Goldwaithe is much more interesting than Mohr, but how do you steal an ex-wife?

Josh Brolin always impresses me with how he can be hilarious by not going for laughs, but by playing characters completely straight no matter how absurd they are.

Tears for Trigon

As much as I love Static Shock, the Milestone franchise I most want to see rebooted is Blood Syndicate. Wise Son is a great, underrated character, perfect for our times.

George is probably, certainly, absolutely dead, but I wouldn’t bet that this is the last time we see him.

This entire situation makes me uncomfortable. I despise Claudia’s parents and agree with her politics. But Claudia is a teenager and no matter how much time one spends following her on TiK Tok its not possible to really know what’s going on in that home or in her mind. That’s not to suggest Claudia’s claims of abuse…

Many of Snyder’s actors and fellow filmmakers seem to believe he was mistreated. And there is plenty of evidence outside of Snyder that Geoff Johns and Joss Whedon did not behave well. One doesn’t have to entirely exonerate Snyder of fault to believe that the situation is complicated.

Communism is often characterized as being in opposition to democracy, regardless of whether that is actually true. That characterization would have been particularly prominent in the Korean War, red scare-era US that LC is set in.

It’s much more common that comedic actors are also great dramatic actors than the reverse.

William and Christina are never around at the same time. And women, deemed responsible for the fall of man, are not allowed to participate in the order led by her father, while William can at least be in the outskirts of the room. Christina referring to William as “a boy... and a friend.” suggests he serves a specific…

The point is after KLH Kraven was no longer C-List. These rankings change. Mephisto has had a bounce that started in the comics and culminated in the most recent Spider-Man film. It’s arguable that the Prowler and the Vulture rose in there rankings after successful appearances in movies, while Electro and the Lizard…

What difference does it make in a comic based creative multiverse where many Batman’s exist, including a Batman Who Laughs, what race or tone a Batman comic is, as long as it works? This question is directed not to the author of the article, but to the myriad people debating the validity of a black Batman in this…

Not a fan of Snyder’s simplistic ideas, but I respect that he does have a genuine (though to me problematic) creative vision and was definitely mistreated and screwed over by the studio, which —like Snyder’s work or not —he made a ton of money for. There’s definitely a part of me that sees what happened to him as very…

Whatever expectations Gunn sets up, it is so he can delight in subverting them. Gunn is already two steps ahead of the audience — he knows that they expect a  “shock”, Sam Jackson in Deep Blue Sea style death while a surprising z-lister survives. That is incredibly freeing, because it reinforces that any of these…

True, but typically in Suicide Squad or Secret Six comics, the villains who play mind games are the ones that tend to last longer. Of course, going for a Sam Jackson chomped in half moment as in Deep Blue Sea would be an even more satisfying surprise.

I’m neither blown away nor disappointed by the new Flash suit — the image works without being particularly special—but its still a huge improvement over Snyder’s costume. The Flash should epitomize sleek and streamlined, and the clunky metal patchwork outfit he wore in JL was the opposite of that. My favorite Flash…

What this trailer did is make me even hungrier for a “Joker” style movie that is all about Batman’s sidekicks.

Wiig was not hired to be a clown. I find her funny, but humor is subjective, so to each their own. The reason she was hired, however, was not because she is a comedian: it’s because her performances always mine the anger, bitterness, and selfishness of the characters she portrays. Rage and envy are traits which define…

You know, Kraven The Hunter! The C-list Spider-man villain who wears an entire lion for a vest,
