Which Director Understood Batman?. Top Story - February 2022.
Batman is one of the best characters in fiction. Not just comic books. Fiction; a tragic figure with identity issues, post-traumatic stress, perhaps sociopathy. Batman’s popularity has outlasted most of the heroes that debuted in his day because you can take him, drop him on an alien planet and he’d still be Batman. At first, he was a pulp hero; a crazy masked guy with a gun. This was wisely retconned, making Batman more layered, the reason he’s one of the most popular comic characters ever. But what makes Batman…Batman? The costume, Bruce Wayne’s handsome billionaire playboy persona, martial arts expertise; a man in peak physical condition who’s also a genius. He fights extravagant psychotic villains. He has complicated relationships with his butler/father figure, Alfred, and his surrogate Bat Family. He has a strict moral code, refusing to murder even the most violent criminals, and finally his compassion, the core of Batman. I’ve obsessed over him my whole life. I’m not exaggerating. It’s bad.

Why 'Peacemaker' Is The Best DC TV Show To Date
DC movies have always been quite epic and dark and often lacking humor. Enter James Gunn and The Suicide Squad. James Gunn not only managed to keep the dark and gritty DC feel while injecting a bucket load of humor into the mix. The Suicide Squad was to DC what Guardians of the Galaxy was to Marvel. This writer was very excited when it was announced that James Gunn would be taking on a spin-off television show using the Peacemaker character.

On The Set Of HBO Max's 'Batgirl' | With Exclusive Behind The Scene Pictures
Despite my relatively small hometown of Glasgow not being Scotland’s capital and not as well known throughout the rest of the world, it has become somewhat of a popular filming destination for some big movies. In the last two years alone, it has seen the glitz and glamor of Hollywood on several occasions with the likes of The Batman (starring Robert Pattinson), The Flash (starring Ezra Miller along with Michael Keaton’s triumphant return to the role of the Dark Knight) and Indiana Jones 5 (starring the legend that is Harrison Ford) using the city center as an American backdrop.

Moon Knight Stories To Read Before The Show
The next series coming to Disney+ is Moon Knight, which begins March 30th, starring Oscar Issac as Marc Spector/Moon Knight. Moon Knight has never been a mainstream comic book character and if you were a fan, you likely knew a lot about comics. First appearing in Werewolf by Knight #32 in 1975, Moon Knight did not receive his first stand-alone series until 1980, which ran for 38 issues. With the upcoming series looming, some folks may want to do what I call "fan homework," the fun kind of homework. The following list of Moon Knight stories should provide a strong foundation before diving into the series. Happy reading!

Thanos Tried To Be A Hero. Top Story - January 2022.
The MCU has had many great villains throughout its existence. Killmonger, Hela, Ultron, all of them were villains that captured our attention with ease. However, there is no greater villain than the Big Bad himself, Thanos. One could even argue that he is up there with Darth Vader and Voldemort for greatest movie villains of all time. The thing is as good of a bad guy as he was, it has been pointed out that his long list of horrible actions might have been carried out with the greater good in mind. Now that The Eternals has come and gone from theaters, we have been given further evidence to support this argument. Sure he may have snapped half of all life in the universe out of existence but was it all in the name of saving all life in the universe. Imagine that, one of the greatest movie villains of all time was trying to be a hero.
