Ben Affleck Has Confirmed He Won't Play Batman Again

-

At the end of January, Warner Bros. announced the release dates of its next set of DC movies, including The Batman. With the announcement came confirmation that Ben Affleck is hanging up his bat suit, having starred as the superhero in three movies: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Justice League. Rather than announcing his retirement officially, Affleck simply retweeted the news of his departure, saying "Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life."

Filmmaker Matt Reeves, who's known for Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Let Me In, and Felicity (no, really) joined the project back in 2017, after Affleck was originally set to direct from a script he was developing with DC's Geoff Johns. Reeves's script for The Batman will apparently focus on a young Bruce Wayne, so we anxiously await the news of which star will step into the shoes of the caped crusader. No doubt fans will have some very strong ideas about who fits the bill, given their strong reaction to Affleck's casting back in 2013.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
