Tony Bennett, who has died aged 96, sang as much with his heart as his voice. Primarily a showman, he was a better technician than his crooner’s reputation implied, but his appeal was founded less on the skill of his singing than its committed sincerity. That simple virtue brought him two remarkable periods of success, the second an improbable – an...

Can a super-grungy The Batman sequel take the DC universe somewhere even darker?

Matt Reeves’ The Batman feels like a movie out of time, a superhero epic wonderfully bereft of fantasy elements, superpowers and magical bells and whistles.
