6 Thoughts on The Penguin (Review)
Hoo boy! We have been feasting good on television this year! I had high hopes for The Penguin after we saw the first trailer, and even I couldn’t imagine this show being so purely awesome. This is a Best Show of the Year contender, to be sure!
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic
I very much enjoyed The Batman when it came out in 2022 and very much looked forward to expanding that universe. We knew about the Penguin show even back then, but surely none of us could have predicted how great it would be. Now that it’s over, we can bask in just what a good job everyone is doing in this universe and with these Batman characters. This is likely a very different beast than the Batman we’re going to get in the DCU, and that’s fine by me. I can handle a world with multiple different Batman at once.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of The Penguin. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

6 Thoughts on Venom: The Last Dance (Review)
Man, I really hated Venom: The Last Dance. Everything about this movie bugged the heck out of me. And I’m not some hater. I actually mostly enjoyed the first two films, and even gave them positive reviews on this same blog. So I went into Venom 3 with relatively OK expectations. Those very same expectations were very quickly dashed.
Movie Rating: 2/10 – Very Bad
Something went wrong with this movie. Was it edited to within an inch of its life? Did nobody care? Did SONY throw in the towel immediately after Morbius and Madame Webb and just not bother with Venom 3, despite the box office success of the earlier films? Why was the editing so sloppy? Why was the script so terrible? Did anyone actually care about making this franchise work? Ugh.
Anyway, join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of Venom: The Last Dance. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole film because I’m just going to ramble on about it however I feel like.

6 Things I Want to See in a Star Wars: Outlaws Sequel
We’re probably not going to get a Star Wars: Outlaws sequel. The game has reportedly underperformed, and Ubisoft is having all sorts of problems. The whole AAA gaming industry is having all sorts of problems, but I’m not here to talk about that. I finally got around to beating Outlaws this past weekend, so I’m here to just ramble about my thoughts on the game, while daydreaming about what a sequel might hold.
Video Game Rating: 7/10 – Good
I liked Star Wars: Outlaws, for the most part. The game delivered pretty much what I expected it to deliver, and it delivered it well enough for my liking. Granted, I’m not hard to impress. It’s not Grand Theft Auto: Star Wars, but then it never promised to be. It’s a solid 7/10 game set in the Star Wars universe, providing a different style of game from the Star Wars Jedi series. I bought the game for full price on launch day because I really needed a new and fun game at the time. But I would definitely recommend waiting for Star Wars: Outlaws to be heavily discounted on Black Friday before you buy and try it out.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts on the game and what I’d like to see in a sequel.

My 6 Favorite Multiple Man Comics
As I’ve mentioned multiple times on this blog, my all-time favorite comic book character is Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man. I discovered him just as I was getting into comics in the early 1990s — which is about when he achieved his first real taste of prominence — and his style, unique powers and sarcastic sense of humor solidified him as my guy.
This week, the first issue of the new Dazzler mini-series is coming out from Marvel Comics, and it will feature Multiple Man in a supporting role. Writer Jason Loo has been on quite the journey at Marvel since bursting onto the scene with his own love of Multiple Man, and I can’t wait to read Dazzler to see what he does with the characters in an actual, published comic (Loo has been doing great work with Madrox in the digital only Infinity comics).
To honor this new comic with Multiple Man in a supporting role, I decided to rank my favorite comics that have featured Multiple Man as a main or supporting character! Just for funsies, really.

Another Batman animated series has arrived and I actually watched this one. I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s, but now that I think about it, I never really watched The Batman, Brave and the Bold and Beware the Batman. Huh. Anyway, I decided to give caped Crusader a try and I was pleasantly satisfied.
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I am not someone who rallies against constant reboots. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get rebooted every five years or so and still tell pretty much the exact same story, and I’m fine with it. Spider-Man has had no reboots in the past, like, five years than ten people. I just don’t mind if this is what studios want to spend their time and money on. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I won’t. I decided to watch Batman: Caped Crusader and enjoyed myself for the most part. Though I fear that releasing all episodes at once is going to disappear this from the public mind quite quickly.
Either way, join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of Batman: Caped Crusader. Expect FULL SPOILERS for all 10 episodes. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
