The Flash (2×18) – “Versus Zoom” Written by: Joe Peracchio & David Kob Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski After a quick retelling of the night Nora was murdered and a scene from the night Joe brought Barry into his home for contrast we slide on over to Earth-2 and see the night Hunter Zolomon’s mother was murdered. Unlike Barry, Hunter’s mom was actually killed by her father right in front of and instead of being taken into a loving home by a family friend, lil’ Hunter is dropped off at the Central City evil orphanage where he will no doubt receive the same loving care that made Tom Riddle into the…

Five Things DC Films Must Do to Make Up for BvS (According to the Internet)
The following editorial reflects in the views of the staff of Watchtower of Babel in total. We spoke on this and agreed to everything within. Okay! So, Batmurder -v- Stupidman: Yawn of Justice bombed in theaters. Sure it’s only been out in fourteen days and sure it had the biggest opening in March ever and yeah it’s already made more money in that time than Man of Steel’s entire theatrical run but guys… We all know it bombed. We just know. I mean, I saw it four times in theaters but that was just four times, if it was great I’d probably have seen it like eight or nine times…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 2×17 – “Flash Back”
The Flash (2×17) – “Flash Back” Written by: Aaron and Todd Helbing Directed by: Alice Troughton So, here we go. Again. The team has discovered that their friend was an enemy in disguise and Barry is taking it hard because “Fool Team Flash once, shame on Thawne… Fool Team Flash twice, shame on Team Flash.” He’s in the midst of a research montage as we open trying to crack the science behind his powers. (And after he figures out that science maybe he can finally tell us why repolarizing the main deflector dish on the Enterprise seems to solve every problem.) Meanwhile “Jay’s” helmet is giving off so many vibes…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 2×16 – “Trajectory”
The Flash (2×16) – “Trajectory” Written by: Lilah Vanderburgh & Lauren Certo Directed by: Glen Winter Okay! So between working thirteen days in a row, a little indie film I went and saw about the Dawn (Go ahead, ask me if I loved Batman v Superman!) and winter’s parting gift of a chest cold I’m not exactly timely with my Flash review but enough with the procrastination and on with the review. When we last left Barry and Team Flash he’d vowed to get fast enough to return to Earth-2, defeat Zoom and avenge Jay’s death. What better way to do that than recreate Evel Knievel at the Snake River…

REVIEW: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) Written By: Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal Directed By: Sidney J Furie I opened my reviews of Superman III and Supergirl with a question, so it’s only fair to ask one going into this one. What were they thinking? I’m kidding… Kind of, but to ask this question I have to set the scene. After Superman III and Supergirl, the Salkinds felt that maybe the bloom was off the rose and it was time to walk away. Enter Cannon Films. For those of you that aren’t film geeks, Cannon Films was a studio not unlike The Asylum (Makers of the Sharknado series.) They…

REVIEW: Supergirl (1984)
Supergirl (1984) Written By: David Odell Directed By: Jeannot Szwarc I opened the Superman III review with the question of following up two hit films. Well, the question today is similar: How do you follow up on Superman III? The film was far from loved by the general public and Reeve had cooled on coming back after the experience of making it so now you are potentially without the actor who is the beating heart of your film franchise. Fortunately, if you are the Salkinds you have a potential ace up your sleeve. When they purchased the film rights for Superman in the seventies they also purchased the rights to…

The Hype is Real: SUPERGIRL/FLASH Teaser Video Released
So before we dig in, allow me to eat crow for a second. Ask anyone here at WOBAM Entertainment and they will tell you I said last fall that the DC/CW-Verse would never crossover with Supergirl. My reasons were that CBS wouldn’t really gain much from the crossover since the CW’s reach is much smaller than theirs and the logical choice for CBS would be an attempt to crossover with the Film Universe. I was wrong, but we all win. In two weeks, Barry Allen makes his way to National City and meets Kara Danvers. We’ve already had this cool teaser poster: Then yesterday, Paul gave you a taste of…

Review: SUPERMAN III
Superman III (1983) Written By: David and Leslie Newman Directed By: Richard Lester Here’s a question: How do you follow up on the massive success of Richard Donner’s Superman and Richard Lester’s Superman II? Donner and Tom Mankiewicz are gone and if you’re the Salkinds you see this as an opportunity to finally bring your vision of Superman to the screen. So, do you bring in Brainiac and Supergirl and team them up with Mister Mxyptlik? Well, Warner Brothers wasn’t keen on that so you go back to the drawing board and that’s when it happens! Richard Pryor, one of the greatest comedic voice in history is on Johnny Carson…

Villainy Incorporated: Five Villains for WONDER WOMAN
As part of our celebration of Batman v Superman, we turn our attention towards the future of DC Films and Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot has a long journey in front of her as she films her first solo film and will shift right into production of Justice League Part One come April but she doesn’t have to do it alone. After all, a heroine is only as good as her villains and so the other day Paul dragged me out of my Patty Spivot shrine, slapped me around and tasked me with coming up with five villains to face off with the Princess of Themyscira on the Silver Screen. Now,…
