Comics, TV, Music, and Movies!

Supergirl_Trailer-600x313I recently saw the trailer for the upcoming “Supergirl” TV series that will premiere on CBS later this year. Even though there are things that the critics don’t like or aren’t sure about regarding this vision of Supergirl, I liked it.

The main reason I liked it is because it doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet there is some drama in the series, if we can judge by the six-minute trailer that debuted to the world earlier this month.

It’s been a few years since the first volume of Batman: Earth One came out, so I was pretty excited when I saw this sucker. Finally!

description

For those of you who don’t know, Earth One titles are re-imaginings of DC characters that do not take place in regular continuity. In other words, this is notour Batman. It’s just a neat way for writers to take iconic characters and their origin stories, and put a different spin on things.
Sometimes the stories are very cool…sometimes they suck.
My opinion? This one was awesome!
It’s not perfect, but I had a lot of fun reading it.

The main villain for volume two is the Riddler.
He’s riddling away while blowing up various locations. Not the best re-imagining I’ve ever seen, but Johns does a decent…
