I had said February was a pretty decent month at the movies, but nobody saw Deadpool breaking through as such a massive hit. I don’t know if there are any March movies that will be as surprising, but there are some probable hits on this list. There’s the third film in a YA dystopian series,…
Some will argue that the action genre is a fading art with every studio milking the comic book cash cow. Back in your mother’s day, one liner action gurus, like Stallone and Norris, brought sweaty chest hair to justice on the big screen year round. A great action movie these days, much to Jason Statham’s…
When Batman: Arkham Asylum was released in 2009, the expectations for superhero games were pretty low, as such games had not been successful in the past. But then gamers and reviewers alike were blown out of the water by the sheer awesomeness of the game. From then on, it became one of the most talked-about superhero…
This year has seen even more of a boost in comic books being developed into TV shows and movies. Comics are making a comeback (and have been for a while now), and this has meant big news for pop culture. We’re going to look over the top 15 upcoming comic book TV shows and movies…
As the first season of Gotham came to a close, Batman fans and casual viewers were presented a complex and dark reflection of the horrors that plagued the iconic city and the people who live in it. Developed by executive producer Bruno Heller, the Gotham TV series was originally set to have 16 episodes, but…
It was only a few days ago that Warner Brothers Studios released their first teaser trailer for the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In those four short days, the trailer has already reached over 25 million views on YouTube. There is a lot of excitement about the new movie, and a lot of…
Episode 3 of Gotham, “The Balloonman,” is a mixed bag. The title character of this episode, the eponymous Balloonman, is Gotham City’s first vigilante, who kills the rich and corrupt of Gotham by tying them to small weather balloons resulting in them flying over the city (presumably since they considered themselves above Gotham and its people)…
I had my doubts about FOX’s Gotham, but after seeing the first two episodes (“Pilot” and “Selina Kyle”) I’m officially on-board. Initially my fears were that Gotham would be a generic cop drama with occasional nods to the Batman canon, but the show is instead neo-noir mixed with elements of a crime drama and action series. Most…
Batman fans are in for a treat with The Piano Guys’ newest music video, ‘Batman Evolution.’ If you like Batman, good music, special effects, or just want to hear some incredible musicians, check out the video – you won’t regret it. If you’ve never heard of The Piano Guys, I give you fair warning that…
Superhero movies are becoming more and more ingrained in our culture. They are some of the most profitable movies we have and they have quickly surpassed every other kind of blockbuster in sheer number. They have also changed a great deal since the Batman Movie with bat shark repellant. Some have been dark and gritty…
There are a lot of superhero movies out there. If the over-the-top Guardians of the Galaxy trailer tells us anything, it’s that this trend is just getting started as more obscure properties are about to rub elbows with Captain America and the other big names. But with production schedules and well planned out marketing campaigns,…
Batman kicks ass. Literally. He constantly uses all sorts of cool gadgets to thwart criminals and save Gotham City. The list of bad guys he has defeated over the years goes on and on, but only a few of them have made it to the theaters. The true fans are left craving appearances from the…
For those of you who have been living under a rock, Batman: Arkham Origins recently swooped onto shop shelves and into disc trays bringing us the prequel to the Arkham series that no one really asked for. So without further ado, let’s take a look into the game. (Spoilers! Duh!) Gotham’s Savior or Bad Joke?…
The Arkham series (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and, now, Arkham Origins) has, over the last 4 years, reinvigorated Batman as a serious game. Arguably, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are the best superhero games in recent memory. Unlike most superhero games, they were not just spin-offs of films. They were made with real love of…
What do you think was the big news story of the last week? The crisis in Syria? No. You and all major media outlets are wrong. The only story as far as my social media feeds were concerned last week was the casting of a man to play a fictional man who flies about and…
