Zach Snyder Needs To Shut Up
Sometimes the best strategy is to let the movie do the talking.

Batman Needs To Shed The Cape
Recently DC revealed the latest costume for Batman, via Comicbookresources. Despite not being a huge fan of either DC Comics or the character, I really like it. The current iteration of Batman is caped, and while it sticks with tradition, these days it doesn’t quite make sense. The character was originally created in the 1940’s with a design intended […]
Thoughts on Man of Steel and the leaked Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer UPDATE
Since it was out there already, Warner Bros has released the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer. It wasn’t done as classily or as coolly as Marvel handled the unintended release of the first The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, though I guess in the end is all that matters is that they did the inevitable. […]
Is Jesse Eisenberg Miscast as Lex Luthor?
A picture has turned up of Jesse Eisenberg, who’s going to be playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and he looks pretty “meh.” The main problem is that Luthor has traditionally been cast by actors like Gene Hackman (who played the character in 1978’s Superman) and Kevin Spacey (who played him in 2006’s […]
Four Reasons Why ‘Green Lantern’ Is DC Comics Most Successful Superhero Movie
Wha!? “You have no idea what you’re talking about,” you’re probably saying to yourself. The Dark Knight Rises earned over a billion dollars! Man of Steel took in almost $669 million! What do you mean Green Lantern, which earned almost $220 million on a $200 million budget” Ok, if you’re thinking short-term, then The Dark […]
Ben Affleck As Batman!
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 […]
Warner Bros/DC Entertainment Has To Blink Against Marvel Studios/Disney
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 […]
‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ Review
“”Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Easily Ranks Among The Best Marvel Studios Films.” Let me get something out of the way: You know all those critics that say that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” was a great superhero film that’s evocative of spy thrillers like “Three Days of the Condor (both which happen to have Robert […]
‘Transformers: Age Of Extinction’ Trailer
I don’t think that Michael Bay and Zach Snyder are the same people, though the new trailer for “Transformers: Age Of Extinction” plays eerily similar to trailers for Snyder’s “Man Of Steel”– though at least Bay lets you know that everything is going to Hell pretty quickly. It appears this time around that humanity have […]
Why ‘Superman Returns’ Is More Faithful To Supes Than ‘Man Of Steel’
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 […]
