Oh man…this is so cool! I love this style of animation. Reminds me a lot of old Bakshi stuff. Thanks to Bleeding Cool for turning me on to this. More information on the creator of this short can be found at www.robbpratt.com.
Did anyone ever see the Captain America movie that went straight to video from 1990? Of course you did…you’re reading this website. Well, one thing that always bugged me about that movie (besides it sucking) was that Cap’s costume was always dirty. I mean, maybe the budget made it so they only had one suit…but […]
I know the guys give me a pretty hard time about picking up Grant Morrison’s run on Batman, but I think the one thing that we’ve all come to agree upon is that at least one good thing has come out of it – Damian Wayne. Sure, the character started as a little prick that […]
I’ve always been curious about Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn’s Firebreather comic from Image Comics. Published as a series of mini-series, the character has popped up in other image books, like The Pact, where he fought alongside Shadowhawk and Invincible. He seems to have a pretty sturdy following, and the concept, about a boy who’s […]
Now here’s the as-expected snarky fanboy criticism…I’m not going to complain about any changes in costuming or character design so much as to say that I think the good aspects of this film look like they’re getting lost in the effects. I think Ryan Reynolds doesn’t look half bad in the role (a little too […]
DC Animated has been putting out some great movies as of late, including Crisis on Two Earths, Under the Red Hood, and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. Since Crisis, there has been the added bonus of short features with each film, under the banner of DC Showcase, including shorts featuring The Spectre, Green Arrow, and Jonah Hex. The […]
Note: portions of this review originally appeared in March, 2009. It’s an absolute travesty that The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series has been canceled in favor of an Ultimate spider-Man reboot. Remember when we, as fans, compared the live action 90’s Batman movies to the Batman animated series, and the movie, Mask of the Phantasm, and […]
I was trying to think of a wicked cool title to give to this article…but I just couldn’t think of one. Someone put together a pretty cool fake trailer for what an Avengers flick from the 1950’s would look like. It actually works a lot better if you don’t know where all the footage comes […]
It’s not easy to make a good superhero movie. It’s really difficult to get the nuances that will please comic book fans, while still pleasing a general audience. While the DC Animated movies do still try to appeal to a general audience, the focus is definitely on pleasing that core comic book fanbase. With films […]
So the big news all over the web is that Ed Norton, who starred as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, will no longer be playing the Hulk. First, Marvel said it wasn’t a monetary decision, but instead because Norton wasn’t someone who “embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.” […]
