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.

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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/24/23
Oh what a week, what a week. Can it really be possible that some of my current favorite comics are all coming out in the same week?! Do we really have new issues of Power Rangers and Superman in the same week?! I must be in comic book heaven.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Nightwing #105 for an artistic achievement that should be praised for all time. Kudos to Bruno Redondo and the entire creative team for this masterpiece!
Meanwhile, I’ve taken a slight break from Tears of the Kingdom to play some Diablo 4! I’ve been playing the Diablo games since the very beginning, though I’ve never engaged in the postgame stuff. I just play the story and try out different classes. It’s fun. I also saw the first episode of Secret Invasion but wasn’t all that impressed. The pacing and tension felt off. Hopefully I’ll like it more as it goes along.
Also, in terms of comics, I’ve decided to stop reviewing Saga because I don’t think I should be giving my thoughts on each individual issue in isolation. I enjoyed the Scarlet Witch annual, but I tend not to review annuals for no particular reason. And the first issue of Ultimate Invasion was solid, though we’ll see if this revival is worth a damn in due time.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #109, Nightwing #105, Superman #5 and Titans #2.
Read the rest of this entry6 Thoughts on The Flash (Review)
After seemingly a bajillion years in development, running through directors like how Flash runs through hamburgers, The Flash movie has finally been released in theaters. It’s not doing well at the box office at all, and is likely to be another flop for DC Comics on the big screen. So be it. I went into this movie prepared to dislike it, but found myself generally entertained.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
I am no fan of the Snyderverse. It means nothing to me, especially at this point. I have generally liked the Flash in his Justice League movie appearances, and I’m all for a Flash solo movie. I think it’s silly they went for Flashpoint again. The Flash has been published continuously for decades, but the only story anybody can adapt is one written a couple of years ago? And wasn’t that great to begin with? Ah well, who am I to complain?
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review on The Flash. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/17/23
Fun week in comics for me this week. We’ve got a pair of new issues, and that’s always a hoot. But we’ve also got the second issue of Green Lantern. So it’s one of those weeks.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #1 for a pretty much perfectly structured and told first issue, which sufficiently teases whatever this new Energon Universe is going to be.
Meanwhile, I’ve taken a pause from Tears of the Kingdom to try out Diablo 4 with some friends of mine, and it’s been a fine choice. I love the Diablo games and this one is just as fun as the others. I also watched and enjoyed The Flash movie, so come back on Wednesday for my review/thoughts.
Comic Reviews: Black Panther #1, Green Lantern #2 and Void Rivals #1.
