It was only two weeks ago we brought you news that Joaquin Phoenix was in talks to star in The Joker movie at Warner Bros.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.” says the actor in a video interview available at the link above. Could he be playing coy whilst negotiations are under wraps? Or perhaps he is just trolling us all to avoid a media storm. Rumours have been pointing to that film entering production later this year. If…

Hot off the press THR has learnt that Joss Whedon has exited the Batgirl movie. Announced last year Whedon was to write and direct the film which would finally see the Bat-family-on-film expand. “Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn’t have a story,” said Whedon in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s been roughly a year since the news first broke of Whedon’s involvement with the character. It was around the same time that Whedon stepped in to complete Justice League.
