Tyler Hoechlin Will Be More Classic Superman

Media Release

Posted by: Matt McGloin It’s probably safe to assume that the new Tyler Hoechlin Superman for Supergirl Season 2 won’t be snapping anyone’s neck, killing anybody or even meeting his maker. Zack Snyder can have that for the DCEU. Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreiseberg fills in Collider what to expect from Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman. It’s learned they are going with a more classic route with the Man of Steel as their version is inspired by Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain and George Reeves and is more experienced than the Henry Cavill…

DC Comics Preview – Superman #6

Media Release

The Eradicator will learn someday that it’s all about the approach with people. You might have some worthy points to make about the survival of Kryptonian culture and all that other gobbledygook, but no one reacts well to threats, and especially when those threats are directed towards one’s wife, child, and lovable super dog. That’s what the Kryptonian that never seems to get the message will come to understand in the newest issue of Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s current run on Superman. Clark has absorbed about as much…

Five Star review for All Star Batman

Travis

Scott Snyder pulls out all the stops in his new Batman book, All Star Batman. I am an enthusiastic fan of Scott Snyder (Batman, Witches) and Greg Capullo’s (Spawn, Batman) as a creative team. Their 4 year run of the Batman title is some of the best story telling I have ever read. Unlike most of the new 52 characters at DC Batman did not change much after Flashpoint. Scott continued to build on an already rich Batman mythos giving us the court owls, death of the family, year zero,…

Suicide Squad: Takes A licking From The Critics

Walt

The Suicide Squad Movie was seen by many critics who felt it was their duty to tell us what a failure in cinematic quality it is. The Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes sets at 26% which ties it with Green Lantern from Year 2011 and Superman III from the Year 1983, both not the best films by Warner Bros. On Rotten Tomatoes the Critics Consensus: Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren’t enough to save the disappointing end result from…

Empire caught up with Suicide Squad director David Ayer who offers up the reason why Joker has certain tattoos as well as why he wears a teeth grill, which has to do with what went down with Robin. “This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection,” Ayer said. “But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum.

Is Rotten Tomatoes Fair?

Walt

I am about to see the new DC movie Suicide Squad and I hear the early Critics Consensus is very negative. People are emotional about the movies they like and don’t understand how a movie can be Rotten or Fresh according to the website. Rotten Tomatoes is a website launched in August 1998 devoted to film reviews and news; it is widely known as a film review aggregator. Coverage now includes TV content as well. The name derives from the practice of audiences throwing rotten tomatoes when disapproving of a…

Superman’s rise and fall in “Man of Steel” and “Batman v…

When noon struck on Aug. 2, the Suicide Squad review embargo ended, bringing a whole new wave of critical scorn and disappointment from fans upon DC. While it didn’t take long for a gloomy picture to get painted on Rotten Tomatoes, it didn’t take long for writer/director David Ayer to defend his film either. Ayer first responded on Twitter by repeating a quote from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapta, translating to “I’d prefer to die on my feet than to live on my knees.” Ayer then tweeted in English without quoting…
