production schedule was running smoothly, Watch Think Like A Man Too Online and we started to get those genuinely good feelings that maybe, just maybe this was going to be the movie to turn the brand around? J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy were adamant about not overusing CGI and actually shooting on location, on 35mm film nonetheless! Abrams appeared in a video with a puppet to show off some of the new creations for the film's menagerie of characters, and he even trolled us about the Millennium Falcon's presence in the movie. But sure enough, Hollywood is teaching us yet again that everything we love must be tested in the fires of conflict. Rumors are now surfacing that the film's release date just might be the cause of a row between the Abrams camp and Disney CEO Robert Iger.



Anyhow, Overnight has been penned by Oren Uziel, Watch Deliver Us from Evil Online who contributed to the screenplay for 22 Jump Street and wrote the upcoming horror-comedy Kitchen Sink. The plot for Overnight is said to center on an absent-minded dad who is struggling to preserve his relationship with his son after divorce. Also stuffed in there, he has to defuse a hostage situation, presumably at a toy store.



The Wrap has not only gotten word that The Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont is now lining up to direct Snow White and the Huntsman 2, but also that the film will be shifting gears to focus the Huntsman - played by Chris Hemsworth - and is cutting Kristen Stewart out of the story completely. The script is still being put together so nothing is permanent at this stage (sadly no writer is mentioned), but the trade says that "if Stewart does return, her appearance [will] likely be limited to a cameo or a handful of brief scenes." If this does pan out, we can probably expect that the title of the project will drop the "Snow White" part. Perhaps just The Huntsman?

If Latino Review's latest scoop is to be believed, it looks like a debate over the release date to Star Wars: Episode VII has broken out between J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy, who want to stall for a more traditional May 2016 release date, and Bob Iger, who is dead set on meeting the December 18th, 2015 opening currently in play. As if that wasn't enough of a pain in the asteroid belt, Latino Review has speculated that J.J. Abrams might have lost his spot on the rest of the trilogy due to this argument, as well as his rejection of Michael Ardnt's screenplay work in favor of his own.



Watch Transformers 4 online



Watch The Fault in Our Stars Online



Of course, the Latino Review piece is rampant with a whole bunch of other speculation, including a report that says Lucasfilm Publicity officially has stated that Harrison Ford's injury hasn't delayed production on Star Wars: Episode VII at all, and that Rian Johnson's hiring was because of J.J. Abrams' previously mentioned artistic differences with Disney. If I might be allowed a little bit of speculation on my end, I'd say Bob Iger doesn't want to delay Star Wars: Episode VII's release date because his contract with Disney goes until 2016. Depending on the details of the chairman's contract, I wonder if he might not be able to fully reap the benefits of having the film on his resume if he leaves before it's released. The current holiday season release date leaves the movie in a prime tentpole release date that Disney is familiar with, and it keeps Star Wars: Episode VII on Bob Iger's CV.

Watch Earth to Echo Online



Of course, Favreau's own history with Marvel isn't exactly spotless either. Watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 Online As we've written about before, the director had numerous creative differences with the studio while making Iron Man 2, both feeling rushed into production and not wanting to devote so much of the movie towards fleshing out the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ultimately, however, there was peace, as Favreau served as an Executive Producer on The Avengers and reprised his role as bodyguard Happy Hogan in Shane Black's Iron Man 3.



In an earlier incarnation, Overnight was called Overnight at 42nd Street. Watch Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Online This title plus the allusion to FAO Schwarz suggests the film will be set in New York City. Whether or not it will shoot there is currently unknown. Steve Pink has recently wrapped on Hot Tub Time Machine 2, but has two other features in the works. The first is a a possible Will Ferrell vehicle called The Yank, while the other is Vacation Friends, a comedy that has real-life husband and wife Chris Pratt and Anna Faris attached. We don't yet know where Overnight might fit into Pink and Disney's busy schedules.



How does this relate to Home Alone? Watch Transformers 4 online Our best guess is that either the father and son have to work together, turning the toy store into a labyrinth of booby-traps to trip up the movie's hostage taking villains. Or perhaps Overnight will take a cue from White House Down, meaning father and son will have to divide and conquer, leaving the boy more to his own devices. Still, we suspect snares and pitfalls made of toys will factor in. Why else cite Home Alone? Plus, the opportunity to market new sweet toys to kids at Christmas is just how Disney rolls. There's plenty of opportunity of that here.



Not so long ago, Sony Pictures was producing this family-friendly romp. Watch Transformers Age of Extinction online But after Overnight went into turnaround, Disney scooped it up. Earlier this year, the studio approached Ruben Fleischer, of Zombieland fame and Gangster Squad infamy, to direct. But THR said they never made it past early talks with the would-be helmer.



If Star Wars: Episode VII is going to work, J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, and Bob Iger definitely need to be on the same page, and better still I think should go public with some clarifying information regarding the more speculative aspects of production. If they don't speak up soon, the rumors are going to only keep multiplying, which will only make the public more confused as to just how they should feel about the next chapter of the Star Wars saga.

Back in 2012, the fairy tale epic Snow White and the Huntsman turned out to be a pretty mixed bag. Made for a high $170 million, the film was able to make nearly $400 million at the global box office, but it also suffered the wrath of sequel or spin-off for years, but nothing has ever materialized. Now something is finally coming together, but it's probably nothing like what you thought it was going to be.

This news comes from The Wrap, which adds that Universal Pictures will be distributing the movie as part of their deal with Legendary, and that Guillermo Del Toro is returning to direct with a script that he is co-writing with Zak Penn. The plan is to release the film in both 3D and IMAX 3D, though it's unclear if that fact will be affecting the filmmaking process. Rather than filming with 3D, the first Pacific Rim was post-converted, though that's partially because the movie wasn't always planned to be in that format. Even if Del Toro chooses not to film in native 3D, I wonder if he might experiment a bit with the IMAX cameras.

And maybe even some new info about the Netflix shows that are in development! Needless to say, there is a lot to be excited for.

San Diego Comic-Con 2014 will be running from July 23rd to July 27th , and, as per usual, we can probably expect that the Marvel Studios panel will be the final Hall H panel on Saturday night, July 26th. Just like every year, we will once again be on the ground covering the events first-person, so stay tuned for our coverage!

After spending years with Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale’s incarnation of Batman, we are now just a couple years away from seeing a whole new version of the Caped Crusader. For 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, director Zack Snyder has enlisted Ben Affleck to play the new Dark Knight, and in addition to that movie, the character is then expected to show up in Justice League, rumored for 2017. Unlike the last time the character was rebooted for the big screen, this new version won’t be a young Bruce Wayne just starting out on his mission to clean up Gotham, but instead will be a veteran badass inspired by the pages of Frank Miller’s comics from the 1980s.

Stored in my brain are many, many great memories from the annual five day geek-fest that is San Diego Comic-Con, but if there is one that really stands out amongst all the rest it would have to be the Marvel Studios Panel from Comic-Con 2010. At the end of that presentation, the studio surprised the crowd by bringing out and officially confirming every single member of The Avengers. The energy in Hall H was unlike anything I've ever experienced before - and from the sound of it, this year's Comic-Con may end up generating the same effect.

Speaking with Collider, Mark Ruffalo - who returns as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron - has confirmed that plans are being made to bring the entire Avengers cast back to Hall H and essentially recreate the experience from four years ago. “We’re gonna go out there," Ruffalo said in the interview. "We’re all flying. We’re flying from London. We’re working. We’re shooting. We’re gonna stop and get on a plane and go to Comic-Con together. It’s gonna be amazing.”

So who can we expect? Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson must surely be locks, but there are a couple of question marks. For example, given how Scarlett Johansson is currently very pregnant, will that keep her off the Comic-Con stage? What about James Spader and Paul Bettany, whom Marvel have been keeping in the shadows a bit? The more people they get, the bigger a spectacle it will be.

DC Comics obviously has huge plans for their future in Hollywood, but as of now they really only have one hero established: Superman. Henry Cavill made his debut in the role starring in 2013’s Man of Steel, and it looks like he will be taking on the part for many years to come. He is currently in the middle of working on the follow-up, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it’s pretty much impossible that a Justice League movie would be made without him involved. The Man of Tomorrow is such a key piece of the puzzle, in fact, that if rumors are true, we will be seeing Man of Steel 2 in May 2018 as well.

With nearly 60 years in the film industry, Eli Wallach appeared in more than 80 movies, and just about that many television shows. But he was also a noted stage performer. He made his Broadway debut in the fall of 1945 in the play Skydrift. In 1951 he won a Theater World Award and a Tony Award for his starring role in the dramatic play The Rose Tattoo. He also won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for contributing to The Complete Shakespeare Sonnets. Meaning yes, he managed the rare EGOT.

Still, NY Times critic A.O. Scott may have summed it up best:Cinephiles will debate which was his best movie, what was his greatest performance.

Aficionados of Westerns will love this clip of him discussing how Sergio Leone shook up this Method actor's approach.

Just like what Iron Man 3 did for Iron Man, Thor: The Dark World left its titular hero in an interesting position right before the credits rolled. The end of the film featured the God of Thunder rejecting the throne of Asgard in favor of returning to Earth so that he can be with his love, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). This means that when it comes time for The Avengers to reassemble, Thor won’t even have to travel by wormhole to answer the call – he can just swing his hammer around and fly back to the Avengers Tower in Manhattan . The audience knows that Thor actually left Asgard to be ruled under the iron fist of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), but he probably won’t figure that out until Thor 3, given that the villainous character won’t be appearing in Avengers 2.

Following the events of Iron Man 3 we’re not really sure what the future holds for Tony Stark and his armor. At the end of Shane Black’s film, the character has his suit-powering arc reactor removed from his chest, blows up all of his armor, and seemingly leaves the ruins of his Malibu home/workshop behind. The final title card of the movie reads "Tony Stark Will Return," but does that mean that the man will and the machine won’t? Could the absence of Iron Man be a void that is filled by Don Cheadle and Iron Patriot/War Machine? The series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. revealed that Tony is now using all of his vast resources towards privatizing global security, and we imagine that will end up very much tying into the creation of The Avengers: Age of Ultron’s titular villain.

Stress is probably one of the hardest emotional responses to deal with for many folks. It causes me to nosh on blood sugar-spiking candy and avoid doing most tasks by parking myself in front of the computer for TV show marathons. This always ultimately leads to me being even more frazzled and in a bigger time crunch to get my work done on time. It's no secret that stressing out can lead to some distress on the body and your emotional well-being, and a recent study reveals that it also has a very surprising effect on the way your brain functions. According to the Daily Mail, researchers at the University of Iowa have discovered that stress actually hampers your short-term memory as you age. Cortisol is a natural hormone that your brain produces when you're stressed out, making you more alert and able to cope with the situation at hand. This is absolutely normal, and without it, it's hard to say what effects would occur if you met your stress-related match.

It's a book that has dark, even bleak, moments, and, to be perfectly frank, I struggle to imagine how it can be adapted into a compelling drama. Thankfully, that's not for me to figure out. Noyce has John Romano on the job of adapting American Pastoral. Romano has previously penned for a slew of TV series, like Monk, Third Watch and Party of Five. But his most relevant credits in this case would be Nights of Rodanthe, a romance based on the Nicholas Sparks' novel, and The Lincoln Lawyer based on Michael Connelly's book.

A Jewish American, Seymour earns the name "Swede" because of his Nordic good looks, with blond hair and blue eyes (I seem to remember him being a pretty brawny character, but admittedly It's been nearly a decade since I read Roth's book. So, I might be misremembering). The son of a successful entrepreneur, Swede is a star athlete in high school, and goes on to become a Marine, serving during World War II. In many ways, he's poised to be All-American hero, even achieving the seemingly happy family life that is commonly striven for. But as the Vietnam War heats up, Swede's life becomes more and more complicated, in large part because of the political activism of his daughter Merry, who neither he nor the book's narrator can understand.

Researchers believe that the negative effects of cortisol on the brain may start making an appearance around the age of 65, and continue as a person gets older. This data could lead to more studies being done on ways to medically cope with stress in people who have high levels of cortisol, like those who are depressed. It also might lead to discovering how to prevent elderly folks from experiencing memory decline as they age, including a lot of us millennials' parents. And while cortisol is only one very small piece of the puzzle of an aging brain, it sure does make me think twice about procrastinating on my projects, or getting myself into sticky and dangerous situations. Even though it's hard to escape stress completely, I think I am definitely going to up my yoga time. I might thank myself in the future for it.

It's part of that whole fight or flight part of your brain that is a pretty basic part of survival. Long term stressing out, or big spikes in cortisol all at once, is danaging, though, and can lead to a multitude of problems from weight gain to anxiety and depression, all of which leave you feeling stressed out even more. In this study, the results showed that the usually helpful cortisol can break down synapses over time, and can weaken the connections in your brain. Scientist Jason Radley, who was part of the research team, described it as being similar to how beach erosion occurs. When a sandy shore is beaten down by rocks, sediment and even trash, it starts to disintegrate back into the water. Cortisol can eventually do this in your brain, resulting in the complete disappearance of some of these connections,causing your memory to lose its sharpness.

Cannoli Cupcakes

Cannoli Cupcakes





1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup salted butter, at room temperature

2 large eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

2/3 cup Mascarpone cheese

2/3 cup Ricotta cheese, strained slightly

5 Tbsp powdered sugar



Sweetened Chocalate Whipped Cream



1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/3 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3 Tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, for garnish





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter and sugar on medium high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 – 4 minutes, occasionally scrapping down the sides of the bowl. Stir in eggs one at a time mixing until combine after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. With mixer set at low speed, slowly add dry ingredients and mix just until combine, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Divide batter among 12 paper lined muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full (about 1/4 cup batter per each). Bake in preheated oven 21 – 24 minutes until lightly golden and toothpick inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool several minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool. Cool cupcakes completely.



For the cannoli topping



In a small mixing bowl, using a rubber or silicone spatula, blend together Mascarpone and Ricotta cheese while running and pressing mixture along bottom of bowl to create a smooth texture while removing any lumps. Add in 5 Tbsp powdered sugar and mix until well blended.



For sweetened chocolate whipped cream



In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on low speed, blend together heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla until combine. Increase mixer to medium-high speed and whip until stiff peaks form.

To assemble cupcakes



Spread about 1 1/2 Tbsp cannoli filling over the top of each cupcake, then pipe sweetened chocolate whipped cream over cupcakes. Garnish with mini chocolate chips. Serve within the next 3 hours (as the whipped cream will begin to break down after that). Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.



*Measurement taken before straining. To strain, I just placed the ricotta onto a layer of clean paper towels then wrapped it up and squeezed to strain out the liquids, then did this same step once more with a new batch of paper towels. You don’t need all of the liquid removed just some of it.

Oreo Cheese Cake Cookies



1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

6 oz cream cheese, room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar...

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup mini dark chocolate chips

2 cups Oreo crumbles



Preheat oven to 375, line a cookie sheet with parchment. I have found that parchment keeps the cookies from spreading too much, as they tend to do on a greased pan or a silpat.



In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and cream cheese until thoroughly combined.



Add sugar and vanilla, mix well.



Add flour one cup at a time and mix on low just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.



Pour Oreo crumbles into a bowl. Scoop dough out and roll into roughly 1.5'' balls, then roll in cookie crumbles, coating thoroughly. Be sure to cover the dough balls really well in crumbs, as this is what holds the cookie together while baking. Space cookies about 1-2'' apart on sheet. Bake on center rack about 14-15 minutes and allow to cool on sheet several minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Turn dough on a lightly floured board, punch down, cover with a cloth and allow to rest 10 minutes.



Roll into a rectangle, 10x18 inches, and spread with soft butter. Mix 1/2-cup sugar and 2 teaspoons Cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over dough. Roll as for jelly roll, sealing the edge; the roll should be 18 inches long. Cut into 1-inch slices.



Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon on a large square of waxed paper or aluminum foil.



Place slices, one at a time, on sugar mixture; roll into 5-inch Rounds. Sprinkle nuts on top and press gently. Then place on ungreased Cookie sheets, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon sugar-cinnamon mixture.



Bake immediately in a preheated 400-degree oven about 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

The one baddie not featured on the magazine cover



Finally, as promised, we also have this other awesome Guardians of the Galaxy magazine cover to share with you: Watch Captain America The Winter Soldier Online | Watch That Awkward Moment Online Australian director Phillip Noyce has been struggling to get his adaptation of American Pastoral off the ground for 11 years and counting. But it seems like at long last he's gearing up for production, having wrangled Ewan McGregor as his leading man.

Thanks to the new issue of Empire Magazine, we have the perfect opportunity to discuss them. As you can see above, the cover of the latest printing is dedicated to the next Marvel Studios movie, and while there is an alternate version featuring the heroes (which you can see below), for now we're going to focus on the baddies. So who exactly are these three evil looking aliens? Allow me to go left-to-right and explain...

This pissed-off looking dude, played by Academy Award-nominee Djimon Hounsou, is known as Korath, a.k.a. The Pursuer. In the trailers you probably remember him as the guy pointing a gun at and chasing after Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), and you can probably get used to seeing a lot of that throughout Guardians of the Galaxy. A member of the alien race known as the Kree, Korath is an expert hunter (as his nickname suggests) and has superhuman abilities that allow him to be very successful at his job. In the comics the character has the ability to trace brain patterns and locate individuals psionically, but it's unclear if that power will continue in the movie.

The one baddie not featured on the magazine cover is the puppet master holding all of the strings: Thanos (who will be voiced by Josh Brolin). The Mad Titan, who was first introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe during the end credits of Joss Whedon's The Avengers, won't be playing a huge physical role in the movie, but you can be sure that his sticky fingers are all over the plot.

Finally, on the far right of this image is Nebula, played by the completely unrecognizable Doctor Who beauty Karen Gillan. While she is teamed up with Ronan and Korath in pursuit of the aforementioned orb, she also has a personal score to settle with one member of the Guardians of the Galaxy in particular, namely Gamora (Zoe Saldana). In the past they were like sisters (both being assassins), but changing allegiances changes the narrative.

Standing next to Korath and also a member of the Kree is Guardians of the Galaxy's main bad guy, Ronan The Accuser. (Lee Pace) While he will be spending most of the movie on the hunt for the titular team, as they have taken possession of a mysterious orb that he covets, Ronan also has some serious powers, as demonstrated by his energy manipulation in some previous trailers. He also has that big hammer, which you can be sure will be used to knock a few people on their asses.

1989 will forever be a landmark moment in box office history



Watch Transformers Age of Extinction online



Great as all of the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers have been so far, they have been kind of ignoring some of the most important characters in the movie: the villains. Sure, we've heard a lot of talk about threats to billions of lives and the need to stop people from wiping out the galaxy, but who exactly are the people responsible for these horrific threats?

Watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 Online



June 23rd, 1989 will forever be known as a landmark moment in box office history. Crowded theaters of anxious patrons sat gripped in fear of a madman who stood to rip apart the world that they knew and loved. Their only hope was a caped crusader whose main cause was justice. His weapons of choice were fear and brute strength, both used in the name of defending the city that his parents helped raise up from the dregs. To the world he was Bruce Wayne, but to his fans and those who knew him best, he was also Batman. By the end of Tim Burton's Batman, everything changed for audiences who grew up with campier interpretations of a traditionally melancholic super hero. This in turn changed everything the film industry came to expect when it came to adapting comic book adaptations, and thus it changed the very market it existed in to fit its own existence.

On this day 25 years ago, Tim Burton's Batman changed the way we'd see comics on the big screen, and this is why: Up until Tim Burton's rather gothic interpretation of the Batman story, the series was defined by the iconic yet campy portrayal the hero had enjoyed on television in the 1960's. The Batman of that era wasn't a brooding, violent crime stopper, but moreso a thinker and a witty punster, tossing off one liners that made the show as light as the hero’s cartoonish punches. The fights, the villains, even the action sequences were all designed as gags rather than actual life-threatening moments. Perception of the Dark Knight completely changed with Burton's Batman, as the film really dug into the core reason why billionaire Bruce Wayne started this whole vigilante business: vengeance for his murdered parents.

Michael Keaton's portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman did maintain a keen mind, sharp sleuthing skills, and an arsenal of gadgets that would make Q Branch flush with glee, but all of that came with the burden of the trauma he suffered as a boy. While Burton’s vision ultimately screwed with the classic origin story told in the comics, Batman showed a man's journey of catharsis through the employment of theatricality, deception, and vigilante justice. When Batman actually tries to save The Joker in the film's final battle, he finally accepts that he has to move on from the death of his parents, thus proving to himself that he's no longer an aimless thug tearing down the city's walls to find his parent's killer. He realizes that he's not a killer at all, but instead a protector and a dispenser of justice. Without Batman, we would have never gotten movies like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, or even Zach Snyder's Man Of Steel for that matter. Of course, DC Comics weren't the only ones who benefited from the rise of the darker Knight.
