JAMES GUNN CLARIFIES THE BATMAN PART 2 DELAYS12/28/24 @ 7:09 am EST
Source: Threads | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentWith the news that
The Batman Part 2 has been moved back a year to October 1st, 2027, insiders and scoopers on-line have been making various claims about the reasons and even saying the film will never come out. But co-head of DC Studios,
James Gunn, clarified the reasoning behind the move on social media and it makes perfect sense. “The only reason for the delay is there isn’t a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films.” The film is still set to start filming in the summer of 2025, and since the film is said to be set during the winter, filming well throughout the rest of the year would make sense giving plenty of time for postproduction and visual effects. This gives
Matt Reeves a few more months to finish his script.

PHILIPPE LABAUNE GALLERY TO PRESENT CAREER-SPANNING EXHIBITION OF WILL EISNER ART02/11/25 @ 1:23 pm EST

This month the renowned Philippe Labaune Gallery in New York City will host a career-spanning exhibition of legendary cartoonist Will Eisner’s artwork, featuring groundbreaking work from every stage of the artist’s career from 1941 to 2002. Organized in collaboration with Denis Kitchen and the Eisner estate, the exhibition honors Will Eisner’s artistic vision and significant contributions to the medium, offering an opportunity to experience firsthand the creativity and innovation behind his iconic work. In addition to war-time drawings, pages from Eisner’s beloved The Spirit, and New York The Big City comic strips, the exhibit will feature an almost complete sequential presentation of A Contract With God: The Super.
Known as the father of the graphic novel, Will Eisner’s comic career began when his cartoons were featured in 1936’s Wow Magazine. From there, the pioneering artist and writer went on to create the fan-favorite hero The Spirit and help shape the comic book medium as we know it today. A Contract with God is considered to be the first modern graphic novel and remains the holy grail of sequential art. Written a few years after losing his young daughter to leukemia, A Contract with God is Eisner’s most personal work composed of 4 stories set in a Tenement in the Bronx. “The Super” is a dark and touching exploration of the tensions between the tenants and their superintendent that reminds readers that nothing is as simple as it seems. Eisner’s passion for the comic form and profound empathy are visible on every page.
“Eisner believed that the power of comics lies in their ability to communicate complex ideas through both words and images,” said Philippe Labaune. “Eisner’s innovations were not confined to his own craft; he was also a teacher and advocate for the comic book medium as a serious art form. His educational efforts helped bridge the gap between comic books and fine art, making him a central figure in the movement to elevate comics as legitimate literary endeavors.”
The Philippe Labaune gallery is located at 534 West 24th Street in New York and is open from Thursday through Saturday, from 10am to 6pm. The roots of Philippe Labaune Gallery have a strong European influence: among the artists are esteemed creators such as Lorenzo Mattotti, Nicolas de Crécy, Guido Crepax, Dave Mckean or François Schuiten. In recent years, American artists such as Landis Blair, Rebecca Leveille Guay, Frank Miller, and Peter de Sève have helped Philippe Labaune Gallery to foster a community of overlapping art collectors and comic fans from all over the world.
The Will Eisner Exhibit will be open to the public from Thursday, February 13, to Saturday, March 8. There will be an opening reception on February 13 from 6 PM to 9 PM.
