The animated Harley Quinn series is back for a fourth season. In an interesting media crossover, some of what happened between seasons three and four was covered in a comic book limited series, “Legion of Bats.” But now the show is back, with, among other things, Harley and Ivy trying to find a new balance in their lives, since Harley is working with the Bat-family in Batman’s absence, and Ivy is running the Legion of Doom. Talk about a mixed marriage.
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…
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.”
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.
For this episode, they veer off in another direction entirely, as none of the main cast even show up while they parody some characters from another company. The Doom Patrol gets a break as the story shifts elsewhere in “Casey Patrol.”
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.”
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.
Life has been busy, so I got behind on a few things, including trailers. I recently got a chance to catch up on several of them, so I thought I’d give a run through of what I saw and my reactions. There’s some great looking stuff coming up.
