MATTHEW PERRY’S BATMAN COLLECTION IS UP FOR GRABS

Turns out the late Matthew Perry spent a considerable amount of his Friends’ fortune on Batman memorabilia. He identified with both Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne – that’s why he often called himself “Mattman.” When he couldn’t sleep at night, he’d scroll on eBay for more Batman collectibles. Now his family is planning to auction off his collection to raise money for his drug and alcohol foundation. My source estimates that Mathew’s extensive collection of everything Batman could fetch millions at auctions for two reasons – many of the collectible items are rare AND the provenance of them being owned and treasured by Matthew increases the value. Though still in mourning, the family wants to focus on turning the proceeds from the auction into a cash infusion for the foundation they just launched. This IS what Matt would have wanted…

Ana de Armas Batman Ben Affleck Dunkin' Donuts

BEN AFFLECK: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE!

Ah, this is the life! It’s Sunday morning and all Ben Affleck has to do is open his gate and his coffee and donuts are waiting outside his Pacific Palisades home, courtesy of Dunkin’ Donuts. Ben’s life is SO good lately that he could afford to turn DOWN a Batman movie – partly on the advice of his pal George Clooney. George then offered Ben the lead in a film he’s producing called The Tender Bar, and it looks like Ben has accepted. Right now Ben is finishing Dark Water, in which he costars with his girlfriend Ana de Armas. We’re guessing Ana is inside that gate waiting to have coffee with Ben…

Batman Hair! Robert Pattinson

ROB PATTINSON LOOKS LIKE A COVID VICTIM

Robert Pattinson returned to the Batman set looking like he really might have just recovered from Covid-19. He’s quite pasty, but what really bothers us is his HAIR. Rob is rather famous for his luscious locks and this haircut and color are quite unflattering. The hairdresser kept making adjustments on the set, so we imagine (and hope) this is a wig. It’s possible that when Rob’s character turns into Batman, his looks will blossom and he’ll look like his sexy Twilight self.

Batman Colin Farrell Make up The Penguin

COLIN FARRELL HAD A RADICAL MAKEUNDER TO PLAY THE PENGUIN

Batman has resumed filming in the UK – remember Batman himself Rob Pattinson tested positive for Covid (so he said) in September, and the set was closed down. Actors are being VERY cautious, as you can see by the plastic shield that Colin Farrell (yes, that’s HIM!) is holding. We can’t help but wonder why handsome Colin was hired to play The Penguin and has to endure HOURS in the makeup chair every day to look like THIS – a physically unappealing man. Are there no unattractive guys in Hollywood available for this role?

Batman coronavirus Muscles Robert Pattinson Work Out

DOES ROBERT PATTINSON LOOK MORE LIKE A JUNKIE, OR A SUPERHERO?

Comic book fansites have been discussing the possibility that Robert Pattinson FAKED having coronavirus because he’s clashing with his Batman director Matt Reeves. Reeves instructed Pattinson to work out before shooting started to build up some Batman muscle, and he didn’t. (Someone remarked that the Twilight star looks more like a junkie than a superhero) The director is afraid the stuntmen in Batman suits will look much bigger than Robert, so he supposedly closed down production so the actor had time to get in shape, and CLAIMED it was due to coronavirus. Pattinson STILL failed to beef up and now he and the director are at odds and the production schedule is a mess.

Batman Colin Farrell Penguin The Penguin

COLIN FARRELL IS OUTRUNNING HIS DOG

Colin Farrell is dead serious about getting back into shape after several months of isolation. He and his dog BOTH look exhausted after a run in Los Feliz. Colin had just started filming The Batman when coronavirus struck and he’s been waiting to get back to work. This Batman movie stars Rob Pattinson and tells the story of a young Batman just starting to learn about his superpowers. Colin plays a young Penguin (Danny DeVito played a mature Penguin in another Batman movie) so he wants to fit into his costumes…

Batman Behind the Candelabra Liberace Los Angeles

BACK IN TV HISTORY, LIBERACE ATTEMPTED TO OUTSMART BATMAN!

Here’s something to whet your appetite for the Liberace HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra” premiering this weekend. Our brainy friend Chris Nichols, who writes the Ask Chris column (among other things) for Los Angeles Magazine, sent us this hilarious campy 1966 episode of Batman in which Liberace plays twin piano playing villains, and one seems to be a LOT straighter than the other. You’ll also see a trio of gorgeous girl criminals who look very familiar (is the brunette Edy Williams?) Let us know if you figure out who they are…

Batman Christian Bale The Dark Knight Rises

CURIOUS CITY DWELLERS BUTT INTO BATMAN MOVIE FILMING

We had to laugh when we heard this story about the filming of next Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” with Christian Bale. According to Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter, a huge location shoot was set up in downtown LA and residents are accustomed to shoots, so they rarely pay attention. But this scene featured the appearance of the futuristic Bat-copter that zigzagged through “Gotham City” rigged up on cables. The outrageous craft, flying low, attracted all kinds of attention and curious apartment dwellers stuck their heads out the window to gape. Producers realized it would be costly to remove all those heads in post-production and actually considered asking people to keep their heads inside! THAT notion didn’t fly, so the looky-loos will have to be deleted later. (Above, Batman in another hopped-up vehicle)

Acting Crazy Batman Christian Bale Heath Ledger The Dark Knight

CHRISTIAN BALE AND HEATH LEDGER: FRIENDS IN NEED OR FRIENDS IN DEED?

Another Christian Bale theory has appeared that MIGHT explain his temperamental behavior. How do we put this delicately? It’s common knowledge that Christian and Heath Ledger were close friends. They were both “intense” actors and seemed to have a lot in common. Both complained of insomnia and had mood swings. Is it possible that they had prescription medications in common also? Mothers HAVE been known to be highly critical of these things. Heath Ledger’s drug problems separated him from HIS family – that’s all we’re going to say. Just thinking out loud.
