Gotham City. Same bat time. Same bat gripe. With each new breaking story from the next chapter in the Dark Knight Saga comes a wave of critical disposition to rival Batman's greatest gallery of villains. The cloud of creation and confusion create a thunderstorm of opinions that now take root in the vast empty spaces of the internet opinion blog-o-sphere.

From Hollywood's earliest pioneers of creation and collaboration, the pairing of director and editor has helped to push and expand the language of cinema in ways never before possible. The titans of twin thinking have discovered ways to take the unique art of film editing and create a musical language on par with peers in any other collaborative art.

For years, when considering the story and events in a motion picture, audiences were left with only the information provided between the start and finish of a film. Then came the novelization, which created a new market for expanded material based on movies. Radio Dramas, Comics and Sequel Novels would also follow this trend, lending new stories to Blade Runner, Star Wars, Aliens and more. Now a major film property has the luxury of having video games, graphic novels and animated films to help expand and deepen the stories they want to tell. Cracking open this vault of extra material, Andy and John add another chapter to the expanding universe of Apocalypse Hollywood and dive into one of the industry's most exciting and growing trends.…

From one year, to six months, to three months, the release window schedule for home video entertainment has always been in an ever changing flux.

Now Warner Bros. has stepped forward to alter that schedule once again, but this time for the Netflix rental market. With a new 28 day hold on all new releases for Warner titles at Netflix, customers will now have to play the waiting game once again or seek out alternative rental or purchasing methods. Is Netflix being left out? Or are new releases only a pawn in a larger Netflix endgame?

In today's cluttered, branded marketplace, the early perception of a film can make or brake an opening weekend.
