DC Comics Films in a Post-Avengers world?

Posted on by

WOW. Just WOW. The Avengers was amazing and pulled off precisely what this comic-to-film transition need, some damn fine continuity with the intelligent awareness that the film itself was meant to encapsulate something bigger while being its own unique story at the same time. It’s probably the finest comic film ever made, hands down. Sorry Purplemonkeydishwasher, it’s just a fact. They took some damn good Marvel flicks released them with a plan for something bigger and it worked. Meanwhile at DC, Superman is getting another… Continue reading →

In the Dark of Knight… It Tumbles!

I would much rather have minimates, but thanks to the madness that is licensing leads to Mezco leading the cute charge back into the new Tumbler vehicle for Dark Knight Rises with Batman & Bane. Or the spare Tumbler. Whatever. I dunno. Until Batman hits theaters I know as much as you do. Unless you’re Batman… Anyway, it’s awesome and cute and stuff. By stuff I mean AWESOME and by cute I hope you’re noticing the trickle of bat-blood dribbling out of the bat-side of… Continue reading →

Justice League: DOOM – Batman reminds you to log out for security reasons!

Justice League: Doom is another in the line of “Why the hell not?” series of animated movies by DC drawing from a lot of better known comic and TV elements, primarily the lauded “Legion of Doom” from SuperFriends and the comparatively recent snafus wherein Batman forgot to lock his batcave, update Norton or stepped out to the Bat Potty as another party enters and downloads his “How to Defeat My Allies – By Batman” novella he had been writing. This theft leads to attempts on… Continue reading →

Batman: Arkham World?

This delightful bout of rumor mongering comes as a result of a chat with my good friend and occasional contributor, Emperor Joker. The Arkham Batman games have been amazing and we’re already salivating with hopes and dreams for ANOTHER Batman title from Rocksteady while the second game has only been out for a few months! During the Spike Video Game Awards, an event I prefer to avoid due to it making me feel like mainstream media has no fucking clue who gamers are, they awarded… Continue reading →

Batman: Arkham City – A Snippetizzle Of an Opinion

(ZP makes his gripes about Arkham Asylum. It sounds forced as he tries to soldier through the otherwise most awesome licensed thing ever made… Until Arkham City landed. I am fond of the punch/spray crack at the end.) Yeah, well… I picked up the “What the Hell’s your Damn Problem?!” Edition earlier this week. It came with so much shit… I’m still unsure what to do with it all. Just amazing. I have to confess that I haven’t played it as much as I would… Continue reading →

The End of the Brave and Bold Makes Me Sad and Mopey

I don’t know how I missed this news but it turns out that at Comic Con 2010, it was announced that Season 3 of Batman: the Brave and the Bold would be its last. I was deeply saddened by this terrible news. I love this show and have loved it from the moment I laid eyes on it. Sure, it was very lighthearted and goofy at times, but in essence that was an integral part of its appeal. It was an animated love letter to… Continue reading →

DC Comics: The Reboot Cometh

Posted on by

For those of you blissfully unaware, allow me to rock your world: DC Comics is about use their recent cross over series Flashpoint, to reboot their entire universe making everything begin with the arrival of Superman on the Super-scene five years prior and ol’ supes being the inspiration for everyone to check out tights as a fashion statement. Purplemonkeydishwasher can barely form words in his orgy of rage and hate. I keep poking him to come on and give us the skinny, but he seems… Continue reading →

DCU VS MOTU = OMG U GUYZ!

Posted on by

Years ago, when the 80′s were totally fun (and probably fueled more by drugs rather than imagination) He-Man fought Superman when ol’ Supes made a wrong turn or popped Mentos into a Diet Coke. It was obscure yet, at the same time, totally epic. Crossovers were rather rare back then and few were entirely familiar with the comic. Fewer still had even read the comic and were aware of little more than the mash-up, one-shot story itself like when symbiote-suited Spider-man hung out with the… Continue reading →

Superman: Anything but the American Way?

Posted on by

Let’s break from Sony to talk about something people outside of PS3 owners will give a shit about, Superman died in the 90′s and it was a big hairy deal. DC can’t make him matter as much as he did when he died no matter how much they want to, bringing him back after the clusterfuck that lead up to his bullshit resurrection cheapened the significance of his death, but at least they had the decency to keep him dead for awhile making him at… Continue reading →
