ULTIMATE AVENGERS II: The [Spoiler] Review
Welcome back for another installment of our 7 Days of Black Panther series! Today I will be giving you my insight on Ultimate Avengers II: Rise of the Panther. Now I’ve done some bare minimum research, and what I’ve found isn’t too encouraging, but we can hope for the best here yes? Now!

Retrospective Review: BATMAN Soundtrack by Prince
Batman and Prince go together shockingly well. The Batman character and Prince’s music and public persona are complete opposites yet somehow Prince was able to make an entire hit album to go along with the 1989 film. Batman (1989) is a true testament to how talented Prince was. It’s been nearly thirty years since the Batman film and album were released. In the thirty years since dozens of superhero films have been released. Their success at the box office and their success with critics has overshadowed Batman to point where it has become an afterthought in most people’s minds. The Dark Knight trilogy has replaced the Batman films of…
