Superman or the Flash? Who is Faster?
Who is faster: Superman or the Flash?
It’s a question as old as comic books themselves, and the subject of intense fan speculation. Heck, it even comes up in the comics all the time, with the two characters having race after race after race. These characters are not blind to their own selfish boasts.
Place your bets
The competition has been disputed in several different TV versions of the heroes, and was also featured randomly in an episode of Lost. Clearly there is some debate on the issue. So in the interest of writing a geeky blog, I thought I would weigh in. And I’m really curious to hear your answers.

6 Super-Villains That I Want to See On the Big Screen
The best superhero movies are also the ones with the best villains. Would Spider-Man 2 have been so great had Doctor Octopus not been such a sympathetic and tragic character? All four X-Men movies have given Magneto a starring role, and for good reason. And the late Heath Ledger redefined the Joker with his incredible, Oscar-winning performance. The superheroes may be the stars of the flick, but a great super-villain can easily steal the show!
The only super-villain recognized by the Academy
There have been some fantastic super-villains on the big screen. From General Zod’s immortal demand that Superman “KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!” in Superman 2, to the gregarious Loki pulling double-duty as the villain in both Thor and The Avengers. But being the notorious comic book geek that I am, I know of many classic and fantastic super-villains who have yet to see any motion picture love. So here is my list of 6 super-villains who have never appeared in feature films before, but definitely should!
Superman vs. The Elite Trailer Arrives!
I don’t know if that video will successfully embed or not. I still haven’t figured out how to get something other than a Youtube video to embed. Either way, it will provide a link for you to visit. I know, what a hassle, right?
Or maybe this will work:
Anyway, I said a lot about this movie in a previous post that you can read here.
I think this is a stupid idea for an animated movie, and the trailer doesn’t help. While it shows plenty of action, and some drama for the Man of Steel, the trailer barely mentions the fact that the Elite are supposed to be a new kind of brutal superhero. That trailer makes them out to be super-villains, which misses the nuance of the story. Oh well.
‘Baby Superman’ is Adorable
So the little cartoon shorts that are going to be a part of the new DC Nation animation block seem to gear more towards the insane than the realistic. Hence this new clip I found online of a cartoon called ‘Baby Superman’. The name alone is awesome. It’s way better than ‘Superbaby’. Check out the clip, and you can check out earlier clips here and here.
Celebrities I Can Actually Stand
Apparently the guy who voices Superman for all those WB animated cartoons and movies, Tim Daly, has some kind of web series with his son. And Nathan Fillion, the guy who voices Green Lantern, stopped by the other day to make one hilariously funny web-isode. I wish my life was about having this much fun. Watch and enjoy.
