Bring back Batman: Beyond?

This was a really cool cartoon for it’s time I remember when this debuted on Kids WB. The fact that Bruce is to old be Batman and names his predecessor Terry Macginus a high school teenager. Shows Macginus learning from his mentor and shows Bruce still hanging on to the moment with satiate gps, video and audio surveillance on Terry. Yet Terry does not mind it and comes to except it and even admits at times he likes having his mentor looking over his shoulder. This cartoon was kind dark for it’s time especially as a kids cartoon but for a 3 season run and a few caminos on other cartoons had a great run.

What do you think? Punisher and Eminem?

Everyone remembers The Punisher crossover with Archie, but a more recent comic crossover involved the Punisher crossing paths with the Rapper Eminem?


It just seems odd to have a crossover with Eminem. The worst part about the story is that the Punisher mows down Eminem’s crew and then Slim Shady teams up with him afterwards? Really. Then, there is the twist that the Parents Council was involved in the contract hit on Eminem. Really?


I’m sure some people actually liked the crossover. Marvel wanted to open up their universe to new readers, but this seems a little strange.

How are MARVEL supposed to follow up to X-Men Origins: Wolverine with a movie for Deadpool?

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine the best person to possibly play Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds was absolutely amazing in his part in the film in the first 30 minutes with amazing slow motion shots with cutting bullets in half and killing 12 men in 30 seconds. But! Then "the merc with a mouth" gets his mouth sown shut!?  AND gets Cyclops' power of optic energy beams and Wolverines powers but with 2 samurai swords instead of metal claws? The one original quality they give him is the teleportation but according to Deadpool's most recent comic book (Wolverine and Deadpool) wasn't even a power it was a teleportation devise?

Even so it has been confirmed that Deadpool is getting a film in 2014 which is I'm not sure how it will work and is starring Ryan Reynolds (THANK GOD) and is a Marvel and 20th Century Fox (F***(<the reason is that fox basically ruin any superhero film they get there hands on)).

So to summarize Deadpool in 2014 and Ryan Reynolds good, Fox terrible

Why Ben Affleck ruined the 2003 DareDevil movie

I’m just going to come out and say, I don’t like this movie. It has moments here and there that are alright but over all it’s pretty forgettable and in some parts down right bad. Released in 2003 it actually did very well at the box office even “garnering” a spin-off ELEKTRA in 2005, a movie which proved tremendously BAD but BETTER than this film! After the film was released Ben Affleck essentially said he would play Daredevil again if the next movie was darker. However a couple years later he said this, “by playing a superhero in Daredevil, I have inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero… Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn’t want to do again soon.” That’s my biggest compliant straight away. Ben Affleck is almost definitely not a superhero like Toby Maguire or Edward Norton. What I mean is he is not the worst person suited to play a superhero just not the best.


Admittedly though the film has an awesome cameo with Stan Lee where a young Matt Murdock is standing at a crosswalk next to Stan who’s reading a newspaper. Stan starts blindly walking into the street almost getting hit by a car but doesn’t, because young Matt blocks Stan’s path with his pole.


Matt’s relationship with Elektra is not very cool. When they meet, there is resistance from Elektra to Matt’s advances. This culminates in a face off between the two. It’s like in nature when the male has to fight the female and conquer her before mounting her. During their fight Matt asks “So does every guy have to go through all this just to get your name?” Elektra replies, “Try asking for my number.” It just makes me cringe a little. There’s a good piece of dialogue between Matt and his friend/legal partner Franklin. Matt says “She’s outta my league and I’d rather just end it before it starts.” Franklin says “That’s gotta be some kind of record Matt. You just completely bypassed the whole relationship phase you went right straight into the break up.” Who can’t relate to giving up on something without even trying because you don’t have faith?


That’s what the movie’s kind of about. Matt regains his lost faith and hope through Elektra to realize that one mancan make a difference and then keeps on dispensing justice. Well that’s kind of cool, but then after they do get together they have this really cheesy love scene. And I mean cheesy. I can’t play the music but if you haven’t heard it, it’s bad. They sit facing each other holding and caressing one another. It even comes complete with a close up shot of Elektra making a point of touching his scars with her finger tips. It’s forced, it’s fake, it doesn’t suspend my belief that I’m watching two young lovers and not two actors. There’s lots of that in the whole film. A lot of the acting is cartoony, the stunts look fabricated. You can see the awkward movements and see that they’re being pulled by a harness or some other unnatural contraption. Their reaction times also seem slow in fight scenes so there’s no suspense; you can basically tell where their blow is going to land.


The music in this film is also unbelievably bad. I prefer a score to modern music for most movies. It slips into the back of your mind and melds with what is currently going on in the movie. Watching a film with lots of drama or action is strange when you remove the music. A score would have been much better suited for this film, or at least a better selection of music. Hoobastank? Uhhhh, another cringe moment. The one redeeming factor for this movie is the graphics for Daredevil’s bat-like sonar sight which became referred to by the animators as the “shadow world.” It’s cool getting to see the waves of sound travel or smell turned into sight. And the appearance of rain hitting objects is pretty neat as well. But that’s about it. There’s nothing really memorable or thoroughly enjoyable about this movie. It’s mostly bad acting, badly chosen music, and bad stunt work… followed by an even worse spin off. But don’t let me deter you from watching it. There are people out there who like it, so you might too.
