Evidence in the “West Memphis Three” Case Thought “Missing” Has Been Found

Damien Wayne Echols in Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)

In 2012, all three convicted men made a deal with prosecutors called an Alford plea (they pleaded guilty but maintain their innocence), allowing them to be released from jail. But now, evidence that was assumed missing, can be tested and might be able to finally exonerate the three.

Michael Keaton Will Return as Batman (Again!) in HBO Max Batgirl Film

Michael Keaton as Batman

I am so excited that Michael Keaton has been embracing his place in comic book history and leaning more into it. Ever since Birdman, it feels as if Keaton has made peace with the fact that he is forever tied to Batman. Playing the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming shows that he still has it to lead an action role. For many people (myself included) he is Batman in the live action world, and it will feel good to see him return in two different projects.
