Josh Reviews the Legion of Super-Heroes Animated Movie
Legion of Super-Heroes is the latest direct-to-blu-ray DC animated movie. It’s a well-made depiction of the classic DC team of futuristic super-heroic teens. The story opens with the origin of Kara Zor-El, Supergirl. We see how she survived the destruction of Krypton and t
Josh Reviews Battle of the Super Sons
The latest DC direct-to-blu-ray/DVD animated film, Battle of the Super Sons, is a surprisingly entertaining action/adventure yarn with solid animation and fun, interesting characters. It’s one of the best DC animated films in years. I would not have guessed that I would hav
