Josh Reviews Superman!
Back in October 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as co-heads of DC studios, and the two started working on an ambitious plan to relaunch a connected DC universe of films and TV shows. This new DCU got a soft launch this past year with the animated Creature Commandos
Josh Reviews the Animated Watchmen: Chapter Two!
As I wrote in my review of Watchmen: Chapter One — the first half of this two-part animated adaptation of Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons’ masterpiece from 1985-86 — I was dubious when I first read about this project. I love Watchmen and have read the original series
Josh Reviews Creature Commandos
Creature Commandos is a seven-episode animated series for MAX, based on the (somewhat obscure) characters and concepts from DC comics. James Gunn (who wrote and directed all three Guardians of the Galaxy films, and who is now the mastermind behind the revamped DC universe of movies
Josh Reviews The Penguin
Colin Farrell’s performance as the Penguin was a standout in Matt Reaves’s 2022 film The Batman. I instantly loved this reinvention of the Penguin. I loved his look; the prosthetics were amazing — Colin Farrell was completely unrecognizable, and yet the character

DC/Warner Brothers seems to be wrapping up their “Tomorrowverse” continuity of animated films with a three-part adaptation of the seminal 1985-86 mini-series Crisis on Infinite Earths (by Marv Wolfman and George Perez). I was excited by the idea of a three-movie adaptati
Josh Reviews the Animated Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One
Crisis on Infinite Earths remains one of the most seminal stories in DC Comics’ history. Crisis was a twelve-issue mini-series, written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez, that was released in 1985-1986. Crisis was an enormous crossover, featuring pretty much ev
