So, what changed from real life to the silver screen? Well, lets start with the biggest change....

Batman’s too grim for Christmas? Quick, name a superhero with a more cynical perspective thanBatman. Okay, sure theres Spawn, but I meant in mainstream comics. Yeah,Punisher, but how about in DC Comics? Sure, theresJohn Constantine. But I mean a character less suitable for Christmas stories. Whats that you say? Constantine oncecrushed the bones of St. Nicolasand snorted them into a powder? Why would he bother with the North Pole? Here are the 10 best Batman Christmas stories for anyone looking for a Silent Night Dark Knight....

This ship is good and sunk. While protagonist Vincent Chase was fictional, the Hollywood he moved through was not. The storytelling of the piece has clearly been hacked to pieces from the start. It turns out that Orm knows how to find Black Manta. Buddy comedy hijinks ensue as Wilson and Momoa hit the watery trail. Wilson plays the straight man to Momoascowabungabro-iness. ThinkThe Mummy ReturnsorThe Legend of Zorro(except those movies didnt write out the wife/mother character)....

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon owes A LOT to Star Wars. ThisRebel Moonarticle contains spoilers. DirectorZack Snyderbrought his idea for a more matureStar Warsmovie to Lucasfilm just before Disneys takeover of the studio. But Snyders storytelling instinct of course is to twist the classic space fantasy origin story into something much darker. We watch in flashbacks as the would-be Emperor of theRebel Moonuniverse molds her into the perfect fascist cog. Thats a bit like Gunnar choosing to fight when it matters most in the third act ofRebel Moon....

There is a lot to unpack in Netflix’s film Leave the World Behind. Well have a go. Heres what I made of the film and its closing moments. However, this is not an apocalypse movie, or a post-apocalypse movie, its a pre-apocalypse movie. Suspicious of George, Amanda is prickly and rude, while Clay is lazily friendly.

And then some… some Christmas movies made you feel more like Scrooge the night before....

Does the world need one less movie studio to make it create an even more towering corporate abomination? Get ready forBatman v Transformers! The jokes wrote themselves Wednesday evening as late holiday season news broke: Warner Bros. Thats who these deals are designed fornot the filmmakers, artists, and certainly not the consumers. The studio even won Best Picture three years ago forNomadland. Lets just say Disney+ has less use for all-time classics likeAll About Eveor even the Christmas-adjacentDie Hard....
