Lannisters reunite
S
to take back King’s Landing as
‘Game of Thrones’ returns to
HBO By John Crook
Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is heading for one
of the worst family reunions ever as HBO’s Emmy-winning
“Game of Thrones” returns for Season 6 on Sunday, April
24.

Pictured: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Lena Headey
In the Season 5 finale, we last saw Jaime on one of the
worst days of his life, having just set sail from Dorne,
accompanied by Mircella, one of the three children he and
his sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), had conceived through
their secret incest. After a rare tender moment between
father and daughter, Mircella died in Jaime’s arms,
poisoned by a Lannister foe.
“That was such a great scene,” Coster-Waldau says by
phone from his home near Copenhagen, Denmark, “and
it’s such a great set-up for this coming season, because
now he has to face his sister, who is a little – how shall I
put this? – emotionally unstable. You can only imagine how
well that meeting is going to go down.”
Oh, but wait, there’s more. Unbeknownst to Jaime, while
he was in Dorne last season, the capital city of King’s
Landing was seized in a coup by a fundamentalist religious
group called the Faith Militant, who imprisoned Cersei and
confronted her with charges of incest. Desperate for her
freedom, Cersei admitted to the charge without implicating
her brother-lover and was released, but only after being
forced to make a mortifying walk of atonement, stark
naked, through the scornful throngs of the city.
“Oh, yeah, she’s in a really good place now, isn’t she?”
Coster-Waldau says drily. “She’ll be able to deal with this
(Mircella tragedy) in a really good, adult way.”
How this story line unfolds is being kept tightly under
wraps, after some material was leaked online last season.
That shocking breach of press etiquette prompted
executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to film
Season 6 under almost comically tight security constraints.
“The whole thing about who got to see the script was cut
down to a bare minimum,” Coster-Waldau reports, “and
early on they tried to have call sheets with no names, just
code names or numbers for actors, but then you’d have
a prop guy who doesn’t know who’s ‘Number 23,’ so they
quickly changed it to go back to a normal call sheet. It was
very complicated just getting the scripts. We had to install
special safety features on our computers to download
them.”
Security always had been tight while filming on the hit
show’s many locations, as ardent fans tried to get close to
their favorite stars, but that was stepped up even more to
protect the most burning question in Season 6.
“This year we had all these paparazzi who were trying
to get pictures, especially anything with Kit Harington,
because of all the ‘Is Jon Snow really dead’ thing,” CosterWaldau says. “I think it’s absurd, because at the end of the
day, no one really wants to know anything. They still want
to be surprised. And it really was all because of one (jerk)
who ruined it for everyone (by leaking that material online).”
Adding to the keen fan anticipation, Season 6 is the first in
which the TV series has caught up with and moved past its
source material – George R.R. Martin’s best-selling fantasy
novels – as far as most story lines, so the potential for jawdropping shockers has never been higher.
Just don’t expect Jaime and Cersei’s attempt to overthrow
the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce), their pious nemesis,
to be an easy task, Coster-Waldau suggests.
“Jaime and Cersei are used to dealing with people that
they understand from their world, and this whole Faith
Militant thing is a completely different way of looking at
power,” the Danish actor explains. “The Lannisters are
used to a world where, if all else fails, well, we can always
pay our way out of this. Now they’re dealing with a guy who
clearly is not to be bought.”

Jay Bobbin’s Q&A
DaveAnnable
of ‘Heartbeat’ Wednesday on NBC
Did you feel well-prepared to play your
surgeon character in “Heartbeat”?
I’m very fortunate that I did my homework,
per se, in playing a doctor in the last series I
did (“Red Band Society”). I was able to bring
the knowledge I had and any appreciation
I had, and I was very, very fortunate – kind
of like Melissa (George, the female lead
in “Heartbeat”) – to actually go to Cedars
(Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles) and stand in on an actual liver
transplant. I was fortunate to go on rounds
during the day, and I met this patient. It’s
crazy how (doctors) do this every day, but
this is something I’ll never forget.
She was a 32-year-old suffering from
nonalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. She was
holding her husband’s hand, and she was
crying, and she had weeks to live. And it
was so heavy because it was so real, the
stakes, and I left the hospital and I got a
call about two hours later: “We found a liver.
Do you want to come back and watch the
surgery?” It was unlike anything I’ve ever
seen in my life.

You and your actress wife, Odette
Annable, welcomed your first child last
year ... and the production delay on
“Heartbeat,” due to Melissa’s pregnancy,
gave you more time at home then. How
do you look back on that?
Everything happens for a reason. That’s
some of the most important time that I could
ever ask for, three months (of) being there
to support my wife and having a newborn,
and – like Melissa said – giving the creative
team time to see what we’d done and take
their time and write these wonderful scripts
that we’ve now seen on the back end.
I think that’s not a luxury every television
show gets. You have an infinite time to write
a pilot, and then all of a sudden, you’re in
production (and) you’re boom-boom-boom.
You see the quality sometimes sort of leak
off, and I feel like these scripts that have
come in since have been strong.

JulianMcMahon
of ‘Hunters’ Monday on Syfy
At least outwardly, your character
McCarthy is a principal villain of “Hunters.”
How do you perceive him?
I play this character that, on the surface,
appears to be quite a brutal character ...
but really, at the core of who he is is this
guy who really wants to be respected, to be
understood, to be accepted. And so even
though I do play the aggressive character in
the piece, he’s not without his own kind of
conscience and his own needs and his own
desires. He eventually becomes almost a
sympathetic character to a certain extent, if
you can believe that from what you see on the
screen.
What, to you, makes “Hunters” stand out
among the many sagas of humans vs.
aliens?
The thing that creates a little bit of a
difference in regards to this piece is (that)
the aliens actually come in human form, so
they’re not coming as a little green Martian
or some kind of oval-faced thing with large
eyes, or whatever else is that we’ve seen as
aliens are depicted. They actually are very
specifically in human form.
That’s really interesting, because it’s really
about almost looking in the mirror when you
start talking about character and that kind
of development and what it is as a culture.
Where we head in the direction in this show
has a lot to do with humans facing each
other, looking in the mirror. I think that’s kind
of an interesting thing that separates it a little
bit from others in this genre as well.
How easy – or not – is it for you to buy
into the show’s concept?
I have some friends who honestly believe
that aliens exist on the planet. I was having a
conversation with a friend of mine just before
Christmas and she so adamantly believes it
that, by the end of the conversation, I started
believing that she was more right than I was.

George Dickie’s Q&A
Juno

What are your
favorite bands?
I’m a huge Iggy Pop fan. I
love Iggy Pop so much. I love
the Rolling Stones. I love the
Modern Lovers. I love Lou
Reed. I love Big Star. I love
David Bowie. I love Tom Petty.
My brother actually started
just getting me into this kind
of weird ... like late-’60s
psychedelic music, like Can,
and I’ve been super down
with that. And then I like stuff
from a little earlier, too. Like I
love Howlin’ Wolf and I think
it’s so great because you can
so hear how he would have
inspired the Rolling Stones to
make so much of their music.
So that’s what I love about
music, is that you can really
listen to what inspired people
of the next generation. You
know?
of ‘Vinyl’ Sunday on HBO Signature
Yes, you can hear
the influence of
earlier artists in
what came later.
Your father Julien Temple once did a film about the
Sex Pistols. Did he give you any insight into the punk
rock era as you prepared for your role on “Vinyl”?
He’s done a few. He did them about the Clash and Dr. Feelgood, and he was
such a huge ’70s punk rocker back in the day, so I asked him a hell of a lot of
questions. But also like truly, I’m not joking, I spend my life kind of living in a sort
of ’70s universe. ... All my vinyl collection is pretty much 1970s records.
Yeah, totally. Television – oh,
“Marquee Moon” is such a
great album. Blondie – yeah,
I love the ’70s, man. Because
nothing has been better than
it, personally. I mean, grunge,
I was a big fan of ’90s grunge,
too. I’m a big fan of ’90s
grunge and some pretty great
bands came out in the ’90s
and like shoegaze music and
stuff like that. I was a big fan
of that.

George Dickie’s What's for Dinner
‘Million
Dollar Critic’
F
Coren helps restaurants
cope with success
On Cooking Channel’s Tuesday series “Million Dollar Critic,” British food critic
Giles Coren shows up unannounced at restaurants around the U.S. and
Canada to get an unvarnished look at their overall dining experience. If he likes
what he sees, tastes and experiences, he’ll render a review that can change an
eatery’s fortunes literally overnight.
Regardless of whether they’re ready for it.
“When I give a great review to somewhere and they don’t know they’re going to
get it,” says Coren, whose print reviews appear in the Times of London, “they’re
not prepared for it. And then a lot of people come and then they’re run off their feet and they run out of ingredients and
they don’t have the staff and people have a bad experience and it backfires on them. So it isn’t enough to just get the
review. You’ve got to be able to cope with the increased (traffic). ... It’s possibly as difficult as coping with failure.”
“When I started out doing this and I’d written a great review,” he continues, “I used to sometimes phone a place. I’d call
them the night before and say, ‘Listen, you’re going to get a great review tomorrow. You’ll probably get a lot of people
through the door. You should prepare yourself for it.’ But then that suddenly sounds a bit arrogant, as if I’m assuming
some sort of Godlike position, so I just leave it. But I know of places that had a very difficult time and they don’t know
what to do.”
In the show’s first season, Coren has dropped in on restaurants in Philadelphia, Toronto, Charleston, Newfoundland and
the site of this week’s episode, Providence, R.I. Coming with him are a camera crew, which can often unnerve wait and
kitchen staffs and thus affect service, so Coren has his own way of putting employees at ease.
“Drink helps,” he says. “For example, there’s one in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where a lot of drinking generally goes on
and I just arrive and start doing shots with the head waiter and we get pretty drunk pretty quickly – for real – and then
everybody forgets that there’s a camera there and it can all be real.”
“The main thing (is) for them to pretend the cameras aren’t there and to help, in the space of a two-hour meal, turn them
into broadcasters. ... I’ll unclip my mike and talk to them and I’ll say, ‘You don’t want to pay attention to the crew. They’re
a bunch of losers.’ And I’m getting them on my side. And then say, ‘Look, I know I’m here to give you this million dollar
review but really, we’re all on the television. And if you want people to come to your restaurant, you give a good show for
10 minutes on the TV, it doesn’t really matter what I think.’ And that seems to help them relax.”
What book are you currently
reading?
“It’s by Peter Frankopan. It’s called ‘The
Silk Roads.’ It’s a history book just out
this year. ... The history of the world has
always been about the West and this is
repositioning it along the silk road and
saying it’s all in Persia. It’s a very good
thing for an English public school boy
to read history written from a different
perspective.”
What did you have for
dinner last night?
“Honestly, truthfully,
I had one of my own
sheep. I have a place
outside London in
the Gloucestershire
countryside ... and I have
a small number of sheep
and we have them for
food. ...”
What is your next project?
“It’s (an unscripted TV series)
called ‘Back in Time for
Brixton,’ and Brixton is a very
black suburb of South London.
... It’s through food, telling the
story of black immigration in
the 20th century in Britain.”
When was the
last vacation you
took, where and
why?
“It was about a
month ago and I
went to Dubai with
my daughter, Kitty,
who’s 5 years-old.”

John
Cena knows more
than a bit about
displaying grit.
The WWE’s reigning star over the past decade,
he had to sit out this month’s WrestleMania event
because of recent shoulder surgery, but he’s staying
in the public eye thanks to his entry into the realitycompetition-series genre. Airing Thursdays on Fox,
“American Grit” finds the wrestler and sometimes
actor joined by a “cadre” of military veterans to put
contestants through grueling mental and physical
challenges in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest ...
with up to $1 million in prize money available to those
who literally stay the course.
John
Cena
“It’s certainly something I wanted to be involved
with,” says Cena, also an executive producer of the
program. “The show evolved from a quite different
concept, which was a bit more philanthropic and a bit
less challenging. In the initial stages of development,
we got some awesome people to put their heads
together and come up with this, where everyday
civilians could reap the benefits of knowledge from
the military’s elite and get a slice of knowing what it’s
like to be the best of the best.”
Having played military members and law enforcers
in some of his film work – though comedy has been
more his movie calling card lately – Cena appreciates
“American Grit” for emphasizing “the team-building it
takes” for such servants, “pushing themselves beyond
the limits to fight for the freedoms of this country. I
really thought that was a cool slice of life we should
be showing to America and the rest of the world.”
Dealing with “American Grit’s” military “cadre” of
expert advisers including U.S. Army members, a
Marine and a Navy SEAL has proven “very eyeopening” for Cena, “in that I get to meet interesting,
heroic individuals and get an inside track on their
lives as I spend more time with them.
“It’s also eye-opening from the competitive
standpoint,” Cena adds. “There are some really good
people in this world. With these competition shows,
and life in general, you hear a lot about the negative
... the backstabbing that goes on. It was a great
breath of fresh air to meet 16 driven individuals who

AMC gives Ian

General George
Washington
S
By Jay Bobbin
Playing the father of our country is no minor duty, and
these days, no one knows that better than Ian Kahn.
Also active in theater, the New York-based actor starts his
third season as the pre-presidential George Washington
when the AMC drama series “TURN: Washington’s Spies”
returns Monday, April 25. A Revolutionary War general in
the context of the show, the title character relies on the
members of the Culper Ring – and Abe Woodhull (Jamie
Bell) specifically – for covert information, building in this
round toward the revelation of Benedict Arnold (“The
Mentalist” alum Owain Yeoman) as an informant for the
British Army. Seth Numrich, Heather Lind and Angus
Macfadyen are among other continuing cast members.
“People are not as familiar with General Washington
at this time of the war as during his presidency,” the
friendly Kahn says. “Often, people will say to me, ‘Mr.
President!’ I actually don’t have any reference for that,
because my whole understanding of the man is from
his early childhood through his 20s and 30s. It’s an
immense responsibility that I do take very seriously, and
I’m fortunate to have some help from historians who have
become good friends of mine through the work. They
hopefully keep me on the right path.”
Even with that groundwork, Kahn appreciates being able
to take some dramatic license: “I think so much of what
we understand about General Washington is the portrait
that’s on the $1 bill. It sort of sets the tone for him as
this humorless man who just looks pained all the time,
but he was tremendously charismatic through his whole
career. He tended to keep to his own counsel, but he
was beloved by his men during this war, and there was
a reason for that. He was courageous and brave, and a
wonderful leader as well.
“Something that took me by surprise, the more I got to
know the character, was that this was a man with a great
passion who lived very strongly inside of himself,” adds
Kahn. “He learned through the years to keep that passion
down, so that he could best strategize his way through
life, through the war and then through his later years.”
With Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe set to make an
appearance as (of all things) the leader of Virginia’s
military, Season 3 of “TURN” – executive-produced by
Craig Silverstein (“Nikita”) and Barry Josephson (“Bones”)
– doesn’t miss a beat, since Kahn reports that it “picks up
right where Season 2 left off, literally that night. We really
see the politician in Washington start to come out, and
it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing a role. We
see Washington not always in charge of a situation and
needing things from other people. He’s trying to figure out
what the best way forward is for the country, for the army
and for himself.”
That process comes to involve another major factor in the
legend of George Washington, since Kahn reveals, “We
get to meet Martha (played by Lilli Birdsell), so we get
to see a little bit more inside him this year. We continue
to see his challenges, but we also get to see him at
his best in a lot of ways. Still, this season is very much
about Benedict Arnold, and it’s Owain Yeoman’s chance
to shine. And he does it. He’s such a fantastic actor, he
really steps up to it.”
While his other television credits have encompassed
most of the “Law and Order” series, Kahn deems making
“TURN” to be “a great joy for me personally, because
there’s a certain amount of freedom in fact. There’s been
so much written about General Washington, it gives you a
base from which to use your imagination as an actor and,
hopefully, to be able to take the character to new heights.
I’m very grateful ... and right scared, quite often. The
responsibility is large.”

’70s rock
giants Deep
Purple one of
fives acts inducted
into Rock Hall
By George Dickie
Deep Purple. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin. Yes.
Consider what these 1970s rock giants had in common.
Detractors might say “volume” – and that would be true
– but those who lived through the time, went to the concerts
and bought the records would point to something else:
musicianship.
Each band had members who were virtuoso musicians,
guys who mastered their instruments and could play circles
around the average pop act of today. And three of the four
(Yes being the glaring omission) are members of the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.
Deep Purple, along with Cheap Trick, Chicago, N.W.A. and
Steve Miller, became the newest members of the hallowed
halls of the Cleveland edifice when it held its 31st annual
induction ceremony April 8 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,
N.Y., a special that airs on HBO on Saturday, April 30.
For Purple, makers of such hits as “Smoke on the Water,”
“Woman From Tokyo,” “Highway Star” and “Burn,” this was
a case of third time lucky. The band had been nominated in
2013 and 2014 but didn’t get in – and the fact that it took so
long came as a surprise to Glenn Hughes, the band’s bass
player and singer from 1973 to 1976.
“OK, let’s just take Deep Purple out of the equation,” the 64year-old Brit says. “It’s a band, a rock band – I say in capital
R-O-C-K – that sold over 150 million albums. Truly, that
should generate some interest from the Hall of Fame
members and fan votes. So how do I feel about being
inducted? I am very, very grateful and honored. I think
the fans have taken a beating over not getting (voted
in) over the last two or three years. But speaking on
my behalf, it really (is) awesome. Look, I just figured at
some point we’d get in.”
At a time when the term “heavy metal” had yet to be
coined, Purple was one of the top hard rock acts of the
1970s, routinely selling out arenas and stadiums and
cranking out five albums that went gold, two platinum
and one double platinum. That last album, 1972’s
“Machine Head,” contained the rock anthem “Smoke on
the Water,” a staple of classic rock stations today and
the first song every aspiring guitar player learns to play.
Both Purple and Hughes separately continue to tour

“I saw that show ‘The Sixties on CNN,” Hughes says,
“and they asked Mick Jagger when he was 23, ‘How
long a career do you think you’ll have?’ And he said,
‘Well, I think we’re good for about another year.’ That
was like in 1967. ... Jagger is my dipstick. He’s an old
friend of mine as Bowie was an old friend. ... But I
always said to myself, ‘As long as Bowie and Jagger are
still going, I’m going to be OK.’ So rock ain’t dead, man.
Rock is getting bigger. Rock ‘n’ roll is rock ‘n’ roll.”

‘Monica the
Medium’ heads
west as Season 2 of
Freeform series opens
By George Dickie
Monica Ten-Kate of Freeform’s “Monica the Medium”
recalls her strangest spirit encounter.
It was about a year and a half ago, and the 22-year-old
undergrad student was out at a bar using the ladies room
when, she recalls with a laugh, “spirit starts to come
through.”
Some spirits just have no respect for personal privacy.
“I just remember the girl was in the stall next to me and I
said something,” Ten-Kate says. “I started the reading in
the stall because it was really strong and she was like, ‘Oh
my God, that’s my mom.’ Or her grandmother or somebody
– I don’t remember. But we came out after, we were
washing our hands and I’m finishing up and giving her the
messages and she’s crying.”
The second season of “Monica the Medium” gets going
Monday, April 25, and finds Ten-Kate departing Penn
State and heading west with best friend Krista and puppy
Luna to San Diego, where the two young women enroll in
classes at MiraCosta College with the intention of finishing
up their degrees.
Along the way, Ten-Kate has spirit encounters and does
impromptu readings for people, including one at a gas
station. And once she settled into her new home, found
new roommates and enrolled in classes, the newly minted
California resident did what Californians do.
Ten-Kate loves the vibe of San Diego and its people and
she cites that as the reason she pulled up stakes and
moved before completing her degree in communications.
She was always able to support herself at Penn State
doing readings, but now after having had a show on a
major basic cable network for a season, she has found
that demand for her services has increased dramatically
to the point where she no longer keeps a waiting list. The
messages and emails, which she says number in the
thousands daily, keep coming.
“What has been really nice for me,” Ten-Kate says, “is
that through more and more people learning about me or
knowing what I do, it allows me to do larger events and do
“You see me go and take surfing lessons,” she says, “and events with a couple hundred people even. So with events
I go paddleboarding with my family. I do my first event

Sundance’s
‘Rebellion’
revisits a pivotal
point in Irish
history
Sarah Greene stars in
“Rebellion,” premiering
Sunday on Sundance
Channel.
George Dickie
On April 24, 1916, Irish republicans launched an armed
insurrection aimed at ending British rule in Ireland. The
six-day rebellion that became known as the Easter Rising
would cost nearly 500 lives and fail, but it would serve
as the precursor for the ultimately successful War of
Independence a few years later. In the process, lives and
families were torn apart.
Sunday, April 24 – the 100th anniversary of the uprising’s
beginning – Sundance Channel debuts “Rebellion,” a threenight, five-part miniseries that looks at the historical events
through the eyes of fictional characters in Belfast, Dublin
and London who played pivotal and conflicting roles in the
battle and whose lives would never be the same.
The drama centers on three women: Elizabeth (Charlie
Murphy, “Philomena”), an Irish student doctor who
abandons her life of privilege to devote herself to the
revolution; May (Sarah Greene, “Penny Dreadful”), a civil
servant whose affair with a British colonial administrator
looks like betrayal to her Irish peers; and Frances (Ruth
Bradley, “Love/Hate”), a seemingly mild-mannered teacher
with a passion for the cause.
Others in the cast include Barry Ward (“Watchmen”) as
Arthur, an Irishman who enlisted in the British Army to fight
the Germans in World War I and who now finds himself
fighting his own brother Jimmy (Brian Gleeson, “Snow White
and the Huntsman”) on the streets of Dublin; and Tom
Turner (“Hollyoaks”) as Charles, May’s lover who finds he
has a sympathy for his adopted nation.
“Rebellion” was a major event when it aired earlier this
year on Ireland’s RTE. For the cast of largely Irish actors,
making this was a patriotic affair and all came away with
a sense of pride in their country and in the production.
“I think we all felt that. We all felt like our grandparents
would be proud,” Greene says with a laugh, “which
was really nice, and our parents were all very proud
that we were involved in something of that magnitude
about our history. And as well, we were all such good
friends beforehand. I mean, Charlie’s like a sister to me
and I mean that. So to get to work with them was just
incredible.”
Murphy, a native of Wexford, Ireland, says the opportunity
to play a strong woman was too good for her to turn
down.
“You know, it was a three-female lead,” she says,
“because the story follows them, which is very unusual to
be given an opportunity like that as an actress, especially
in our age bracket as well. So yeah, that was the main
thing. And obviously as an Irish actress as well, being
given the opportunity to tell the story of your nation is a
pretty special opportunity.”

By Dan Ladd
He’s considered by many to be the
best overall prospect in the upcoming
NFL Draft. Although he may not be
the first pick by the Tennessee Titans,
Ohio State’s Joey Bosa should hear
his name called very early when the
first round of the draft airs Thursday,
April 28, on ESPN and the NFL
Network. Coverage of subsequent
rounds of the NFL Draft continue
Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April
30, on both networks.
Bosa leaves the Buckeyes as a junior
after putting together a solid college
football career full of honors. Among
the all-time team leaders in several
defensive categories at OSU, and
the son of a former number one draft
pick John Bosa (Miami Dolphins,
1987), Bosa is expected to make an
immediate contribution wherever he
lands.
Several mock draft experts speculate
Bosa to be a top-five pick but not the
overall No. 1 pick. The Titans need
help in the defensive backfield; the
Cleveland Browns will likely take
quarterback Carson Wentz and the
San Diego Chargers (third pick)
were eyeing Oregon defensive end
DeForest Buckner.
That leaves the Dallas Cowboys, who
really need D-line help, as a possible
home for Bosa with the fourth pick.
Still, the Cowboys also need help at
the running back position and may
not be able to pass up Bosa’s college
roommate, Ezekiel Elliott.

Anything can happen on draft day,
including teams trading up and down.
Wherever Bosa does land you can
expect him to be finding his way into
the opposing team’s backfield come
autumn.

JAY BOBBIN's Theatrical movie review
‘Batman v. Superman’:
Not much fun in this fight
Once upon a time, Batman and Superman used to be
fun ... in the way most of the Marvel characters have
been in THEIR movies lately.
The DC comic universe definitely has been going for the
darker side in its screen ventures. Nowhere is that more
evident than in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,”
which doesn’t exactly put the heroes in league with
each other.
That’s much of the problem. Though there was a long
and anticipation-packed wait for it, the current movie
frequently seems like a really long tease for others
to come, including “Justice League.” For now, we get
Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman resenting Henry
Cavill’s Superman for aftereffects of the climax of “Man
of Steel,” also directed by this film’s Zack Snyder. That’s
principally where the title’s “v.” comes into play.
Even politicians are on the case of Krypton’s favorite
son, including the one played by Holly Hunter. They’re
concerned with what the immense power of Superman
could mean destructively, rather than positively, for the
world – and along with the familiar scheming of Lex
Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg, ideal for the part), it’s enough
to make a superhero reconsider saving humanity.
The same goes for Batman, though he’s working on
a more localized level, his focus and abilities being
more earthly. As the latest of many Caped Crusaders
to inhabit the screen, Affleck has the brooding down
perfectly, if indeed there must be this much brooding.
And Cavill continues to fill his often-airborne suit
admirably, both physically and in acting terms.
The freshest breath here is Wonder Woman, played by
Gal Gadot, who will be getting her own movie (which,
in fact, was in production at the time this one was
released). Amy Adams is back from “Man of Steel” as
Lois Lane, and Jeremy Irons makes a terrific butler
Alfred.
Of course, the special effects are up to par, as they
must be in a saga of this nature. Particularly interesting
is the envisioning of Metropolis and Gotham, legendary
locales we’ve never seen juxtaposed before. In the
same way their respective icons have their differences,
so do those cities, and making that point visually is very
much to the credit of the picture’s artistic team.
However, for all it does have, “Batman v. Superman:
Dawn of Justice” is sorely lacking one element: joy.
And that’s a near-fatal flaw not even a superhero can
withstand.
