Josh Reviews the Animated Adaptation of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (Part 1)!
Released in 1986, Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is one of the most seminal Batman stories ever written, and certainly one of the finest super-hero comic-book stories ever told. The Dark Knight Returns forever changed the depiction of Batman, a

Our first glimpse of Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, The Man of Steel, has arrived! Here’s an alternate version, with narration from Jor-El (Russell Crowe) rather than Pa Kent (Kevin Costner): I prefer the Pa Kent version myself, though both are strong. This is a very s

Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War
One of the new DC comics I started reading following the DCU’s line-wide relaunch (called “The New 52”) was Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern. I’ve been really enjoying it, so I decided to go back and catch up on the saga Mr. Johns has been weaving in the Green
