Batman versus Superman, by critical consensus, is a bad movie. It's been called shoddy , scattered , self-important and tedious . But it there are plenty of people who loved it, and besides, who wouldn't? This is what we've been waiting for, Batman and Superman in the same movie! How can it be anything but awesome? I came away from the movie with a lot of the same complaints as the critics. Overall it was pretty bad, but I still enjoyed the hell out of the second half once the action got going.  I like bad movies. I'm interested in the craft of storytelling – film, fiction, whatever medium – so I find bad movies more instructive than good movies. A well-told story might show you what to when writing your own story, but a poorly told story will show you what NOT to do. That's a much more helpful lesson. And besides, inside every bad story is a good story waiting to be found. So let's check out what went wrong with Batman vs. Su...

Now that the smoke has cleared with fans and critics alike, it's time that I chimed in and put my stamp of approval or disapproval. Here is my reaction to  WhatCulture's Christian Bale and Ben Affleck's Batman . Let's take a look a Christian Bale's Batman first. Although we love you Michael Keaton , he was the first Batman of it's kind. A vigilante that could actually exists in our society today, from the suit to actual person with multiple personas. A persona is side of that we use in different situations. Bale's interpretation of the Bruce Wayne felt spot on. His Batman is what we can call an internet sensation. Memes and Gifs are filled with mocks of his animalistic Bat voice. What's that saying? "No such thing as bad publicity". In this case, this may be applicable. The reason being is why spend so much time and energy with Memes and Gifs, which put extra attention of this fact. Now looking at Ben Affleck's Batman. Feel familiar? It...

Below is a What If Superman wrote a love letter to Lois Lane from my perspective: Dear Lois, When we met that day at The Daily Planet, we both knew that there was something special between You and I. I also knew that there was something very magical between You and Superman. Fortunately for you, you are married to both Clark Kent and Superman. You reminded me everyday that it was the best choice of your life. It took quite a while, more than a year to paint a picture. When you said that Superman is the one for you, I was ecstatic and sad at the same time. Ecstatic because you were head over heels Superman, however sad because I wanted you to love Clark Kent as well. It was as if I was living 2 different lives. The day you found out Clark Kent is Superman was one of the best days of my life. It allowed me to finally show you the full picture of who I am. I wanted you to find out on your own because it felt more natural and you would feel less pressured to love me...

Building off the magnificent movie review of  Deadpool  by Brian Minton from last month and  Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix is about to arrive on March 18, let's explore the  What If their worlds collided. Let's recap, Deadpool is an assassin and mercenary with sassy mouth while Daredevil is a lawyer by day and vigilante with enhanced senses including supernatural sight by night. Before their respective mainstream attention on-screen, they were lost in obscurity with all other B and C heroes and heroines. Now we have 2 heroes who have similar costumes with different personas: Now that we have a visual of what these heroes look like, let the speculation begin with the What If Deadpool and Daredevil met for the greater good. First, seeing the grittiness of Daredevil combined with the carefree attitude of Deadpool would be a surreal sight to both the hardcore and the casual fan alike. Say a scenario where Deadpool teams up with Daredevil to take on the anti-...

Hello all, I'm Brian. My good friend Reneir has graciously invited me to contribute to his Marvel/DC blog. Today I saw the movie "Deadpool," so I thought I would share my thoughts. My familiarity with Deadpool, not being a comics reader, comes mostly from his appearances in video games such as the "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" series. Basically, I knew that he is an ultra-violent assassin who loves the sound of his own voice and regularly breaks the fourth wall (aka, he knows he's in a comic book, video game, movie, or whatever it is, and frequently addresses the audience). That's really all you need to know going into this movie. If you're not prepared for Deadpool's . . . unique personality, you might be in for a shock, especially if you're expecting your standard superhero fare. This is definitely not your usual Marvel movie. Sure, it's got your sexy love interest (Morena Baccarin of "Firefly" and "Serenity" fame),...

The New  Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Logo  is much sleeker than the originally unveiled logo. Take a look below: compared to the original logo: With the look of the new logo, it gives off the perception that there will be another magical soundtrack and additional new characters. This will most likely continue the trend from the first Guardians. Look for the Guardians of the Galaxy to be released to a theatre near you on May 5, 2017. Sound off below to what you.

Our patience from this last article paid off. It is Official, Supergirl and The Flash are going to be crossing over! Give me a minute ... in the meantime, learn about how this  crossover  could work. Many concepts and ideas have been spread around. The first idea being that Supergirl exists in Earth-3 since Superman was never mentioned in the CW Arrowverse. A newer idea is based on the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow where Rip Thorn states he has seen Man of Steel and Dark Knights fall. We will have to wait find out on Monday, March 28, 2015 on CBS.

Smallville  was a show that started it all ... Tom Welling portrayed a young Clark Kent still discovering his superhuman abilities. A show that seemingly was only to be through his high school years brought us through his college to the point he becomes the ray of hope known as Superman. It was that last scene with Welling finally donning the Superman suit as the final of scene of Smallville played back in May 2011 that would launch what is now known as the DC Shared TV Universe with Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and possibly Supergirl. Looking through the lens of Smallville's leading man,  Tom Welling , finally opens up what it was like for 10 years of his life as The Last Son of Krypton. We also learn that it was the near 14 hour days, if not longer that was the biggest sacrifice. We would hope with the technology of today that it would be much easier for the actors of today including Stephen Amell, who portrays Green Arrow and Grant Gustin, who portrays The Flas...
