DC Needs To Step Up Their Superhero Movie Production

There’s not doubt about it, superhero movies are absolutely huge right now. This summer alone we’re seeing Ironman, Hulk, Batman, and Hellboy all up on the big screen. Yet as I sit back and watch the success of superheroes movies I can’t help but wonder why DC isn’t taking full of advantage of the situation.

How The Batman Film Franchise Almost Went “Beyond”

In 1999 Warner Brothers was devising a plan for the next Batman film. Ever since the critical and finical failure of 1997’s Batman and Robin, Warner’s had to lay low from the franchise for a while.

Why Will Smith Is Probably Going to Suck (In) Hancock

A little over a decade ago, a script started floating around Hollywood entitled Tonight, He Comes about a superhero named Hancock who is the last of his kind in the middle of a PR nightmare. Now, we approach opening day for Hancock, which is set to star Will Smith, and expects to be a contender for the Superhero summer blockbuster, duking it out with Iron Man, which totally blew me away, and The Dark Knight, which you all know I can’t wait to see.

Oh Sonic 3, Where Art Thou?

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 have been on Xbox Live Arcade for quite some time now. Don’t get me wrong, I love them, but I’m growing a little tired just playing the first two over and over. I’m really itching to play Sonic the Hedgehog 3 again and I’m too lazy to get out my Genesis to do so.

Box Set Review – Sonic The Hedgehog “SatAM” (Shout Factory)

When I first learned that the Sonic The Hedgehog animated series (also known as SatAM) would be getting a full box set treatment I was thrilled. I like many so many other fans had been waiting for DiC’s second Sonic animated series to get a proper box set treatment as it is a fantastic animation achievement worthy of such a release.
