When it comes to animated superhero properties, my knowledge is rather limited. The only one that I had any insight into was, of course, Batman. Prime Video’s Batman: Caped Crusader proved a major surprise upon release in 2024. The show was a darker, noir-focused, and genuinely unique take on the …
I’ll admit I walked into this one with my guard up. Every trailer drop for Spider-Man: Brand New Day — and I avoided them like the plague, though there’s only so much a person can dodge — kept adding another name to an already overstuffed-looking roster: Bruce Banner / Hulk …
San Diego Comic-Con is well underway, and there’s been a ton of exciting news. But perhaps nothing has been more anticipated than Marvel’s return to the vaunted Hall H with their last appearance being in 2024. Just look at the line for people trying to get in to see the …
Note: This review contains some mild spoilers for season 5 of The Boys. Back in 2019, The Boys burst onto the scene by having a supe burst through an actual person. This year, we have the fifth and final season, and it is an absolutely wild ride to an explosive …
While I’m a huge self-appointed Marvel nerd, I have to be honest…The Punisher has never been one of my favorite characters. When I was still pretty young, my eldest sister met a guy who would eventually become my brother-in-law, who was obsessed with The Punisher. So much so that he …
It’s over, the Joker is dead, and Gotham is saved. There is a lot of cleaning up to do and a lot of people who need help, but Bruce Wayne can handle it; Batman is no longer needed. Or is he? There is still a lot of crime in Gotham. …
Gotham is still reeling from Joker’s attack on the city last year. Crime hasn’t gotten any better, even with Batman swinging around, and the city is like a fire looking for a match. And the Riddler is set to be that match. Backed by the Servants of Freedom, a paramilitary …
The new Disney+ series Marvel Zombies builds on a single episode from season one of What If…?, What If…Zombies?, which first imagined a world where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had become its greatest threat. Directed by Bryan Andrews and written by Zeb Wells, the four-episode miniseries introduces a new group of …
Fans of David Corenswet’s Superman will not have to wait long to see him again. Writer-director and DC Studios co-head James Gunn announced on Instagram that the next chapter in his “Superman Saga”, Man of Tomorrow, is set to fly into theaters on July 9, 2027. With the reveal came …
It’s been a quiet few weeks since the incredible suit reveal for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Since that teaser dropped on Spider-Man Day, I’ve been living on the high of finally seeing a classic, homemade suit that feels like the scrappy Peter Parker I grew up with. But as comic …

We are now coming to the final leg of our Superman review journey. Seven years after Superman Returns, another attempt was made for the titular hero on the big screen. Directed by Zack Snyder, this was an attempt to jumpstart a new universe. As many know, that universe never came …
Superman IV: the Quest for Peace was considered a massive failure upon release. With such a poor response, it forced film studios to evaluate the need for more Superman movies. The result of which forced the franchise to remain dormant for years. Nineteen years later, another attempt was made with …
Eight years after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, it became apparent that a sequel wasn’t going to happen. While financially profitable, neither film (including the 2005 original) was a critical success. That made the prospect of an eventual Fantastic Four remake feel inevitable. That is what intrigued everyone …
With the success of 2005’s Fantastic Four, a sequel seemed like a rather obvious feat. That is, especially in an era when superhero movies were emerging. Grossing over 330 million dollars worldwide (a massive hit for the time), a sequel was inevitable. Even against lackluster reviews, audiences wanted to see …
2025’s Fantastic Four: First Steps hopes to reignite the love for The Marvel Cinematic Universe. That film aims to continue the larger story at play, while also reintroducing classic heroes into an ever-expanding framework. It’s a tall order due to the history of these characters and their previous lackluster adaptations. …
In film criticism, talking about a bad movie is easy. For many, discussing something negative can be enjoyable and cathartic. Breaking down the “why” and “how” a film doesn’t work can be fun. Attacking those aspects can be both an entertaining and educational prospect for film critics, as it enables …
After the juggernaut films of Superman and Superman II, Superman III was inevitable. Coming three years after Superman II, Superman III had a significant challenge ahead.

Superman is more than just a good comic book movie; it’s a good movie and is especially relevant in the moment we find ourselves in as a world. The newest film from James Gunn, and the opener to the renewed DC universe under the banner of the Gunn and Safran-led …
