Who’s Your Favorite Supervillain?

Oh, the unfortunate soul should have had some idea of the rabbit hole they just decided to climb down. There’s just no way they couldn’t.

Brilliant, Brilliant Bane

Recently I’ve had cause to mull over The Dark Knight Rises, the fascinating finish to Christopher Nolan’s Batman films.

Batman + Sweat = Batsweat

This post is inspired by a conversation with none other than @TheInsaneRobin. He insisted that my recent post about Sybok from Star Trek preventing Thanos’ mass murdering impulses in Avengers: Infinity War was the nerdiest I’ve ever written, so I want to try to pick up that vibe again. I mean, I’d offer that my […]

The Last Movie

Is this all an argument against watching bad movies since, theoretically, each one could be the last one you see?

The Batman Blogs: The Car

When you hear the name “Batman,” perhaps the first thing you think of before Gotham, The Joker or killing off Robin is the Batmobile. The one and only stock car of heroism. Superman may be able to fly, but he’s never had a rad car like the Batmobile. Much like the average male, Batman makes […]

The Batman Blogs: The City

And now we turn our eye on the most critical design element of any Batman story. Gotham City. If anything, the Gotham City you get is the biggest indicator of what you can expect from any iteration of Batman. Dark and Brooding Gotham begets Dark and Brooding Batman, Garish Gotham begets Campy Batman, Rea–World Gotham […]

The Batman Blogs: The Villains

Is there anything better than a great villain? Batman has had his share of terrific villains. Anticipating a certain commenter’s video reply, Egg Head does not count in that list and never will. I’m a reasonable man, but I’m not budging on that. Batman’s villains are reflections back on the main character, showing what he […]

The Batman Blogs: Batman vs. Batman vs. Batman vs. Batman

So here we are. For the first entry in our series, I decided to examine the different portrayals of The Caped Crusader. The Dark Knight. The evolution of the Batman character itself has been fascinating. As mentioned in the Introduction blog, Batman speaks to certain identity issues that my generation currently is experiencing. Batman’s gone […]

The Batman Blogs: Introduction

Not too long ago, I blogged about reboots. Naturally, Batman came up in the course of conversation; I’m pretty sure that the first time I heard the term “reboot” was in conjunction with Christopher Nolan’s reinvention of the character’s life on screen. Now, everyone knows how much I loved Batman Begins and even moreso The […]

The Devil and The Dark Knight

It’s no secret that I love the movie The Dark Knight. I’ve loved it since I first saw it, and I’ve only grown to love it more. It’s been a couple of years since its release, but it resonates with me on a lot of levels still. If anything, I enjoy it even more now than I did then.
