BATGIRL Moving Forward with New Screenwriter
A Batgirl movie was announced last year when Joss Whedon was hired to write and direct. However, two months ago, Whedon dropped out, saying that he couldn’t crack the story. Around that same time, it was reported that Batgirl would go on the backburner as DC shifts focus to its A-list heroes. However, the film is moving forward with a new writer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter Christina Hodson has been hired to take on Batgirl. In addition to the Bumblebee movie, Hodson previously wrote a script for Birds of Prey, a spinoff featuring many female DC characters. That was looked at as one of several Harley Quinn-centric spinoffs…

Retrospective Review: IRON MAN 2
This review is part of our 20 Days of Infinity War. Click here to for more WOBAM awesome. – Sirs and Misses, I’m gonna have to ask you to exit the donut and take a journey with me. The year is 2010; the film, Iron Man 2; and I, a wide eyed teenager, feigning little interest in the MCU. This was, in part, for a couple reasons. One, I only saw the first Iron Man after I bought it used from my Ingles Video Store. And the only reason I did that is because Iron Man was the only DVD I knew about that had the teaser trailer for the…

Retrospective: IRON MAN – 10 Years Later
We never truly understood what a superhero movie could be until the first Iron Man film hit theaters in 2008. We had classic films like Superman: The Movie, Batman ’89, Spider-Man, and Batman Begins; but none ever attempted to do what Iron Man did. Iron Man dared to try something that has rarely been done. It gave us a flawed hero. In the films mentioned above the heroes face challenges, and at times things seem to look insurmountable. Aside from Batman Begins, most superhero films make sure our heroes are pure. Whether they’re saving cats from trees or damsels in distress, one thing is clear, they’re the good guys. In…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Tracking for Massive $200 Million+ Opening Weekend
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is arguably the most anticipated comic book movie event in history. The film unites the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and more heroes in the ultimate battle to save Earth.
