The bulk of the negative critics seem to be going on about how Black Adam is too much of an action movie? I really don't get what people expect here. I'm all for the occasional big dumb action flick, as long as it isn't trying to be anything more and the effects actually look good.

A movie with The Rock and it's all action.

WTF. I was hoping for more scenes of him walking down the beach with his bestie.

Well, it depends, right? Mad Max: Fury Road is basically non stop action and it's amazing. Dredd (2012), same deal. It can be done well, or... not.

With the news yesterday that Henry Cavill is returning for more Superman projects in the future the DCEU looks to be continuing for a while longer. Black Adam was the 12th movie and we have 4 more DCEU films either completed or very close to being done. Have to imagine James Gunn returns to direct another movie now as well.

So either James Gunn was dyeing his hair before, or the last few years have been really stressful...

Speaking of James Gunn, he's still got some work in the pipeline for that other studio too...

56 year olds don't have pure non-grey hair naturally?

Big news for DC. Gunn has done great things. Sounds like he will be involved in over seeing the creative side but will also be running his own projects directly. This is also an exclusive deal for four years. So no more GOTG for him.

You're probably not going to like my opinion on the concept of 'Co-CEOs' of brand new creative entities.

One of these two is likely going to be limited to signing their name onto things and cashing their paycheque.

My money is on Gunn. Because he seems like the smart one.

Geoff Johns was effectively CEO at one point, yes? I'd forgotten about that until scrolling past his name on Twitter. I also didn't realize he was out a few years ago

I'd love to but I cant. I'm sorry. I cant. I just....I cant.

I wish I could.

Tennis and bad superheroes, I get that you've been given a raw deal...

Absolutely devastating news Kevin Conroy THE voice of Batman has passed away. Whenever I read Batman comics it's his voice that I hear, his work on Batman the animated series defined the character for me and an entire generation.

With Christmas coming around the corner, I'd thought I'd ask what is your favorite superhero movie set around Christmas?

Batman Returns
Shazam
Wonder Woman 84
Iron Man 3
Spider-Man No Way Home

For me it has to be Batman Returns, a perfect gothic Christmas fairy tale

Batman Returns for sure.

Hawkeye was a lot of fun and would make a good re-watch over Christmas.

If you can find it, Batman The Animated Series had a great episode called "Christmas with the Joker".
