Warning: This article contains spoilers for Joker: Folie Deux!With a new live-action Batman set to debut in the Dcu's The Brave and the Bold, there could be a new star joining the ranks of actors who've portrayed the Joker. As one of the most iconic Batman villains of all time, there have been multiple actors who have portrayed the Joker in numerous live-action films and TV adaptations. The Clown Prince of Crime remains a DC fan-favorite, regarded as being among the greatest comic book characters of all time. Naturally, he has been re-interpreted by various actors throughout his long history, dating all the way back to 1940.

Every Joker actor has brought something new to the role, and the next one will join a storied legacy. Many actors have embraced the character's humorous tendencies, while others have made him a nightmarish character. In various Batman movies and shows, some...

Several Batman movie scenes have actually improved with age, whether due to their humor, gravitas, or influence on the superhero landscape. Batman movies are an integral part of the DC Universe, appearing prominently throughout the Dceu timeline and in the DCUs future. Though many of these were celebrated upon their release, certain scenes have become more effective in subsequent years.

Batmans journey through cinema has been an ever-evolving experience. From the 1960s camp of Batman: The Movie to the gritty realism of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and beyond, each iteration of the Caped Crusader has reflected its eras tastes and cinematic trends. Over time, certain scenes from these films, whether initially praised or dismissed, have taken on new life. As the superhero genre has grown and audiences' perspectives have shifted, these moments have gained deeper meaning or newfound appreciation.

The most financially successful Batman movie earned $1,082,228,107 worldwide. Its success is attributed to the popularity of its predecessor and anticipation for the franchise's conclusion. Other Batman movies have been much less profitable.

The Batman movies have varied a lot throughout the years, particularly regarding overall box office performance, which highlights a surprising forerunner as the most profitable Batman movie ever. The first Batman movie appeared in 1966, and DC's Caped Crusader has been a cinematic staple ever since. Following this, Batman movies have varied from the bizarre to the brilliant, often with surprising box office results.

Batman has appeared in a litany of live-action movies, alongside a string of widely acclaimed animated Batman movies and franchises. The most popular of these reign supreme in the Dcu timeline as some of the greatest comic book movies ever made. However, several Batman movies boast shockingly impressive box office results (via The Numbers), despite...

Sorry, ladies; your mailman’s bulging sack is about to get a lot less sexy. Victoria’s Secret is discontinuing its catalogs, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Wexner, founder of Vs parent company L Brands, said at a shareholders meeting on Thursday that the discontinuations are part of a bid to simplify operations for the company.

It's time to say so long to all those Victoria's Secret bikinis you had planned on buying for summertime. The brand will now be stepping away from their swimwear line and replacing items with their new activewear clothing, BuzzFeed News reports. One source told the site that the retail giant "will be exiting out of all current inventory by the end of the year." A spokesperson for Victoria's Secret didn't comment on the news today, but noted that an earlier press release explained how the company would be restructuring into three business sections: Victoria's Secret Lingerie, Pink and Victoria's Secret Beauty. Chairman and CEO Leslie H. Wexner released the following...

Sorry, Victoria's Secret shoppers. The popular women's apparel retailer has announced they will stop selling a sizeable portion of their clothing items. According to Wwd, Leslie H. Wexner, the chairman and CEO of parent company L. Brands Inc., has decided to trim the apparel collections currently offered at Victoria's Secret. Items set to be cut include wovens, outerwear, denim and some dresses. The brand's Pink collection will not be affected. Despite the cut-back, all of the Victoria's Secret intimates and lingerie will still be made available. While Victoria's Secret fans mourn the trimming, let's cheer up by looking back at some sexy Victoria's Secret models strutting...

They say opposites attract. That certainly holds true on The Bachelor when thinking about Selma. From the first night I couldn't keep my eyes off of the 5' 1" dark-haired, olive-skinned, Iraqi beauty. Selma was incredibly beautiful, smart and fun, too! I was waiting for the perfect date for Selma, and rock climbing could not have been better because she told me she often gets judged as a prissy girl. This was my chance to see if she could rough it for a day. From the moment I picked Selma up, everything seemed so natural. It amazed me how comfortable I was with her.

The competition for Bachelor Sean Lowe's heart is heating up! 

Thirteen girls are left to vie for Sean's affections this week, and it's no surprise announcements of the coveted one-on-ones are making everyone a bit antsy. To the dismay of the other women (especially Leslie H., who breaks out in tears from frustration), Selma is chosen for the first whirlwind date.

Despite Selma's distaste for athletics and the heat, Sean's rough-and-tumble rock climbing date in the desert turns out to be a hit. The self-proclaimed girly girl escalates the 100-ft rock with relative ease and earns a few points from Sean in the process. As a reward for being a good sport, the two cap off the night with a romantically eclectic dinner in a converted trailer park. Struck by the urge to kiss his date, Sean asks permission to make a move but is denied by Selma out of fear her strict parents will be...

This week, "The Bachelor" kicks off with Chris Harrison dropping by the Bachelorette Manse in a fetching eggplant-hued shirt. Very nice. Sean also has a nice shirt on -- wait, no he doesn't. 'Cause why would Sean wear a shirt?

Selma's Date

Cute little Selma gets the first solo date. Look at those dimples. She's like Sandra-Bullock-in-Speed cute. As Sean arrives, he says he's "had a connection with Selma since night one." Just once, it'd be nice if the Bachelor would say, "Yeah, I'm not really feeling it with Betty, but she's really smokin', so I keep giving her a rose. Hopefully this date will let me know if we have absolutely anything in common other than thinking each other is hot."

But they never say that. It's a shame the main Bachelors or Bachelorettes don't have a little more of a sense of humor about their experience. But...

Tonight’s episode of The Bachelor (ABC, 8 p.m. Et) has everything the show is known for: tension as Tierra and everyone Robyn clash, an ill-conceived group outing that results in someone needing medical attention, a “Pretty Woman” date, and another love-conquers-all-fears adrenaline escapade (and a contestant with intimacy issues kicker). We asked host Chris Harrison for a few teases:

• The roller derby date: ”Roller derby was, I think, in the line of many bad ideas for dates where people get hurt. It reminded me of the Muay Thai boxing [during Ashley Hebert's Bachelorette season] where we’re like, ‘How about if everyone just beats each other up,...

On the next episode of "The Bachelor," one bachelorette is rushed to the hospital. And no, it's not because Tierra pushes her down the stairs.

The group date is a roller derby, which is awesome. Talk about an environment where you should put a bunch of women on wheels and encourage them to knock each other around. We're surprised only one woman goes to the hospital, frankly.

Meanwhile, Selma and Leslie H. get the one-on-one dates. Selma mistakenly thinks she's headed for a luxury date, when in fact she is going rock climbing with a presumably-shirtless Sean. Leslie is actually the girl who gets the "Pretty Woman" treatment -- no, not prostitution. A Rodeo Drive shopping spree and a private concert by Ben Taylor.

And in Tierra News, the resident drama queen fights with Robyn and storms off, shedding big ol' tears and needing Sean to comfort her. Is it...

We're down to 16 women on "The Bachelor" and tonight we have three heading home. Plus Tierra falls (or is pushed, or throws herself) down the stairs. Oh, the humanity!

Shirtless Sean opening. Drink.

Lesley M.'s Date

So, one of the girls from last week's group date gets a solo, which is fine, we guess. But it always sucks that girls go dateless while other girls rack up multiple dates. Anyway, Lesley and Sean head to the Guinness World of Records, which kind of makes the show look a little cheap. This is like an attraction from some small-time amusement park (like Adventureland near where I grew up, in Iowa).

Then just as I'm done typing that, it turns out Sean's dad holds the record for shortest drive of the contiguous 48 states. His picture is up and everything. Ok, well, that's kinda cool. And now it turns out Sean...

Last week, Bachelor Sean Lowe narrowed 25 beauties down to 19 after a whirlwind night of first impressions. This week, the sexy 26-year-old Texan followed his heart, rather than instinct, as he ventured one step closer towards finding his bride-to-be.

Whisked away by helicopter, Sarah became the envy of the house when she was chosen as the first person to enjoy a one-on-one this week. Not your average first date, the twosome braved a 300-ft freefall before toasting to the future with a glass of champagne, and it seemed the adrenaline rush was just the key to getting Sean's shy date to open up about a heartbreaking incident where she was left embarrassed by her disability. Moved, the bachelor gifted his date with a rose.
