Batman Month: The Dark Knight Trilogy Analysis
They’ve probably been the biggest source of Batman’s newfound popularity with the non-geeky crowd, and there’s a lot going on those films. So in this final article of Batman Month, let’s talk about those themes, the ideas at work behind them, and the comics that inspired the stories. Keep in mind, this is not a review, and there will be spoilers everywhere. You are warned.
Batman Month: The Legacy of Joe Chill
People tend to forget the name. Often, it works to simply say he was just a random guy with a gun, looking to score some cash when he shot a young boy’s parents. It’s easy to associate him with the symbol of crime and how the only real deterrent against it is vigilance. But he had a name: Joe Chill. And he was the man who indirectly created Batman.
Review: NiGHTS into dreams (PSN)
Back in the 90’s, as Sega’s Saturn was competing with Sony’s Playstation and Nintendo’s N64, it was rather shocking that there was no major Sonic game exclusive to the system. I mean, the closest we got were Sonic Jam (a combination of re-released Sonic 1 through Knuckles and digital museum celebrating Sonic) and Sonic R (a racer). However, Sonic Team came out with one of t...[Read More]
Batman: The Modern Animation Retrospective
Yup, it’s time again for another animation retrospective, and since it’s Batman Month, let’s do Batman’s modern animation history.
Batman Month: A History of The Robins
For years, we’ve always associated one other character with Batman, regardless of medium or storyline. We always argued as kids, who would be Batman and who would be Robin? But Robin has become more than just a character, or even a joke. Robin is now a legacy, just as major as Batman himself. Let’s talk about them, shall we?
Batman Through the Ages!
And by ages, I mean the major comic book ages!
The Martial Arts of Batman
In one Batman novel, he said that violence is the language of thugs and bullies, and that one should be fluent for when reason doesn’t work.
Batman Month Returns!
What, you thought it was a one time thing?
Review: The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises, easily one of the most anticipated films of the summer, is now out. So, does it just rise, or does the Dark Knight soar? Before I go any farther, I want to send my condolences out to the victims of the shooting in Colorado. What happened was a cowardly act by a clearly deranged person to people who simply wanted to have a good time at the movies.
Review: The Amazing Spider-Man (360/PS3)
Activision and Beenox have had an interesting time with Marvel’s most popular hero. Shattered Dimensions was an awesome love letter to the fans, and Edge of Time managed to have a great story (despite a lot of people disliking it). With the history of Spider-Man titles being what it is, does The Amazing Spider-Man manage to soar, or does it plummet? This time, Beenox has done the movie tie-i...[Read More]
Review: The Amazing Spider-Man
When Sony announced that they’d reboot Marvel’s biggest film franchise (at least, Marvel’s biggest film franchise before The Avengers came out), fans were divided. Some thought it was a cheap cash-in, and have hoped for its failure so that the rights would revert to Marvel in order for it to be tied to the Avengers. Others have hoped for a film closer to their idea of Spidey as o...[Read More]
