Josh Reviews the Legion of Super-Heroes Animated Movie
Legion of Super-Heroes is the latest direct-to-blu-ray DC animated movie. It’s a well-made depiction of the classic DC team of futuristic super-heroic teens. The story opens with the origin of Kara Zor-El, Supergirl. We see how she survived the destruction of Krypton and t

Josh Reviews the Animated Adaptation of Superman: Red Son
The direct to blu-ray/DVD DC animated film Red Son is an adaptation of the three-issue mini-series by Mark Millar, Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett. That “Elseworlds” story asks the tantalizing premise: what if young Kal-El had been raised in communist Russia rather than

So, yeah, I wrote a pretty scathing review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also of the DC follow-up film Suicide Squad. I wouldn’t have imagined that I’d be in any sort of rush to watch Batman v Superman again any time soon (or even ever). But when I read th
Josh Reviews the Animated Adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke
Released in 1988, Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland is widely considered a masterpiece, one of the greatest Batman/Joker stories ever told. And yet, over the last few years I have noticed something of a critical re-approximation of the work, with many finding fa
