BATMAN: PENNYWORTH RIP
LAST summer Batman fans were devastated when DC killed off one of its most beloved characters, Alfred Pennyworth. Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler was murdered at the hands of Bane – leaving the Dark Knight at a crossroads. If Alfred was the glue that held the Bat Family together, how will Batman deal with that all falling apart?
Now, a special one-shot comic celebrates the life of one of the most important people in the history of Gotham City – while also addressing questions about what’s next. A host of Batman writers have come together to pay the ultimate tribute to a much-loved character.
Batman: Pennyworth RIP is out now priced £4.50.
A FRESH SLICE
ONE of the surprise hits of last year was the classic whodunnit mystery movie Knives Out.
The film took audiences by surprise and writer/director Rian Johnson – who earned an Oscar nod for his work – wants to replicate its success. Johnson has made no secret of the fact he’d like to solve more mysteries with Daniel Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc. And his wish may come true, as studio Lionsgate has officially greenlit a sequel – and has pencilled in production to start ‘imminently’.
GRU TO BE BACK
IT’S been 10 years since we were first introduced to criminal mastermind Gru, and his adorable minions. Now fans will learn all about how little Gru was set on the path to super villainy in Minions 2: The Rise Of Gru, right. Steve Carell is back as Gru, who is desperate to join the Vicious 6, who are voiced by actors including Lucy Lawless, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, and Jean-Claude Van Damme as Jean Clawed. More importantly, minions Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are back – with a new minion, Otto. It’s due out in cinemas on July 10.
