FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×17- “Liberation”
The Flash (6×17)- “Liberation” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Jeff Byrd We start off with Cisco, Ralph and Barry making at first attempt at the reboot of the Speed Force and it goes about as well as you’d expect any attempt at something like this to be while we’re still in late Act Two of our story arc. A whole lot of noise, then a whole lot of nothing. (To be fair, there were some promising signs to suggest that something will reignite the Speed Force but we’ll get there.) That’s when Cecile shows up trying to get Barry and Iris to reconcile but Barry’s not…

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – But Should He?
So, recently my good friend Paul wrote a feature on why it’s okay for Batman to kill. It’s a great piece and shows both sides of the argument. However, I think we can go just a little bit deeper. Yes, Batman has killed villains and will, without a doubt, do it again soon, but should he? Finding The Bat’s Identity Batman has had a long 80-year comic book run and plenty of different adaptations by several writers. We should go back to the source. As Paul mentioned in the previous post, Batman killed in his first few appearances. The character was still new and was staying true to that pulp/gritty…

Review: A Parks & Recreation Special
The world of entertainment seems have come to a screeching halt as of late, thanks to COVID-19, so blockbuster movies from the likes of No Time To Die and Black Widow (among dozens of others) have been pushed back to later in the year, tentpole television shows like Falcon & The Winter Soldier and Stranger Things 4 have halted production, and some of the most highly anticipated films of 2021 like The Batman and Jurassic World: Dominion have paused filming. That didn’t stop showrunner Mike Schur from giving the world a brand new episode of his beloved workplace sitcom Parks & Recreation, five years after the series finale; and all…

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – And That’s OK
It’s one of the most hotly debated issues in comic book history. It has broken the Internet, fractured friendships, and affected how people view fictional characters. I am, of course, talking about the discussions regarding Batman‘s “no-kill rule.” On the one hand, we have people who believe Batman shouldn’t kill in any situation, period. On the other hand, we have people who want Batman to kill his enemies. Both are valid viewpoints, but are either of them factual? Batman is a character who needs no introduction. He has existed in comics for over 80 years, and he has been adapted in countless films and television shows. This has led to…

How CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Redeemed Brandon Routh’s Superman
The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover included many beloved characters from past DC films and television shows. One of the most significant was Brandon Routh’s Superman. Routh played the Man of Steel in 2006’s Superman Returns, which was intended to be a continuation of the Christopher Reeve Superman series. Despite positive reviews from critics, the film underperformed at the box office and received mixed reactions from fans. This led to sequel plans being scrapped and the franchise being rebooted. So, fans probably were not expecting Routh to play Superman again. Fast-forward over a decade, and things have changed. Routh took on another DC hero role – this time as…
