In this, the age of snark and dismissal, there are entire websites designed to do nothing but post an image of a television show, comic or movie and say “LOL FAIL.”  At least some of the blame for this has to be laid at the feet of the (now bleedin’ demised) website “Jumping The Shark”, which catalogued a laundry list of moments that derailed their home media, leaving the shows in question “forever ruined.”  I think what’s hardest to remember is that all of those moments, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, was a subjective judgment, left to the eye of…

During our Major Spoilers Podcast trade paperback review of ‘Teen Titans: The Judas Contract’ some months ago, Rodrigo commented on how odd it was that Nightwing’s big debut was immediately overshadowed by the introduction of Deathstroke’s son (or, in story terms, his OTHER son) as Jericho.  I have never been puzzled by that decision, as I found the character of Jericho to be fresh and unlike anything I’d ever seen in comics, while Nightwing was just a grown-up Robin, a concept that DC had been toying with since the late 50s.  Even 30 years later, there’s never been another character…

With the news of a possible Powerpuff Girls reboot swirling, original Bubbles VO artist Tara Strong has been quietly campaigning on Twitter to return to the role.  For my part, I think that a proper take on the PPG really NEEDS the cuteness that Tara and her fellow actors bring to the show, and my first instinct here is to support Tara’s campaign, but I’m still of two minds on  I frankly (no pun intended) love that Frank Welker has been the voice of Fred Jones since nineteen-sixty-something, but on the other hand I find it highly irritating when ‘Batman:…

They say that television is called a ‘medium’, because it’s neither rare nor well-done, but it is a business of cycles.  Every few years, certain genres and stories recur, among those the superhero story.  After Batman in ’66, the likes of Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice arrived, while the end of the 70s brought another bumper crop, featuring Spider-Man, The Hulk, Wonder Woman and lesser lights such as Automan.  2014 is another big year for fans of the super-dupers, with Green Arrow already in play, The Flash and Constantine on their way, and hopefully another batch of low-rent knockoffs like…
