The Neglected Nemeses: Harley Quinn
While Batman arguably has some of the best rogues out there, they are also some of the hardest to portray on the big screen in such a way that both does the character justice and makes them believable and relevant. Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy are perfect examples of that. In Batman & Robin, both [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Black Tom Cassidy
In this installment of The Neglected Nemeses, we are headed back tot he Marvel Universe and the X-Men mythos, with a villain that is often over-looked as a substantial bad guy. The X-Men film franchise has been the topic of many debates, mostly due to its timeline and the use of random characters, rather than [...]
Who is Boo Boo Stewart Playing in Days of Future Past? How About Forge?
We just barely dropped some news that Daniel Cudmore will be reprising his role of Colossus in Brian Singers upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past film. Previously, we’ve seen Singer drop casting news via his twitter account and this was no different, but this go-round, he used a picture of the cast members to release [...]
7 Comic Crossovers That Make You Say “WTF?!”
Over the vast time span that we have been enjoying comic books, there have been countless cross-overs that have been amazing stories and dreams come true. Some of those have featured characters within the same company, like Spider-Man and the Punisher, Green Arrow and Green Lantern. Others have featured characters from the big two, like [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Ares
In this installment of The Neglected Nemeses, we look at one of the biggest, baddest mo-fos that Wonder Woman has had to face. But, he has not always gone by this name, as during most of the Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze age of comics, he went by the name of Mars, the name [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Bizarro
When it was announced that DC Comics and Warner Brothers would be bringing new life into the Superman film franchise a few years back, rather than continuing the series Bryan Singer took over in 2006, one of the biggest wishes from fans was to have a more physical threat for the Man of Steel to [...]

Last week, I put together a list of the Worst Comic Book Movie Castings, with Nic Cage taking top honors for his role of Ghost Rider in two films. Sadly, there were a lot of Batman characters on that list! Anyway, I’m back with a list of the Best in Comic Book Movie Casting, and things are a [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: The Sentinels
Let’s rewind about 20 years to when the always popular X-Men cartoon premiered. The first two episodes of that series (save for the pilot where Wolverine had an Australian accent) were devoted to the introduction of the Sentinels, who we first see busting into a shopping mall, trying to capture Jubilee. But their sheer power and diligence [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Doctor Doom
Every once in a while, I need to resurrect a baddie that has already been featured in a film, mostly due to the fact that the first interpretation of the character was so bad, they need to be given a second chance just to show off what their true character. Case in point: Doctor Doom.
Scott Snyder’s War On Horses Continues
If you’ve been keeping up with Scott Snyder’s Twitter page, you know the writer has declared war on horses by abusing his powers as Batman head writer.

6 Worst Comic Book Movie Lines
Slowly but surely, comic book movies are getting to a level where they can be taken seriously, which wasn’t the case when the genre first hit theaters.

Is The Level of Quality Slipping At DC Comics? A Reader’s Perspective.
With every one of DC’s comics hitting issue number 12 this month, that pretty much means we as readers and fans have made it a full year into DC’s new 52, which essentially rebooted and reformatted many of our favorite books and heroes.
