Despite speculations about Gibson’s return, Miller is looking forward to telling new stories within the Mad Max universe, potentially focusing on Max’s adventures before the events of “Fury Road.”

“Batman: Caped Crusader,” set to premiere on Prime Video, delves into the noir aesthetics of classic Hollywood, reflecting a time before the prevalence of modern technology like computers and cell phones. This series reimagines Batman with a look reminiscent of his first appearance in 1939, featuring a more slender physique, tiny gloves, and pointed ears. The show aims to strip back the layers of psychological complexity often associated with Bruce Wayne, presenting him as a figure who embodies Batman so completely that Bruce feels like an uncomfortable disguise. Similarly, Catwoman returns to her origins, abandoning the modern skin-tight suits for a more retro look that aligns with the show’s overall aesthetic.
