The Flash (2023)

“Don’t let your tragedy define you.” 2011’s Flashpoint story, which played out across multiple DC titles, provides the backbone….and not much else, for 2023’s The Flash. If you’re familiar with Geoff Johns’ story, you know that in it, Barry Allen upsets the timeline by traveling back to the point where his mother dies and preventingContinue reading “The Flash (2023)”

Spin Master The Flash 2023 Action Figures

“Run, Barry, Run.” Let me be completely upfront about this review. I purchased two of the available five figures in this new line from Spin Master. One of the reasons is that I really only wanted the Michael Keaton Batman figure but decided to pick up the Ezra Miller Flash figure strictly for comparison.

Burning With Style!

Paper And Pencils On Fire! Life can be a real jerk sometimes.  A few weeks ago I promised our latest heat-seeking answer man, Frederick Bernard Roseman, that I would post his replies to my latest Ten Burning Questions by the end of the week before Christmas.  Life derailed that plan, so I’m going to tryContinue reading “Burning With Style!”

Haven’t I Seen This Before?

Again…And One More Time I recently posed a question to my readers via Facebook asking them what topics they would like me to blog about.  Of the thousands of requests (okay, just two) that I received, I decided to go with Hollywood’s recent surplus of reboots, rewrites, re-imagined stories (my personal favorite), and updated versionsContinue reading “Haven’t I Seen This Before?”

Rank: Top Ten Film Portrayals of Superheroes

From The Page To The Screen The greatest time to be a fan of comics and film is right now.  There is a plethora of excellent comic stories to flesh out on the big screen, but it has only been within the last fifteen or so years that special effects companies have figured out howContinue reading “Rank: Top Ten Film Portrayals of Superheroes”
