Robb Pratt’s Superman Classic Fan Film

Walt

Robb Pratt, an animator and storyboard artist for Disney projects like Pocahontas and Kim Possible, says he was inspired by the music of the live-action Superman serial of the ’40s, but with the outrageous design for Lois and the giant robots, it feels more to me like a modern update of Max Fleischer’s great 1940s Superman cartoons. Rob Pratt’s Superman Classic is the best of fan films. The quality speaks for itself. My only complaint is they are too short, would like to see what he could do in longer…

Wonder Woman Series Being Developed for The CW

Media Release

September 6, 2012 Wonder Woman is getting another chance at a TV series. It was just last year David E. Kelley made a semi-infamous Wonder Woman pilot for NBC, which was passed on by the network.

Titled Amazon, this is a complete origin story – what Vulture describes as being about “a young, budding superhero, rather than a fully formed defender of liberty.” It seems that, like Smallville, Diana…

The Dark Knight Rise Review

Travis

Dark Knight Rises to meet this reviewer head on. Traditionally trilogies fail to deliver.   One of the movies always seems to fail to grab the audience.  Movies, specifically in this genre of superhero films, starting with Superman 3, where a subpar screenplay and popular actors did not give the studio a blockbuster, and finishing with more recently with Spiderman 3, where the studio, not understanding the market, decided the popularity of the character Venom would sell more seats than the Vulture, one of Spiderman’s oldest foes.  Clearly, this is not…
