James Gunn Announces DC Slate

The production slate for James Gunn’s and Peter Safran’s DC Universe was revealed and while the proof is in the pudding, let’s just say I’m a bit confused (when I’m not being underwhelmed). While I think the idea of leading off with a Superman film – Superman: Legacy – is inspired though fairly obvious, The […]

The Danger of the Clean Slate

According to Comicbookmovie.com, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s goal is to wipe the slate clean as far as prior interpretations of DC characters in the live action space goes. And I believe that’s a likely, and more importantly, necessary step to take (and have argued it should have been taken place long before now) but […]

The Batman’s Batsuit Revealed!

Comicbook.com just posted a complete image of the Batsuit from Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, and it’s hard to say if it works visually. And that’s because you can’t necessarily tell how well a costume works from spy shots because superhero suits are designed to be depicted in a certain way and in a particular […]

Pattinson’s Batman Revealed!

The Hollywood Reporter released a video that showed Robert Pattinson in what I think it’s safe to assume is the Batman costume from Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie. I took a screenshot from the video and lightened it and…what I could make out doesn’t look great. It feels very ‘Daredevil,’ not the Netflix series but the […]

REview – Aquaman (2019)

I’ve finally got around to preparing a review of Aquaman and there’s a valid reason why it’s taken as long as it has: The DCEU is essentially a clusterfuck, managed by people that have never read a comic book in their lives, which genuinely bothers me. Despite having gotten in to comics initially with DC […]

Shazam! – Official Trailer #2 – Trailer Into Reaction

I’m officially embargoing the DCEU–like the Sony movies, beyond Spider-Man in the MCU, that is. I might rent them but I won’t pay to see them in theaters–because in the case of the former I’m tired of the randomness of the movies they’re producing. And I’m not even a huge fan but when there’s talk […]

Why I Didn’t See Aquaman In Theaters

I haven’t seen Aquaman in theaters–despite it featuring one of my favorite characters, Black Manta–because, as far as the DCEU (or whatever they choose to call it) I’m done. Under ‘creative genius’ Zach Snyder I felt that there was so little faith in these characters that they were Batman and Superman in name only. Yet […]

Will The Real Batman Please Stand Up?

According to Reddit this is an image of Batman, as he will appear in Titans (a series launched on DC Universe, their new streaming service). Now, here’s my problem: It’s likely that the separation between DC’s television and movie properties will continue, so doesn’t having a TV version of Batman-alongside a movie version likely coming […]
