Before you get too excited, dear reader: No, actor Robert Pattinson did not try on the Batman costume worn by Adam West in the popular 1966 TV series. He did, however, actually put on the very same Batman costumes once worm by Val Kilmer and George Clooney (in "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin" respectively) for his screen test. It seems that even in 2022, Warner Bros. was keeping suits built in 1995 and 1997 as a reference.
Matt Reeves' 2022 film "The Batman" was a very different animal from the Batman feature films that had come before. Eschewing comic book fun, and embracing a dour, depressing aesthetic cribbed directly from David Fincher's "Seven," "The Batman" was a terse and complicated crime movie about a serial killer, organized crime, and terrorism. Gone were the colorful, outsize villains, or a Bruce Wayne who seemed capable of having any fun while living his life as a millionaire playboy.

It was this week a year ago that Christine Baranski, Meryl Streep and Audra McDonald went viral with their boozy rendition of “Ladies Who Lunch” during a virtual birthday celebration for Stephen Sondheim that raised money for Artists Striving to End Poverty.
“It was a sloppy, drunken mess done in our back offices,” Baranski cracks. “When we were putting it together, we had a phone call where we said, ‘This could end our careers.’ Meryl said, ‘It would be a wonderful way to go.’”
Sondheim and the trio like to joke about a follow-up performance of “You Could Drive a Person Crazy.” “I think that might be in our viral future,” Baranski says.
Now Baranski is by teaming up with Doyle Auctioneers & Appraisers for a celebrity auction on April 28 that benefits The Actors Fund. In addition to the gold-beaded Robert Turturice gown the “Good Fight” star wore to the 1996 Emmys...

Award winners from the Cdg are in for a celebratory weekend. Monique Prudhomme’s sensational costumes for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus won in the ‘Excellence in Fantasy Film’ category, once again leaving fellow nominee, and all round big hitter, Avatar, out in the cold.
Other recipients at the 12th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards included Doug Hall for Crazy Heart in the ‘Contemporary’ section, eclipsing our prediction Marina Draghici for Precious, which is unfortunately off the Academy’s list on March 7th as well.
In television, Janie Bryant took the prize for her continually exciting work on Mad Men in ‘Period/Fantasy’. While ‘Mini-series’ saw Catherine Marie Thomas get the nod for Grey Gardens, an enthralling TV movie about the kooky aunt and first cousin of Jackie Onassis. Lou Eyrich for Glee received the Contemporary award, which is a real result as the costume character representation on that show is so precise.
