DC Comics: A Cinematic Retrospective

by
Superman

From SF Signal: As pointed out by The Awesomer, calling the following video a retrospective of DC Comics’ superhero films is a bit of a misnomer when two of the films — Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad — have yet to be released, but the video does succeed in encapsulating what a poor job Hollywood did with DC Comics properties. I mean, I liked Watchmen and The Dark Knight is probably in my list of Top 10 Films, but the rest? I wouldn’t mind if I never, ever saw any Green Lantern footage again. And, being a Moviegoer of … Read more

The ‘gay’ interpretation goes all the way back to 1954, when a psychiatrist claimed that the comic books were ‘homosexual fantasies’… Hit the link for the gayest, and slightly awkward, moments in Batman history (Some may be NSFW). http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/20-times-batman-robin-definitely-secret-gay-relationship/

For Writers: Juvenilia

Do you ever look back at your early stuff? And what was the worst thing you wrote at that age, or the best? Join the chat
