  • How The Flash Could Have Been Better

    How The Flash Could Have Been Better

    The Flash has been out for over a week now, and since it dropped 73% from its opening weekend, it’s safe to say the movie is not resonating. I didn’t like it – although I loved parts of it – and think it collapses under its own weight. But did it have to be this…

    The Flash: FLASHPOINT (Paradox) | Comic Lore and History REVISTITED

    INTRODUCTION “There’s only one thing I know about life. I know some things happen by chance. And some things happen because we make them happen. Barry Allen was once haunted by the past. But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind. He found love. A family. And for the first time ever……

    REVIEW: The Flash (2023)

    I’m not sure I’d call The Flash a mixed bag; that implies a fairly equal good-to-bad ratio, and The Flash is more bad than good by a wide margin.

    New Flash Trailer is All About Batman

    Warner Bros. Discovery is hoping the Dark Knight will reverse DC’s cinematic downward spiral.

An adaptation of the popular comic book story…

    Blue Beetle Trailer Reminds You That Blue Beetle is a Thing

    Remember Blue Beetle, the other DC movie coming out this year? Me neither, but it’s got a trailer! Blue Beetle is the story of Jaime Reyes, who is given a cybernetic scarab beetle that attaches to him and turns him into a superhero (as near as I can tell; the trailer is a little jumbled).…

  • Why Did Shazam!: Fury of the Gods Bomb?

    Why Did Shazam!: Fury of the Gods Bomb?

    There’s no spinning or gerrymandering this one; Shazam!: Fury of the Gods is a bomb. In terms of quality, I don’t think it should have been; I liked it very much (as did Tuggs, whose review you can read here), and unlike, say, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (or pretty much anything Marvel has put…
