Mr. Freeze: Where Do I Start?
October 5, 2012 7:53 am I completely agree with the inclusion of Batman: TAS episode in this list. It is certainly the Mr. Freeze that I remember anytime the name is mentioned.
Also really enjoyed the Annual with Mr. Freeze in it.

Professor X: Where Do I Start?
September 16, 2012 5:30 pm A great read. I also thought the film gave a true portrayal of Xavier.
I always liked his relationship with Magneto.

DC Histories: The Batcave
September 16, 2012 5:21 pm Enjoyed reading that. DC histories really do help to explain a lot of things.

Great Moments in Comics History: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1
September 16, 2012 4:54 pm Brilliant. Nightwing or just Dick Grayson in general, is my favourite Bat family character, even if he needed a total style re-vamp in the early days.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’
July 20, 2012 11:08 am Just, wow. Blown away. Started off a little slow with Wayne being a hermit like character. But from there, it was all great. I enjoyed seeing his first night back out on the cycle, because it was the first time we had saw Batman from TDK, it felt like he had been away for that amount of time.
I'll be seeing it again very soon, enjoyed it. I can't even begin to compare it with the other 2 films, they are all very different, they are trying to achieve different goals and I think each one does exactly what is expected.

Spidey Deserves Better
July 16, 2012 1:18 pm I can honestly say I never got the "buzz" around the first three films, I didn't connect to Peter Parker, I didn't get excited about it and I generally didn't root for Spiderman to win.
The Amazing Spiderman, just, woah! Completely different. I walked out of that cinema thinking "I finally think Spiderman is cool now." Yes there was some slight things that bugged me in the film, but that happens in most films. This film really got me rooting for Spiderman/Peter Parker.
I really enjoyed it and I'm also surprised that the general media hasn't been praising it as much as I believe it should be.

Bane: Where Do I Start?
May 4, 2012 7:47 am I've always liked Bane. The Joker always had the mental side, Batman never knew what he was going to do next but it always stumped me that The Joker could hold his own again Batman in a fist fight. Bane however, can kick Batman's ass in a fist fight and it makes Batman have to think outside of the box. Bring on the Bane!

If This New Trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Doesn’t Leave You Tingling, Nothing Will
May 4, 2012 7:43 am Still not hyped for this film, I'll probably go see it though. It just doesn't grip me and make me interested in it. A lot of the action scenes have been done in the other Spiderman films, there is only so many times you can see Spidey twist and twirl and web-sling between buildings before you've seen it all. I think Garfield fits the Peter Parker role really well. And I'm glad to see the Lizard. Seems like they are setting the story up for a long run.
