“Batman: Caped Crusader Season One” Review
In terms of Batman cartoons, none surpass Batman: The Animated Series. It’s the gold standard for the bat-dressed superhero and no Batman cartoon before or after has managed to surpass the quality writing, animation, voices, and atmosphere. So when Warner Bros approached to return to the animated series he had helmed, he wasn’t interested in rehashing. He did, however, start thinking about the ideas for Batman that were too adult for the Fox Kids timeslot. This led to Caped Crusader,...

“My Adventures With Superman: Season Two” Review
Although adorned with an anime influence, there’s a retro wholesomeness to My Adventures With Superman. Far from the dismal darkness of Zack Snyder’s interpretations and the bland ribbings of the LEGO movie, it’s refreshing to have a show that understand the hallmarks of what makes Superman a great superhero. Season two continues along the same route and approaches tougher topics of lineage, friendship, xenophobia, and romance more vocally than the first season.
There’s more of an ongoing st...

“My Spy: The Eternal City” Review
I barely recall the first My Spy film. Even for being released in the hazy streaming blitz of the 2020 pandemic, it was such a bland spy comedy that presented a Kindergarten Cop style plot that could sleep walk through and I wouldn’t blame him. I initially tossed aside the first film as being that obligatory Kindergarten Cop movie for tough-guy actors as a rite of package.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” Review
Where does Deadpool fit in with the current Marvel movie landscape? This is the question that serves as the entire basis for Deadpool & Wolverine, existing as much of a fitting roast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it is a fanboy dream of a team-up picture. The answer is that it ultimately doesn’t matter how well the merc with a mouth can mesh with the current crop of PG-13 superheroes. His fourth-wall punching and giddy gutting of comic books is what carries him more than any promise of hi...
