There are two Question things he did, one was the Five Books of Blood miniseries, the other were The Question backups in Detective while he was writing Batwoman as the main feature. Both are available as Question trades and are awesome. I wish his and Bru's actual runs on Batman were as strong as the ancillary Gotham

Yup, Morrison Batman + Brubaker & Rucka Batman/Gotham Central/Question/Batwoman/Catwoman is Batman perfection.

The hope that it'll get better, it's the same philosophy that I subscribe to with Hickman's Avengers…I just gotta cut the cord.

I still pull this book, I don't know why, I'm starting to loathe it. It's certainly right up there with the regular Avengers title for first on the chopping block.

For the first two-thirds of movie I was with it, and might have made the argument that it was the best of the summer….then the third act happened, and it completely shit the bed. Seriously, it's like a different director and writing team came together and finished it. Still, I liked it enough to call it my second

I'm with you….his movies would marginally better though if his charisma-less acting wasn't involved.

Well, I mean, it is pretty abysmal.

Is that dude even in movies anymore?

I'm right there with you, that shit was straight Community Theatre.

I think they leaked it or The Hollywood Reporter got bad info…hard to say. It wasn't announced though.

I respectfully disagree, everything you need to know about THIS Superman and his world was right there in Man of Steel…this is an easy way for them to introduce a new Batman without dealing with another origin story and gets right into the shared universe stuff without all the winks and nods. I found myself slightly

I was hoping Marvel would announce the stuff on the Phase 3 slate, but I guess both they and Warner Bros (who were supposed to announce Flash and Justice League) are holding back till next year or some other event. In all though, the Ultron bit is a pleasant surprise, not that I liked that story, but I prefer him to

Watched three films this weekend, Only God Forgives (which I enjoyed more than I thought I might) The Conjuring (which I was bored senseless by), and Fruitvale Station (which I liked but was put off a bit by some of Coogler's choices).

This is also true, but it's been a little while since someone tried to toss him into a "tentpole", and wasn't Source Code pretty well received?

Only 635 million! What a flop!!! Run these guys outta Hollywood!!!

Exactly, I can't give credit to WB for much, but they must have looked at "Amazing Spider-man" and said…."yeah, let's not do that".

Ryan Gosling is my ideal choice, but Jake Gyllenhaal seems to be the guy everyone is betting on. He was the runner-up to become Batman when Bale nabbed the role so the rumors go, and WB tends to go back to those lists (see Christian Bale and Henry Cavill who were both cast in Batman Year One and Superman: Flyby

What's great about this though, is that we get to avoid a dreadful "Amazing Spider-man style" reboot for Batman, which would clearly be the temptation for WB or a filmmaker trying to make "Batman his own". Not that I mind the latter, but we've gotten that origin story on film already in the past decade…using this as a

I was surprised how taken I was with this film, it's not perfect, certainly the "silent storytelling via gestures" thing is taken to its absolute extreme here, but it's gorgeous and I was never bored. This is like Refn's take on a Hong Kong action flick, but with some incredibly ballet-like storytelling in its more

It's funny, to this day, I still find little to love about Rucka's run and he was one-third of my favorite Batman thing ever (Gotham Central)…
