So DC's Rebirth one shot is here and the table has been set for their company wide relaunch starting next week. Reaction to the one shot has been mostly very good. This event was a year in the making. There was chatter that last year's Convergence was supposed to be the big reset; that didn't … Continue reading Thoughts on DC: Rebirth
Tapping Out on Trailers
So we got a Dr. Strange trailer yesterday....no wait, that was the teaser trailer not the actual first trailer. And a few days earlier we got the third (Or is fourth? I don't even know anymore) trailer for Civil War and the third or fourth trailer for Suicide Squad. And that's after the first trailer … Continue reading Tapping Out on Trailers
Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION. If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine. I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in. It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice

Is this the … Continue reading R-Rated Super Movies

Batman Forever was the third film in the first run of Batman films that started in 1989, and the first one directed by Joel Schumacher. The two prior to this one, Batman and Batman Returns, were directed by Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton as the Dark Knight. But for backstage Hollywood reasons of some … Continue reading Mediocre Movie Reviews – Batman Forever
Review – Batman #44
Warning: I'm pretty much spoiling the latest issue of the Batman comic book here. I do recommend getting it and reading it if you haven't already, even if you read this first. Comic books have been tackling social issues for decades, from racism to homophobia to drugs to the plight of the poor. The latest … Continue reading Review – Batman #44
Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
Over the weekend I read, but didn't participate in, a Twitter discussion over whether or not X-Men saved comic book movies as opposed to Blade, which dropped two years prior. X-Men is largely credited with reviving the genre after Batman and Robin supposedly put it all in serious jeopardy with it's abysmal box office failure … Continue reading Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
