The well-known backstory of Batman is legendary, spanning various mediums. However, have you ever wondered about the background of the person who brought Batman to life on the big screen? Michael Uslan, a DC Comics writer turned producer, is the man behind it all. He acquired the movie rights for Batman in 1979, alongside Benjamin Melniker, and has been credited as an executive producer on every Batman film since Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989.

In our current era, there’s a trend of bringing back classic sitcoms and giving them a fresh start, with shows like Roseanne (now The Conners), Saved by the Bell, Mad About You, Frasier, and many others making a comeback. Most of these TV revivals are for shows that originally aired in the 90s or before, but some more recent sitcoms are also being resurrected. For instance, there have been discussions about reviving Scrubs, the beloved ABC comedy featuring Zach Braff that aired from 2001 to 2010. Bill Lawrence, the show’s creator, hinted at a revival earlier this month, stating, “We’re definitely going to do it, as we’ve all been enjoying spending time together.” Now, Zach Braff himself has shared some positive news on this topic.

This is a historic milestone as it’s the first time a tabletop RPG crowdfunding campaign has exceeded the $10 million mark on any platform.
Following a less-than-enthusiastic response from viewers, Lucasfilm decided to pull the plug on “The Acolyte” after just one season on Disney+. In this series, I was part of an impressive cast, with Lee Jung-jae (known for his work in “Squid Game”) portraying the elusive Jedi Master Sol. Interestingly enough, it seems that I wasn’t their initial pick for the role; a recent whisper from a Hollywood source hints that Lucasfilm had initially attempted to secure Keanu Reeves for the part instead.
