I think about things: TDKR Edition

  I think about things. Probably more than I ought to, but I do. Specifically, I tend to think about Superheroes a ton. One of my favorite past times, odd as it may seem, is thinking about either where I would go with DC properties in the media, or where existing ones are headed. To [...]

Whedon’s Avengers – A Love Story?

Yesterday, Marvel Entertainment released a brand new trailer for the upcoming Avengers film helmed by Joss Whedon. This trailer, the third they’ve released, ups the action again, giving us perhaps our best look to date at just what this film will be about.

The New Supercostume

You know how it is. A photo of a superhero is released, the internet goes mad, and you just can’t stop looking at it. I know I sure can’t. Yesterday’s revealing image of Zack Snyder’s Superman was a stark contrast to the reveal image of Bryan Singer’s Superman, and set a very clear tone for [...]
