‘Man of Steel’ Trailer No. 6

Still not too crazy about Zack Snyder’s “Man Of Steel.”  Part of it has to do with my preference for Marvel heroes, though that does not mean that I want DC characters not to do well.  Besides, if they have enough success, maybe they’ll get around to making a feature or two about characters I […]

New ‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer

I don’t want to like this movie.  I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame.  Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry.  I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]

Kia’s Super Heroic Vehicles

Working with DC Comics’ We Can Be Heroes campaign, a relief effort to fight hunger in the Horn of Africa, Kia created a number of custom vehicles for the  2013 New York Auto Show. The vehicles are designed with styling queues from iconic DC superheroes like Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Aquaman. The cause that […]

‘Justice League: Doom’ Trailer

I have been dealing with a cold since Monday, and I just finished providing tech support to my Mom, so I am a little bit tired at the moment.  Whining aside, I saw the new “Man Of Steel” trailer and noticed that it’s a step up from the teaser, which looked like a fabric softener […]

New ‘Man Of Steel’ Poster

Why does this movie not–so far, at any rate–move me?  Maybe it was the first teaser trailer, which reminds me of a fabric softener commercial.  Now we have a poster, courtesy of Superherohype, and I am even less interested.  It has Superman in cuffs, being led who knows where, when you know full well that […]

And You Thought Being Batman Was Expensive…

As expensive as Batman’s kit is–and it’s very expensive–it doesn’t hold a candle to what it would cost to outfit yourself as Marvel’s Iron Man.  For instance, just the Arc reactor alone would cost, according to those enterprising folk at Moneysupermarket.com, a cool $36 million. And while that’s probably reasonable when you consider that it’s […]
