Ivan Cohen
Ivan Cohen—yeah, that name’s been popping up more and more in the movie scene. So, this guy’s got his fingerprints on a bunch of stuff, but let’s talk about his work in Beware the Batman, Bachelor Lions, and the upcoming The Last Supper. Beware the Batman, that animated series from 2013, really shook up the whole Batman mythos. Instead of sticking to the usual suspects, it dives into the weirder corners of Gotham, throwing Katana in as Batman’s partner instead of Robin. The vibe is darker, a bit more cerebral, not all campy capes and catchphrases. You get villains like Professor Pyg and Magpie, which isn’t exactly your grandma’s Batman.
Then you got Bachelor Lions from 2018. Wildly different energy—this one’s a comedy with a side of heart. It’s about these two clueless guys in LA just trying to figure out what it actually means to be a man. Spoiler: they’re a mess. The humor’s a little offbeat, a little awkward, but underneath all the jokes, there’s a real sense of searching for purpose. Not gonna lie, it’s got some “bro” energy but manages not to be annoying about it.
And now, The Last Supper (set for 2025). Details are still under wraps, but advance buzz says it’s a drama that’s supposed to be Cohen’s most ambitious project yet. Word is, he’s pulling together a heavy-hitting cast and tackling some big, uncomfortable themes—think secrets, betrayal, and a ton of emotional baggage at one dinner table. People are definitely keeping an eye on this one, waiting to see if Cohen can pull off something big.
