Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – A Movie Review
I should explicitly state from the beginning that I am an unabashed Batman fanatic. I discovered him at the age of three and have loved every incarnation of him during the past thirty-six years. Furthermore, I’ve always leaned toward DC Comics, home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc. With all that being said, I…

DC Movies, String Theory, Parallel Worlds, and You
Ezra Miller confirmed on MTV News that he will indeed play Barry Allen and The Flash in 2018’s film. This troubles some because the CW already has a very successful, much loved television show of the same name starring the same character played by Grant Gustin. Of course, if you’ve been paying close attention, you’ll…

Batman v Superman – Actions Have Consequences
After the initial trailer released for Batman v Superman, I felt excited. Very excited. But that excitement cannot compare to the sheer exuberance I experienced while watching the latest trailer the other day. Why so very enthusiastic? It’s not merely the sight of Wonder Woman in all her Amazonian glory. It’s not just watching Batman…

My First Thoughts Concerning the Batman v. Superman Trailer
First of all, if you haven’t yet seen it … This was a very good couple of days for me, and the premature arrival of this trailer played no small role in that fact! I am very excited for this film and all it portends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t remain objective about it.…

Injustice by Tom Taylor – A Book Review
I’m not a gamer, but I heard the DC series titled Injustice, which serves as an introduction to the video game, regularly impressed readers. When I happened across it at my local library, I knew I had to give it a read. Wow. I’m glad I did. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise, the Joker…

Earth 2: The Dark Age by Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott
If you’re unfamiliar with the DC Universe, Earth 2 is a parallel Earth, one similar to our own in many respects, but different in many others. DC has employed this parallel universe concept for decades, currently claiming that their are 52 parallel Earths within the DC multiverse. Once upon a time, Earth 2 existed during WWII…

Keep the “Wonder” In Wonder Woman
Against my better judgement, I’m playing the old comic book fan card. You know the one: the “I’m quitting this comic because of a creative change!” Let me explain. A few years ago, DC Comics (sort of) rebooted their universe and called the (sort of) reboot “The New 52.” In the (sort of) new DC…

Man of Steel – A Movie Review
(Spoilers at the very end of this review. I will warn you before going into them.) If you’ve been waiting for a Superman movie that shows our hero strutting all of his super stuff, then you will be very happy with Man of Steel. In fact, I’ve never seen the kind of all-out action depicted…

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder: Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
This book is absolutely insane, and I loved it! What we have here is a Batman story free of any previous or current continuity. Writer Frank Miller is taking Batman and starting his story from scratch. (Or is he? More on that later.) The Batman in this storyline is testosterone fueled, immature, and more than…

The Batman Befuddlement
I need to say this from the outset: I’ve been a huge Batman fan since the age of three. In 1980, my mom brought out my Batman birthday cake and I’ve been a bat-fan ever since. Nothing will ever change that. However, even I must admit, when looking at Batman from a motivational standpoint,…
