As I just said in the TV/ film thread, YES PLEASE!! He is just so perfect in the role. I really like Hoechlin's Superman, don't get me wrong, but Routh is just a whole other level. He has seriously...

Man, I wish these shows were this much fun on a regular basis. I know that such a thing is pretty much impossible but all of the Arrowverse series really do just show their best side in these...

Huh, guess I'm in the minority. I don't think any of the main villains have been any good whatsoever since Zoom (which is ironic for a superhero with one of the best rogue's galleries around) so it...

Finally got round to watching this in time for Crisis and I think I may be done. The quiet interpersonal stuff and the Crisis build-up were solid but I just can't take any more of these terrible Big...

It may just be the goodwill engendered by Melissa Benoist's incredibly brave and powerful public statement about her own experiences with physical abuse but this episode was the most I've enjoyed the...

To go into this episode a bit more, one of the most fascinating aspects to it was the way in which it showed how comic book superheroes were informed by racism and vice versa. The idea that Hooded...

Yeah, absolutely. Watchmen's usual lunacy wouldn't have been appropriate for this episode. I just missed it, is all.

Brilliant episode with some pretty breathtaking direction and editing. It may well be the best episode of the series but it's not my favourite, just because I did miss the surrealism and deranged...

Haven't had any interest in anything from Snyder in years, unfortunately. I'm a big fan of DC's two most controversial writers, Bendis and King (HiC aside) and have reached a point with Mark Russell...

Man, this season has been annoying. Season 4 was up there with season 1 as by far the best the show has ever been (though actually for very different reasons) but season 5 has wasted so much of that...

Another fantastic episode. And to think, I had my doubts about it after episode 1...

Only 9 episodes, though? That's quite a bit to get done in the next four episodes.

That's really a pity because I love the character in the comics. I just can't face another disappointing CW show.

So, I've only watched the pilot and was pretty unimpressed. Now is as good a time as any to ask whether it has improved enough to actually bother with the show.

I actually think we're mostly on the same page - especially now that I have a clearer sense of where Watchmen is going. My problem is that, however much I absolutely agree that racism is still a...

OK, in terms of your first few points, I agree entirely with you. I wasn't sold after the first episode but I'm now all in.

And this brings me to your last point, I'm in because it looks like it...

I don't agree. He certainly isn't the sales draw that he once was but his work does get people talking and tends to be pretty heavily promoted. As for sales, is anything at DC really setting the...

Well, I care rather more about the work itself than how well it does, financially. Also, are any ongoings from DC doing particularly brilliantly, right now? At least his stuff is causing a buzz.

I genuinely think it speaks well of Bendis that he is this polarizing. I don't love everything he does (though I do quite a bit of it) but I admire both his willingness to take risks and that his...

I'm genuinely glad you're enjoying the current stuff but you've missed out on some seriously fantastic modern Flash comics. I believe both Waid and Johns'Wally West runs are available in nice, thick,...

I have trouble getting into a lot of older superhero comics so this is all pretty much post-Crisis with a tip of the hat to the groundwork laid by past writers.

1. Giffen/ Dematteis
2. Grant...

Yeah, it makes no difference to me either way. I was just wondering if maybe I missed something. Good to see that I (probably) didn't.

Endgame is absolutely deserving of an Oscar nomination, at least for Best Picture. It certainly deserves it more than Joker does.

It all depends on what comes out during äwards seasons" though. It...

One of my biggest problems with the film is that the Joker is a more fascinating character when he a) doesn't have a definitive origin and b) is used as a reflection of Batman. Joker is just a movie...

I finally got around to reading the hardcover of "Season 1" and, man, what a great book and what a great character. It's very DC but it's also very Ultimate Spider-man and I mean that as a huge...

What? Really? Spielberg by several billion miles. I wouldn't even think to compare them.
