Josh Reviews The Batman
In The Batman, writer/director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) brings us a new cinematic version of Batman. In this new version, Bruce Wayne has only been operating as Batman for about two years, but he’s already feeling that he’s getting nowher
Josh Reviews Peacemaker: Season One
Peacemaker was one of the most enjoyable surprises to come down the road in quite some time! I was not expecting to fall as head-over-heels in love with this show as I did! Writer/director James Gunn has crafted a beautiful and ferociously entertaining show. It’s absolutel

Josh Reviews The Suicide Squad
Five years after the first disappointing Suicide Squad film from DC/Warner Brothers comes another attempt at the property, the similarly-titled The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn. It’s sort of crazy to me that DC/Warner Brothers can’t or won’t ma

Josh Reviews Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
Despite my having a very negative opinion of most of the recent DC/Warner Brothers films, including the dreadful Suicide Squad (which is where Margot Robbie’s version of Harley Quinn first appeared), I was interested in seeing Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of On
Josh Review the DC Animated Film: Apokolips War
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War seems to be the finale of the “New 52” style continuity of animated films that began with 2014’s Justice League: War. Here in Apokolips War, the story circles back around to Darkseid (who was the main villain in Justice League: Wa
