But not just any part of Tatooine! He’s going to Mos Eisley!

Avatar: The Last Airbender and Eastern Philosophy
Avatar: The Last Airbender is easily my favorite series. It has fantastic world-building, unforgettable characters, and a terrific soundtrack. One thing I feel often gets overlooked is its use of eastern philosophy and religion as a whole. Faith is a huge part of the series, and today we’re going to be shedding light on why it’s so important. The Avatar What is the Avatar? Well, to keep things short, Wan (the first Avatar) had his life force merged with Raava (the spirit of peace and light). Wan is the human host for Raava (he’s her Avatar). The title makes sense now, huh? Wan is a Jesus-esque character; he’s half-man, half-god.…

THEORY: Rian Johnson’s Evil Scheme to Ruin Our Childhoods Finally Exposed?
Three years ago this month, I exposed the nefarious scheme orchestrated by the brilliant minds at Marvel to infiltrate the DCEU with their spy Zack Snyder. What I failed to focus on at the time was the organization above Marvel that pulled the strings the entire time: Disney. Along with my brilliant team of researchers, academics, and investigative journalists, I’ve spent the last three years digging into the shocking secrets Disney hid from us for so long. Disney have recently been recruiting new members, with the latest addition to their empire being Rian Johnson. Yes, that Rian Johnson. Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out over a year ago, and…

Feature: Five Reasons for Robert Pattinson as Batman
Last week I talked about Ben Affleck not being in the Matt Reeves directed Batman movie. Now that it’s official he won’t return, there’s rumors and fan casting going around for Robert Pattinson as Batman. There’s many reasons he could be gold in the role, but here’s five. 1. Box Office Draw The first reason is his box office pull. Sure, he did the Twilight movies, and yes they ranged from okay to garbage. But they still made a ton of money, and that is something Warner Bros is aware of. You should never underestimate an actor’s Box Office draw. 2. Acting Prowess The second reason is his acting talents. Again,…

Why Tom King’s ‘Batman’ Is The Best Superhero Comic Out
What makes a great superhero comic? It’s a tough question. You can look back through the decades and a few really standout: Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man, Brubaker’s Captain America, Johns’ Justice League and Snyder’s Batman. And in all honesty, I’m not sure where you put Hickman’s run at Marvel in the 2010s? It spawned two of the best events in the last decade, Infinity and Secret Wars, and somehow it was all connected. What he did is beyond words. What do all these comics have in common? Sorry, it’s not some out-of-the-box answer, but simply, a clear beginning, middle and end. And that does make a difference. It gives the reader a…

Review: THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN
Directed By: Sam Liu, Jake Castorena Based Upon: “The Death of Superman” by DC Comics Wow. Just wow. The End. JUST KIDDING. The non-spoiler review is below. I might do a spoiler review after the movie is out on all platforms. I was enormously impressed with this film. The DC Animated Movie Universe has neverrr caught my eye in the slightest, but this one really takes everything I hated from the last movies and tosses out the window. We get to see a more balanced Clark Kent, yet also a more… troubled Clark. Gah this is hard to do without so many spoilers. I wish we’d had this fight with…

I Lost a Bet and Had to Watch BATMAN AND HARLEY QUINN. Hold Me While I Sob…
Have you ever made a bet? That intuition fueled guessing game that delivers the instant satisfaction of being right, or makes you fall flat on your face? I don’t make bets often; but when I do, they’re always with a purpose. In this particular instance, I made a bet with fellow WOBAM contributor Isak Wolff: if Son Goku was announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he had to review the John Goodman-starring Myst parody, PYST; if Son Goku wasn’t announced for Smash Bros., then I had to review Batman and Harley Quinn. You can guess who lost that bet. When WOBAM’s’s very own Paul Romano reviewed Batman and Harley Quinn,…
