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.

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…

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…

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”.
