Christian Bale has said that with the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ shoot finished, he has no plans to reprise his role of the Caped Crusader in a fourth Batman movie, the Huffington Post is reporting. The Academy Award-winning actor said “I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I’m taking that (Batman hood) off.” Bale’s statement comes after he said in 2010 that unless director Christopher Nolan said otherwise, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ would be the last time he played Batman. The actor added that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ will be the end of his Batman era with Nolan, who together successfully rebooted the series in…

Happy Sunday! Or should I say, happy Harry Potter week? After seven days of madness courtesy of the grand finale of the eight-film franchise, the web world is drenched in Potter news, discussion pieces, lists, photos and more. It’s a wonder there was room for any non-HP news. However, we did get quite a bit of information on some other highly anticipated upcoming projects, particularly in the image department. Not only did we get a look at The Amazing Spider-Man and Underworld: Awakenings, but Total Recall and The Hobbit, too. It was also a busy week for trailers as far too many debuted to even squeeze into this Cheat Sheet….

Twilight fans are watching their precious commodity get dominated by Harry Potter. “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ is now the owner of the all-time opening day record on the domestic front with an amazing $92.1 million gross on Friday.

Strangely, the box office chatter about possible record-breakers seemingly excluded “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” Well all that is about to change. The final Potter flick trounced the all-time opening midnight record set by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ($30 million and change) with a magnificent $43.5 million.

Let’s just say it was the perfect storm with a heralded franchise finale, along with 3D ticket prices. Budgeted at $250 million, attention now turns to the all-time domestic opening weekend record held by 2008′s…
