And after all that, the Yankees are now leading in the top of the 8th. I guess it makes good drama, but yeesh.

Same thing again. It wasn't marketed as a "thinking Sci-Fi" film. One American trailer made it look like a horror film. The other made it look like an action flick. It did make money, yes, but it was given help. It was released in August of 2009 against nothing. There were no good films around it at the time. It's…

I hate to say it, but he's right. According to MPAA data, the largest amount of theater go-ers are 18-29 year old, white males who want action films. Second is females (also 18-29 and white) who want romantic comedies. That data suggests that a thinking, sci-fi film won't really make the money that they "need". So of…

This was the first crossover I read. On a sentimental level, I still really enjoy it as it was end-of-80's political (and even had a guest shot of an irate G.H.W. Bush) but still had cool action and intrigue. To me, this is how a crossover should be done.

Just a quick note: Seems to be an angle

Executive 1: "We need an idea that will get people watching the Pro Bowl again. But what?"

It's interesting to me that they are yelling, but they're also smiling at times as they do it. It's nice theatre. However, this feels like it could be the same thing happening in Milwaukee right now about Braun, for example. People yelling and passions running high but only to get ratings.

"They are darker films but they are not suddenly pretentious and losing the mission."

Did I read that wrong or did it say "No Man's Land: Ten Miles North of San Diego"?

So there you go: Hans Zimmer confirms that, in fact, Krypton explodes. The rumors about Krypton still being there can now be put to bed.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really would love to see John Hurt as The Doctor. I think he could very interesting. It might be too dark for what C.J. is looking for, but it could be fun.

Oh and outside of Batman proper, Waid's JLA "Tower of Babel" (which the new 52 is cribbing right now) in which Batman, we learn, has a plan to take down EVERYONE in the JLA and someone steals it. It's wonderful how Waid and artist Howard Porter show the pain Batman actually feels at knowing HIS plans are being used…

Another fantastic story, but more remembered because SO MANY PEOPLE wanted Robin dead. It was an overwhelming number who voted him to die.

I liked Thomas Wayne, but Flashpoint as a whole was more of a Flash story (hence the name) than a Batman story. I'll give you (SPOILERS) the end, however, where Bruce reads the letter.

Son of the Demon. Probably the BEST Ra's Al Ghul story over the history of Batman. The sequence where Talia claims that she has had a miscarriage and Batman returns to his gritty, risky ways is brilliant. Great writing by Mike Barr.

He's been resurrected a few times now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_War

Yeah, this one pissed me off. The Punisher commits suicide and becomes an angel...of DEATH! Then he gets "sent back.

Wil Wheaton was much better at it anyway. I'd rather see him do it, horsemask and all.

That was not Nick Gilbert. It was Angus T. Jones (from Two and A Half Men) playing Nick Gilbert. Wait, that was really the kid? What's with his voice? Smoker? Oh wait, he's been breathing all the smoke his dad has been blowing at the fans. Ok. Makes sense.

Yes, Gleek. Infuriating.
