The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA) is host tothis annual event which isthe largest trade show of its kind in the U.S. It is an opportunity for fans to get up close in personal with industry types, influential artists and mingle with other [...]

These films enjoyed little if any success, but the young Nicholson was finally working more steadily. Although he did not garner any Academy Award attention for Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining (1980), it remains one of Nicholson’s most significant roles. The 1989 Batman movie, wherein Nicholson played The Joker, was an international [...]

Ive been staring at the billboard from my window for nearly a month now. Ive been looking forward to this movie since the moment I walked out of Batman Begins. Heath Ledger as the Joker looks to be legendary, and my only complaint about the first movie, Katie Holmes, has been taken care of, with [...]

I dont know what pains me worse, to give this movie a 1 out of 5, or to watch the movie. I had the toys. I read the Batman vs. Predator graphic novels (5/5, but I havent read them in a couple of years). Predator was a solid action flick where you cared about the [...]

Iron Man had been given the thumbs up by critics all over, so I was even more excited about another great superhero movie. There are great movies which you appreciate on an intellectual level you think, “Oh, that’s a great scene”. But the truly great movies for me are those which get my [...]

Anjali joined the Nick and I for the second part of our superhero-twofer and she and I finally saw Batman Begins on DVD that night. In general I never watch videos or DVDs, because I only want to see films on the big screen. We never Nolans Batman use his brain at all. Batman is [...]

I hate that this will be one of his last films. Looks like a masterpieceand I LOVE this version of Batman as opposed to the other crappy corny versions theyve put out so far. This is gonna be one badass film.

I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. Its like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. [...]

I finally got my Band of Outsiders for Gap button-down/tunic in the mail!!!! We’re releasing The Outsiders EP on 23 June as a digital download, including two brand new tracks and a new recording of Best Not To Think About It. Precisely what it is that Batman and the Outsiders are meant to be doing, [...]

Remember the first Batman; pure magic? And then Batman and Robin, with screenplay thatll be worth a million in the distant future for being up there with the greats alongside Vogon poetry? And then the first Spider-Man? Pretty good, but Tobey Maguire? And then there was Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 3 did more to erode expectations [...]

However, even the worst of the fray this time around beats the pants off many of the films from the late 80s and early 90s when Hollywood last tired to superhero wave. Films like this weeks Iron Man give me hope that not just the huge, iconic characters like Superman and Batman are going to [...]

Almost every hero has a confidant, but the relation of the confidant to the hero tends to be different all the time or, in some cases, the amount of confidants is different. In certain cases, like Batman, you may have multiple confidants or colleagues to chat with. Batman has his butler Alfred Pennyworth, his side [...]
