Upcoming DC Animated Films for 2013

When it comes to the direct-to-video original animated films set in the DC Universe, we knew that there was a sequel coming to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released news of additional titles planned for 2013. First, here’s the trailer for Dark Knight Returns Part 2, highlighting the Batman/Superman showdown: It’s due in early 2013 (where “early” means January/February). Mid-year comes Superman: Unbound, based on Superman: Brainiac by Geoff Johns, originally published […]

Marvel’s Upcoming Movie Schedule

Disney has finalized plans and dates for some upcoming Marvel movies. Iron Man 3, opening May 3, 2013, will now be available in 3-D. So will Thor 2, which is now called Thor: The Dark World, opening November 8, 2013. I don’t watch 3-D films any more, because they give me a headache and I don’t care for the increased prices, but this should mean more seats in the 2-D showings for me to choose from. Captain America 2, starting […]

Dark Knight Rises on DVD December 4

The Dark Knight Rises, the third in the most recent cinematic Batman trilogy (the one directed by Christopher Nolan), comes to Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download on December 4. Here’s a trailer: I look forward to seeing Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman, and I find the extras promoting the Batmobile (as opposed to any of the human characters) amusing. On home video, you can also turn on the subtitles to check what Bane’s really saying. The sync-able tablet app should be fun, […]

The Monsters Meet on Court Street and Other Tales of Supernatural Law

It’s been eight years since Mr. Negativity came out, the volume previous to this collection in chronology, and four years since I’ve read an issue of Supernatural Law, so I was worried that I’d have forgotten too much to catch up. Wrong. Batton Lash’s characters came right back to me, helped by the classic formula of their stories and a new 12-page prologue that reintroduces the concept and the cast. The situations aren’t particularly deep or subtle, but the appeal […]

Pitch Perfect

If you’re looking for an entertaining comedy this weekend with some good music and solid laughs, I strongly recommend Pitch Perfect. It’s not an unpredictable movie — if you’ve seen the trailer, shown below, then you’ve likely guessed that it’s Glee meets Mean Girls meets Bring It On with that funny girl from Bridesmaids (Rebel Wilson, playing “Fat Amy”). However, it’s well-done, and I took great enjoyment in solid laughs from talented women. Anna Kendrick (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) […]

Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries Volume 1

These days, it’s hard to find manga that I don’t know much about, what with all the reviews and Twitter chat, but I had good luck blind-buying Young Miss Holmes, which I enjoyed. So when I saw that Seven Seas had another young woman solving mysteries in an historical period, I dove in. Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries is a bit different, though — since it’s translated manhwa from Korea, it reads left-to-right. The story is by Hey-jin Jeon with art […]
