Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review – The Age of Heroes Has Returned
So, this is awkward. Almost four years ago, I reviewed Justice League (2017). and enjoyed it for the Frankenstein it was. I was never a fan of Zack Snyder’s work and didn’t care to see his vision for the DC Universe continue. However, his Justice League changed everything. This is a weird review to write because it’s technically a movie you’ve already seen. The premise is straightforward. Like I said in 2017: “There’s an alien threat coming to take over the world. Batman assembles a team of heroes to try and stop them. It’s simple and straight to the point.” However, the biggest difference is the way Snyder treats his characters. We…

EDITORIAL: Why The Snyderverse Resonates With Me To This Day
Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Two of my favorite superhero movies of all time. These two movies have been a big part of my life ever since Man of Steel was released in 2013. No, they are not bright, colorful, and filled with unnecessary jokes. But they took three of the most well-known superheroes in the world and broke them down so that they can be rebuilt to the moral standards and ideals that people commonly associate with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Yes, you are supposed to question Batmans actions in BvS, the fact that he seem to have dropped his moral code of…

REVIEW: Superman & Lois 1×01: Pilot – It’s a Lois and Clark Solo Series, baby!
It’s 2021, y’all, and Lois Lane STILL doesn’t have a solo movie. On the other hand, it’s 2021 and Lois Lane has a co-staring TV Show now! That’s what you call loosing the battle but winning the war. Superman & Lois is the latest take on DC’s man in tights. Part of the Arrowverse, the show was developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti and stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, and Jordan Elsass & Alex Garfin as their sons Jonathan & Jordan. The show has a different feel from most Arrowverse-fare. It’s presented in anamorphic widescreen, making the show look like you’re watching a…

10 Characters We Want to See on SUPERMAN & LOIS
The CW‘s Arrowverse will expand with its next spinoff series next year. Superman & Lois shifts the focus to Clark Kent and his wife, as they balance the challenges of superheroics and raising two sons. The show is already confirmed to feature several new characters, such as Lana Lang and The Stranger (rumored to be an alternate version of Lex Luthor). The Arrowverse shows are known for focusing on characters from the comics. Some are making their live action debuts, while others are being re-adapted or even crossing over from other shows. That is expected to be the same with Superman & Lois. And considering the Man of Steel’s gallery…

Why Henry Cavill Needs to Play Superman Again
DC‘s movie universe began in 2013 with the release of Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill as Superman. Since then, Cavill has reprised the role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, cementing him as one of the faces of the franchise. He was expected to star in more movies, but then doubt entered the picture. Justice League‘s sequels were cancelled, Shazam! had a headless Superman cameo, and even plans for another Superman standalone film were put on hold. In 2018, it was reported that Warner Bros. was moving away from Superman, and Cavill would not reprise the role. The actor has remained hopeful that he will…

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…

SUPERGIRL Casts Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor for Season 4
Last month, it was announced that Lex Luthor is finally making his Arrowverse debut on Supergirl later this season.
