Zach Snyder released this black & white image of Batman (Ben Affleck) today on Twitter. It’s from the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman. And it looks OK, and while I wish that Snyder had taken the photo less to depict a mood than to actually show us Batman and the Batmobile. That being said, I am […]
NBC, as part of their upcoming new season, is launching a series based upon DC/Vertigo’s Hellblazer. And unlike the last movie based on the character, this time around he’s actually British! And blond! I don’t know quite what’s going on, but I have grown accustomed to television executives doing their best to ignore, not acknowledge, the […]
Have you ever dealt with someone who was so set in their ways that they ignored any common sense response to their predicament? That’s what i feel about what’s going on with Warner Bros. scheduling their upcoming “Superman Vs. Batman” against the currently untitled Captain America 3. Disney had originally had that space staked out […]
I am not terribly easy to please when it comes to real-world interpretations of superheroes that I have followed since I was a kid. Then again, I also understand that costume designers have quite a balancing act to maintain. Sometimes, they cannot be too literal, because it would mean spandex, and virtually no one looks […]
And as you can see from this picture, “Meh” was being generous. This image is from Screen Crush, and as you can tell, it’s a picture of the new Flash costume, and it. Looks. Pretty. Bad. It also looks confining, when it should allow movement (I assume that the show’s producers will say that it’s […]
Here’s a photo from “Slates From Sarah” Facebook page, where she has a picture of John Constantine from NBC’s upcoming series “Constantine,” based upon the DC Comics character. I think it goes without saying that he has the look right (it’s so good that it almost looks like a parody of the character) though only […]
Do you ever get the feeling that someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes? I ask because many outlets, including the New York Daily News and Superherohype, have posted a picture of costume that would be worn by Grant Gustin in the CW Network action series “The Flash.” My problem is that, […]
The Internets are filled with all sorts of reasons why Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy” could potentially be in trouble, but most of the justifications that I have come upon don’t hold water. That’s why I listed below five assorted reasons why “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” supposedly, won’t do well, and the reason […]
Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday, hopefully with those that care for, and vice versa. It goes without saying that the course that Bryan Singer charted with the 2006 film, “Superman Returns” was an unsustainable one. It cost $270 million to produce and earned $391 million in worldwide box office receipts. Box […]
Some people prefer Marvel heroes, like Spider-Man and The Avengers, while others prefer DC, and characters like Batman and Superman, though the line between the two for most is a bit blurrier than that. For instance, while I generally like Marvel, I grew up on the giant-sized adventures of Batman, which I fondly remember my […]
