I have never read The Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski though they’ve built quite the following. They’ve also been spun off into video games, which appear to be equally as popular as the novels, if not more so. Now the character is being ported to television, with a series starring Henry Cavill, fresh off of […]
This is an AMAZING trailer on so many levels. First off, it reads as a retelling of the Superman origin story, which can’t be an accident.

It’s a decent movie though as far as I can tell all the rancor revolving around […]
There a story on Superherohype where Ben Affleck says that the portrayal of Batman in Warner Bros/DC Films upcoming Justice League would be a more ‘traditional’ portrayal of the character. What!?
