Walt

DC’s SUPER SONS Unite For the First Time in SUPERMAN #10

Walt

On the surface, there aren’t many similarities between Jonathan Kent, the son of Superman, and Damian Wayne, son of Batman. One is a wide-eyed boy who grew up on a small town farm, only recently discovering his father’s job as a superhero, while the other was trained since birth to be a deadly assassin, raised in the full knowledge of the darker side of Batman’s world. Yet one thing the two boys share is Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, the creative team on Jon’s Superman title and the former team…

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…

DC Comics has brought together Gene Yang, Pat Gleason, Dan Jurgens, Tyler Kirkham, Peter Tomasi, and moderator Hank Kanalz at Comic-Con International in San Diego to discuss…

Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition makes Batman the villain

Media Release

Spoiler alert! This article assumes you’ve seen the Ultimate Edition of the film, and goes full-spoiler. You’ve been warned. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a deeply flawed film, built on misguided interpretations of both characters and the faith that the two of them would never, ever for any reason get together to exchange notes. But the extended, R-rated Ultimate Edition fixes a few problems with the original edit while deepening the problems with Zack Snyder’s take on Batman. The good news is that, outside of the script and…

Why The Critics Hate Batman v Superman

Walt

The critics lambasted Batman v Superman and used the words like it was an “expensive prank, full of narrative nonsense, bore of a movie, the plot is absurd, full of gloom and doom is just the pits, a momentum-less ode to uncreative people, extraordinarily muddled and boring, it’s shockingly joyless and overlong, dark, gritty and poorly acted, it is as drained of fun as it is of light and color, it is a profoundly dissatisfying film, it is a hot, steaming heap of trash, and this thing is atrocious”. It…

The Critics are Wrong About Batman v Superman

Walt

Just saw the movie last night after reading some scathing reviews of movie critics who saw the movie previously. “One of the worst superhero movies ever made.” Mike McGranaghan “The sandbox they are given to romp around in is stupid, stupid stupid.” Phil Villarreal “Zack Snyder’s production company is called Cruel and Unusual Films.” Pete Vonder Haar “A super slog through empty scenes, boring performances, nonexistent storytelling, and constant questions about motivations.” Willie Waffle “At the end of the UK press screening there were pockets of cheers from the crowd…
