Superheroes and the like is more prevalent in culture now than it ever has been before. Of course,, both character Halloween costumes have been available commercially for decades, but the costumes and the associated props keep getting better. Of course, there are exceptions and quirks. Take this Texas Chainsaw Massacre… hammer(?) as exhibit one. And…
There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to Batman Begins, but I tend to get hung up on the cast. This cast is amazing, but maybe my favorite performance is by Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone. The performance speaks for itself, but if you’re not familiar with Wilkinson, go check him out Michael…
There’s nothing quite like a good fight, is there? The finale to Justice League Unlimited delivers just that, but this confrontation between Superman and Darkseid is particularly memorable.

I can’t imagine things are going to go well when the young heroes learn about the machinations surrounding their attempts to do good work.
After a bit longer than I’d have liked, I finally got to see “The Batman.” I’ve been reading comics since the 80’s (yes, I’m old) and Batman is among my favorite characters.
