Geek Rant: Batman vs. Superman

So, of course, San Diego Comic-Con had some major Bat-News this weekend. It seems that at the end of the DC entertainment panel on Saturday, Zack Snyder announced that his plans for a Man of Steel sequel were to have Superman face off again Batman. Yes, the battle every geek, including myself has argued at one point in their life. The biggest billed fight in popular culture, will be brought forth as a feature-length film for the first time also making for the first time DC characters have shared the screen. Upon this announcement the crowd was beside themselves in excitement…so why am I not excited for this at all?

Superheroes Hangover

A good day for fan films it seems. This one is from GoldenMustacheVideo over on YouTube and plays out with some of our favorite superheroes trying to remember a rather crazy party from the night before. Waking up with a hangover sucks, waking up with a hangover and an entire city destroyed sucks harder. Check it out below. The video is in French, but you don't really need to know the language to understand what's going on.

And a weekly review/opinion look at what I'm watching on Netflix, Comics I may be reading, and the world at large.

So please bear with me while I try to get this together and ready for you all. Thanks!

First Impressions

Another short fan film brought you all to enjoy. First Impressions a film by Leo Kei Angeleos, is very well written and very well executed. Just goes to show how much those who don't get paid a lot can still accomplish with a will and some drive. Fans of film and comics should definitely check this out.

DC and WB should probably pay attention. Dark and Gritty is not what we always want. Like the film? Let Leo and Intelligent Artists know on their twitter accounts: @intelligentarts and @leokeiangeleos


Party on, Internet.
