Anyway, we’ve looked back for long enough! It’s time to look forward. Let’s ponder possibilities for a Wonder Woman Sequel and what better way to do that than by looking into…

WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman
WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman As Part of Watchtower of Babel’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman Celebration, it’s time to take a look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series. The series was developed for Television by Stanley Ralph Ross (who also wrote for the Adam West Batman series and it shows) was produced by Love Boat Producer Douglas S Cramer (and it shows) and starred Lynda Carter (duh!) and Lyle Waggoner (playing both Steve Trevor and Later Steve Trevor Jr and we’ll get to that.) A lot of parenthetical asides already, I need to ratchet back before this becomes “Tangent: The Article.” Anyway,…

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…

The Watchtower of Babel News Team Weighs In on BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
After a nearly three-year wait, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now finally playing in theaters.

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: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
With the future of the DC universe hanging in the balance, many wonder if Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice can pull the weight of being both a good film and a jumping off point for future films. Director Zack Snyder’s epic blockbuster is a continuation of 2013’s Man of Steel, and the end events of that film directly tie into this film. Snyder’s decision to not shy away from the controversial ending of Man of Steel gives the director a chance to not only defend his previous work, but also to build upon it. Man of Steel opened to mixed reviews from critics, with many citing overly bombastic action and…

Review: BATMAN & ROBIN
There aren’t many people out there that genuinely think Batman & Robin is a good movie. There are, however, a lot of people that find it so bad that it’s good. I’m one of those people. This movie sucks. It wants to be a cool Batman movie, but it instead is an unintentional comedy complete with laughable character portrayals and cringe-worthy one-liners. Our story finds Batman (George Clooney) and his sidekick Robin (Chris O’Donnell) taking on Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), and Bane (Jeep Swenson) as Mr. Freeze attempts to freeze over Gotham City. In the opening scene, our titular heroes suit up. Director Joel Schumacher takes the…
