Those of you out there who happen to be fans of the Child's Play film franchise will likely agree with me in saying that aside from Brad Dourif's legendary performance as the voice of everyone's favorite Good Guy, the first movie may not have worked as well had they not found a child actor to ably pull of the role of Andy Barclay.
While there are certainly many fans out there who firmly believe that you must side with one or the other when it comes to Marvel and DC, I'm of the variety that enjoys material produced by both and adore their respective pantheons of characters.
Today, the emotional roller coaster that Batfans have been forced to embark on continues. As you've probably heard by now, the latest chapter in the strange tale of Ben Affleck's involvement in The Batman, director Matt Reeves' cinematic take on the Dark Knight, saw Casey Affleck make some now infamous comments regarding his brother's status when appearing an a WEEI radio broadcast.
Not long ago, the Batfan community saw its collective jaw hit the floor when DC officially announced Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman: White Knight. Now, the uninitiated may wonder what's so special about yet another miniseries featuring the Caped Crusader, but once you hear that it involves the Joker seemingly going straight and opting to take down the Batman within the parameters of the law, well, you'll likely be singing the same tune as the rest of us. And by the way, the former Clown Prince of Crime will be doing it as a politician.
Without a doubt, right now is a great time to be a fan of The Flash. Not only does his TV series continue to rank among the best superhero shows currently on the small screen, but the Scarlet Speedster is also set to headline the Flashpoint movie that'll grace theaters sometime within the next few years.
If you're anything like me, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a movie that you'd been waiting pretty much your entire life for. Despite the Dark Knight and Big Blue having been around since 1939 and 1938, respectively, the two had never met outside of comic books and animation. Thus, their first live action coming together was certainly one to mark on your calendar.
We Batman fans - especially those of us who enjoy Ben Affleck's performance as the Dark Knight - have had a lot to endure in recent memory, now haven't we? For what seems to have gone on for the entirety of 2017, we've had to play the "will he or won't he?" game when it comes to whether the actor will remain in the DC Extended Universe beyond November's Justice League.
In 2003, Freddy vs. Jason arrived in cinemas, a film that I'd credit for kicking off the versus-style motif of Hollywood crossovers. In the time since, we've received other mashups such as Alien vs. Predator, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and, perhaps the biggest movie to be produced within our lifetime, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.
Knowing that Gotham is already set to mine the seemingly infinite well that is the Batman mythos even further by adding the likes of Professor Pyg to its roster this season, it comes as no surprise that other characters originating in the comics will be appearing as well. And while the focus of today’s conversation may not ring a bell with the average Joe, the more avid lovers of the source material among you will probably know who we’re talking about.
Well, we can finally put a face to one of Arrow season 6's big bads, as the much talked about Richard Dragon has been cast. Technically, the character's real name is Ricardo Diaz, but he went by the pseudonym of "Richard Dragon" in the New 52 comics, also being the son of the man to originally bear that name (more on that in a moment).
