JOHNS & FRANK Reunite For DC/WATCHMEN – DOOMSDAY CLOCK

Wonder Woman First Reactions Call It Dark, Funny and Powerful

Media Release

Finally, someone other than those pesky executives at Warner Bros. have seen Wonder Woman. And the response appears to be positive. Though, admittedly, these responses are clearly coming from some sort of Mommy blogger group and a handful of DC fan sites. And they’re not filled with the kind of enthusiasm that will have any doubters running out to theaters on opening day. Overall, they smell like ‘pat on the back’ reactions. It’s hard to tell how good the movie actually is, which seems to be par for the course…

Media Release

Spider-Man’s popular nemesis is finally coming to the big screen. But would Venom even be an actual spin-off, or a stand-alone film? A Venom solo movie has been a dream project of Sony’s ever since the alien-symbiote clad villain made his cinematic debut in Spider-Man 3 (2007). But the path to the silver screen hasn’t been easy.

Kurt Russell Younger Didn’t Use CGI for Guardians

Walt

SPOILERS: According to Kurt Russel the younger version of himself as Ego was mostly make up and not CGI. It seems amazing what they can do these days with special effects and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 had a very life like younger version of Ego (Kurt Russell) in the earlier part of the movie. If it in fact is true that it was make up that made him younger it was an outstanding job of deception. You really thought you were looking at a younger version of…

Media Release

A huge emotional pivot to Batman, and a tightly made issue, but little progress in the overall Rebirth mystery. However, it sets up for a big finish in final part. The third part of The Button, the story-line that has been promised to provide the next major steps in the ongoing mystery of Rebirth, Batman #22 performs spectacularly well in some respects, but slightly under-performs in another. Heading into this review, beware: there are significant spoilers. The issue itself is great. Tightly written, with a powerful tension throughout and continuing…
