DC is looking for a few good writers

DC is doing a search for new writers, but there is a catch:

You have to already have comics experience.

Now I like that they looking for new blood,

I am concerned that that they are not looking for real new talent.

New talent needs to bring new ideas to the table.

I have lots of ideas.

I have written for publications.

I have not written for comics.

I am a fan of comics, and with the right training, I could bring some unique stories to print.

I am also sure there are others who could do that is well.

Food for thought.

Hopefully I am wrong and DC Rebirth helps to bring DC back as a leader of the comics world.

That's all for now.

Go Forth and Do well.

The Killing Joke Preview

Batman V Superman Gets B-

Unlike others who review the film, I am only going to tell you the best and worst of the film


Best

1. Wonder Woman
2. Batman
3. Alfred
4. Basic story

Worst
1. Lex Luthor
2. Batman's Dreams
3. Too much stuff in one movie

The movie works hard to be an A, but when you put too much stuff and make Doomsday little more than a lackey you get a B-.

SPOILER ALERT:  SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING.

Otherwise I loved the movie. It is like someone one mashed together the comic book stories DARK KNIGHT RETURNS (FRANK MILLER STORY) AND DEATH OF SUPERMAN (THE DAN JURGENS STORY). And the filmmakers added preludes to the Justice League (ergo Dawn of Justice in the title).

So, as I said when saw the new title, 20 LBs of stuff in a 10 LB page.  It is entertaining never-the-less.

That is all for now.

To be continued....

Go forth and Do well..

Batman V. Superman coming

A film that has been Decades in the making is a cliched saying, but in the case of Batman V Superman that is true.

I have waited a long time for this to happen.

The problem with the movie is that it is trying to do too much.  Mind you, I have yet to see it.

But the sheer volume of info that I have read about tells me that the film makers are trying to put to many things into one film.

The simple premise of Batman V Superman minus a villain is a cool idea.

Add in not just one, but two or three and then you are asking the viewer to get overloaded by the film.


WARNER AND DC PLEASE LISTEN UP FROM NOW ON- USE THE K.I.S.S.  (Keep It Simple Stupid) Principle when creating entertainment.

That formula works well for almost all of the DC TV Shows that have premiered recently, with the exception of Constantine.

Please don't get me started on that show.

That being said, I am going to keep an open mind when I go to see the newest DC Movie.

That is all for now,

Go Forth and Do Well,

Shane.

Arrow Episode connects CW Seed to Arrowverse

VIXEN joins the ARROWVERSE.

I am please to say that Vixen, whose CW SEED series I loved, now joins Arrow.

It is a cool way to open up DC universe to the rest of tv land.

DC to Change up line in June..Sorta

DC in its effort regain some lost ground is going back to basics by saving the best titles and giving us a double dose of the titles we like.

In addition they are adding Blue Beetle, Titans, Superwoman, Trnity and title called Super Sons to the ongoing titles

It looks like a move in the right direction.

We will see.  Oh and there are Rebirth specials that predate the actual title launch.

Yes again there are #1st once again.  But hopefully that spike the people who only collect number #1s to spike sales for the rest of us.


Check out the attached link for more information.

Batman: Bad Blood Streaming Now

Being a fan of DC animation has been very fruitful as late.  As yesterday it got to be even more enjoyable.

Just in case you didn't know it, Batman has another entry into the massive collection of great animated movies.

And before I begin my basic review; yes I am biased.

BATMAN: BAD BLOOD is by far one the best movies I have seen. Even my wife, who normally doesn't like comic movies, loved every part of the movie.  She even went as far as tell her friends who called her during the movie, that she had to call them back.

This original story keeps your interest from the beginning to the credits.

So in conclusion I recommend you Stream, rent, or by this movie because it is great entertainment and should not be missed.

That is all for now.

Secret Six cast Interesting, but you need a score card to remember them.

I have love the Secret Six since the 1980s.

I loved them even more when Gail Simone made the members Supervillians.

The problem lately is that I need a score card for members like Porcelain because, unlike the earlier version, their names do not appear in the dialogue as much.  And Recently the book has added many of the members of the Pre-New 52 team. Members I do remember.

Don't get me wrong, I do love the book.  It just makes it more difficult to follow it when you are trying to figure out the the name and powers in a story.

Their have been some cool things going on in the book.  They include the following:

1. Mr Big Shot being revealed as Elongated Man.
2. The addition of members of the previous book.
3. Catman's new costume.
4. The wide open approach to the book.

I love this book and I hope it does not cut the run like the previous one did.

If you want to know more about the book, look at the link below.
