Idris Elba's 10 Best Movie and TV Roles
Empire
—
When a character professes themselves to be "Black Superman", you stand up and take notice - or, in the case of Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham), sit down and get electrocuted. Elba's role in the Fast & Furious spin-off is, frankly, ridiculous - a half-man, half-cybernetic super-soldier named after South London's most popular destination.

JumpCut Online

Batman historian Will Brooker said it best: "the defining characteristic of Gotham City must be that there is always crime". It's a significant underpinning in Matt Reeves' The Batman.
