Prince´s ¨Batdance¨: A brief history of a track that—for better or worse—changed the music industry and Batman forever. 

  Picture an era before the current grittiness we associate with the crime-riddled streets of Gotham City. Before critics and fans deplored the casting of Heath Ledger and eyebrows were raised at George Clooney’s controversial nipple suit, there was Tim Burton’s Batman. Every odd was against this film from its inception. Burton created whimsical, horror-adjacent films, while Michael Keaton was known as a skinny, comedic actor. Neither were…

Superman & Lois: Head On

The writing on Superman and Lois has consistently been really good. They’ve taken a lot of interesting approaches to things and made some great choices. Lois having cancer is, to the best of my recollection, the first time they’ve gone in that direction, and it’s the kind of crisis that all of Superman’s powers can’t do anything about. Dealing with the issues related to that, the Kent/Lane family face it the only way they can: “Head On.”

Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League

I’ve been a fan of Cheshire since she first appeared back in New Teen Titans Annual 2, and she’s been a recurring villain with a very complicated relationship with one Titan in particular ever since. And Cheetah, in one version or another, has been around since the Golden Age. I also like a good heist story, so I decided to check this series out.

My Adventures with Superman: Adventures of a Normal Man, Part 2

I have some mixed feelings about “My Adventures With Superman,” and I’ve been trying to work out why. I think, for me, it comes down to the cutesy animae art style. Since comics, cartoons, and especially cartoons based on comics are very visual mediums, the look of these is very important, at least to me. That said, the writing and new takes on old characters have been really well done, as was the case in “Adventures of a Normal Man part 2.”

Superman

In 1978, Christopher Reeve brought Superman to movie theaters in what many consider the best take on the role. There have been many different takes on the character since then. My personal top three, as of today, are Christopher Reeve, David Corenswet, and Tyler Hoechlin. Superman is back, and acting like the great hero and incredibly caring man many of us adore and prefer. As with all my current movie reviews, I will do my best to remain spoiler free.

As Superman prepares to soar back into theaters, we’re seeing more scenes with some of the supporting characters. Since most of them aren’t the best known, it seemed like a good time to go over who some of them are.

Sandman: Dream of 1,000 Cats/Caliope

The Netflix adaptation of The Sandman has had a lot of surprises. One of them was that the first season ends with a bonus episode, a part of Sandman lore but having nothing at all to do with the storyline in the rest of the season. “The Dream of 1,000 Cats” and “Calliope” were both stand alone issues of the original comic run of Sandman, and their two stories make up this unique “extra feature.”

Titans: Brother Blood

The version of the character on the show so far is very different, but a lot more interesting in many ways. Sebastian, fated to become Brother Blood, has been an important character for this season. We see the transformation continuing in this episode, named for the man himself, “Brother Blood.”
