With the release of his new film Dumb Money, the endlessly versatile actor talks about turning his back on blockbusters, struggling to lie – and exploring his dark side
Even so, 2022’s double whammy of The Batman and The Fabelmans seemed to extend his range all at once. Near the end of The Batman, Dano is finally seen without his mask; sitting in a diner with a question mark daubed in the foam of his cappuccino, he is shown a clutch of different IDs by the arresting officer, each one with his face on it. “Which one’s you?” the cop asks. “You tell me,” the Riddler blinks back.
As well it might. Dumb Money, adapted from Ben Mezrich’s nonfiction book The Antisocial Network, dramatises the 2021, in which investors betting against the beleaguered video game retailer got a nasty shock when the downward trajectory was reversed by online defenders coming to the company’s rescue and snapping up its stock. Foremost among them was Keith Gill, known online as Roaring Kitty, whose YouTube videos alerted his followers to the injustice of Wall Street pummelling GameStop.

Donald Trump ‘doesn’t deserve’ to be president again: John HowardFormer Prime Minister John Howard says former president Donald Trump “doesn’t deserve” to be president again after losing the 2020 election. Mr Howard criticised the former president's handling of the election after he lost to Joe Biden. “To borrow a cricketing analogy – when you’re out, and your dismissal has been confirmed by the decision and the finger goes up for the last time, you’ve got to leave the field, take your bat with it, and cop it,” Mr Howard told Sky News host Paul Murray. The former prime minister said he didn't like losing to Kevin Rudd and was sure Paul Keating didn't like losing him; however, they 'had to accept it'. “You play the democratic game; you’ve got to live by its rules – benefit from its good decisions and put up with its bad decisions. “Donald Trump wasn’t willing to do that.”

Joe Biden’s ‘zombified presence’ shows he’s become a ‘swamp creature’US President Joe Biden’s “zombified presence” during media conferences shows he is the “perfect front” for the White House machine, according to The Rubin Report host Dave Rubin. If re-elected next year, Mr Biden will be 84 years old when he finishes his second term. Mr Rubin claims the President has become a “swamp creature” after being in the system for almost half a century. “I don’t think there is anyone that is looking at this guy that is honestly like, ‘oh he is really in charge’,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It lends itself to the idea that somebody is in charge but it ain’t these people.”

‘Insulting’: John Howard blasts government’s ‘failure’ to explain VoiceFormer prime minister John Howard says the main reason a lot of Australians will vote 'No' to the Voice to Parliament is the government’s “failure” to explain what is involved. A Reserve Strategic poll found 57 per cent of voters are planning to vote ‘No’ and only 39 per cent of voters in Western Australia and Queensland support the referendum. “We have no idea of precisely how this body is going to be elected,” Mr Howard told Sky News host Paul Murray. “We haven’t been told precisely how many people are going to be elected, we haven’t been told what their terms of engagement are once they’ve been elected. “We’ve been told ‘if you vote for it we’ll tell you then’ – that is nothing short of insulting to the Australian people.”
