6 Things I Want to See in Superman: Legacy
The world of comic book movie discussions is on fire with all the updates we get from James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy. It’s maddening. Though it’s self-inflicted. If I just stopped visiting comic book movie news sites, I wouldn’t be so inundated. But those same news sites are what told me that David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan had been cast as Superman and Lois Lane, respectively.
That’s neat. I don’t know anything about Corenswet and don’t know if I’ve seen him in anything, whereas I love Brosnahan in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and was hoping she’d get the part. She should be great! And I trust writer/director James Gunn in casting Corenswet. I’m sure he’ll be great. So what do I want from a new Superman movie? The Christopher Reeves movies were before my time and I have no real thoughts on them. I don’t care for Superman Returns. And I don’t care for Man of Steel. So what do I actually want?
Join me after the jump for six things I want to see in Superman: Legacy. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entrySecond Season of After Party, Baby!
After Party on AppleTV+ was my favorite show last year. It’s a murder mystery in which every episode explores a new suspect using a different genre, like action film, musical, cartoon and much more. And now there’s gonna be a second season and they’re gonna go wild with it!
A Wes Anderson episode?! Hells yes! I love Wes Anderson. Asteroid City was really good. And I’m excited for a second season of After Party. Will hopefully be another banger.
After Party season 2 comes out on July 12, which is really soon.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/1/23
Small week for comics this week, being the end of the month. It’s also been just one heck of a week for me. Ugh. I do not need to be paying this much to fix my car every couple of months…Anyway, we’ve got Green Arrow, for one thing.
Comic Book of the Week goes to She-Hulk #14 because this series has finally hit a groove I enjoy, after the first storyline left me in the dust.
Meanwhile, everything else continues to shamble along. Still immersed in both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4. Enjoying Secret Invasion. Didn’t care for the new Indiana Jones. Just kind of chugging along and trying not to go broke.
Comic Reviews: Green Arrow #3 and She-Hulk #14.
Read the rest of this entryDune 2 Will Be the Duniest
A new trailer for Dune 2 came out and it’s pretty much like the last one. It’s full of all the excitement that the first movie lacked. I thought the first Dune film was fine, it just didn’t have much going for it. The movie was practically all set-up. So perhaps Dune 2 will be all pay-off?
Looks good. Definitely looks more interesting, more emotive, than the first film. Perhaps they will ultimately be good back-to-back viewing? I’ll probably never do that, but perhaps I will someday. The future is hard to parse. But one thing we know for sure is that Dune 2 will come to theaters on Nov. 3.

Hopefully More Futurama is a Good Thing
Look, I like Futurama as much as the next guy. Classic Futurama. Much like The Simpsons, the latter seasons/episodes of Futurama were not as good as the originals. But I still watched, I was still mildly entertained, if I remember correctly. Welp, they’re bringing it back for more episodes for some reason.
None of that looks individually exciting, just that more Futurama will be neat. Notice how they use a lot of Bender dialogue, to make sure we know that John DiMaggio is for sure coming back. Ah well, I’m sure it’ll be a fine watch.
New Futurama is coming to Hulu on July 24.
