One day I will own a wardrobe that only consists of pastel-colored Italian sports coats and that is when I will finally be fulfilled.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 1993
He was vengeance. He was the night. He is Batman.
Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy. You will always be Batman.

Black Adam 2022
As always, I am not compelled by the ever-present analysis of the past thirty years that anti-heroes are the "true" way forward for the superhero medium in the twilight (or perhaps complete darkness since the publication of Watchmen — which everyone seems to forget has an uplifting final message in its very last panel) of Superman's optimism being too naive for our postmodern landscape. And so, while I enjoyed this movie, I feel like I enjoyed it for what it…

The Batman 2022
“As much as Batman is a terrifying symbol to the underworld, he is also a symbol to the good people of this city. A symbol of hope. If you can live with that then Bruce Wayne can live with the responsibility.” - Darwyn Cooke, Batman: Ego
The most damaging thing that has happened to the perception of Batman in recent years, both by adaptations and certain comic storylines alike, is the pushing of a narrative that Batman is a lonely…

The Green Knight 2021
Now through England’s realm he rides and rides,

Twilight 2008
I waited two hours to see which scene Decode by the best band of all time Paramore plays during just to find out it's the THIRD credits song?!?!?
I mean sure, I Caught Myself plays during the dress store scene but that's at a barely audible level over the store's speaker and also only lasts for like four seconds so honestly I think I'm allowed to be upset about this.

Red Post on Escher Street 2020
"It was a sad story with a very sad ending. But I felt so very happy."
"Can you be quiet? I'm serious. You pretend that you're not wearing a mask . . . Those boring words aren't your truth. I want you to live life seriously."
I still haven't seen The Forest of Love because honestly, I'm rather terrified to, not out of a sense that I would hate it or anything, but that what I've heard Sono does in…

The Wolf of Snow Hollow 2020
Jim Cummings just knows how to make me cry and I respect the hell out of that.
I am very interested in knowing if Cummings has seen the best movie of all time Ginger Snaps because I think in a lot of ways what makes me love that movie (also a werewolf film since I am not making the comparison all that clear I realize) more than just about any piece of art in existence is in this, even if…
