The DC Extended Universe is one of the absolute strangest franchises in recent memory. From the very beginning it was a pretty blatant attempt to copy the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while seeing everything that made that series such a massive hit, and doing the […]
Earlier this month I declared that August’s Marvel Madness posts would be devoted to the strange world of inter-company cross-over stories, which began with me sharing the very first time that comics’ two biggest companies, Marvel and DC, crossed over together. That resulted in a surprisingly […]
Last August I decided, rather spontaneously, to devote that month’s two Marvel Madness posts to a very strange pair of comics. Inter-company cross-over stories between the Big Two superhero comics companies, Marvel and DC. Sadly, it doesn’t happen much any more, but over the decades the Big […]
This Cinematic Century project first started life several years ago when a stupid fad was sweeping through Twitter. Basically, people were tasked with picking a favorite film from each year they’ve been alive, and then sharing it so people could mock their choices and marvel at how […]

Two weeks ago I discussed an absolutely insane comic, that I by and large didn’t think worked out that well. It was the story of Batman and Daredevil stopping a crime-spree by Two-Face and Mr. Hyde, and was the first time I’d ever dipped my toes […]
Did you all know that in the 1990’s Marvel and DC toyed around quite a bit with the idea of cross-overs? There are probably a whole litany of reasons, most of which revolving around the utter insanity that the comic book industry was in during that […]
Oh the DC Extended Universe. The little franchise that couldn’t. We’re three films into this experiment now, and things are looking bleak. Which is seriously a bummer. I discussed this in my rant against Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but even though I’m a Marvel guy, I […]
Back in 2010 a comic came out called Batman/Superman #75, and one of the features of the book was this short little homage to Calvin and Hobbes featured DC’s two biggest profile villains. It’s pretty fantastic. It also really gets into how different the two characters, and how they interact […]
