Is that The Flash? Why yes it is!

Here it is, our first look at Grant Gustin's head inside the Flash costume.  After his take on Barry Allen on Arrow, I am super stoked to see him in all his Flash glory when this series arrives.  

Hopefully, we'll get to see the full suit soon enough but for now this little glimpse will have to do.

I never thought i'd be excited for a CW show but there it is.

WB Considers Numerous TERRIBLE Subtitles for Man of Steel 2

Warner Bros. registered numerous domain names that might be hinting at a potential subtitle for the upcoming Man of Steel sequel.

The problem is that they are all terrible.  See for yourself.

"Man of Steel: Battle the Knight"
"Man of Steel: Beyond Darkness"
"Man of Steel: Black of Knight"
"Man of Steel: Darkness Falls"
"Man of Steel: Knight Falls"
"Man of Steel: Shadow the Night"
"Man of Steel: The Blackest Hour"
"Man of Steel: The Darkness Within"

These are all cringeworthy. Shadow the Night? What does that even mean? This project is looking more and more like it will be a complete disaster and might possibly ruin the chances of a strong DC Universe on the big screen.  As it is it's getting further and further away from being a Superman movie.

Of course, if anyone out there wants to anonymously slip me the script for this to prove me wrong, you can do so at garon@popculturebeast.com.

Luckily, we have Arrow to keep our hopes alive.

Before Watchmen Hardcovers Review: Part 2

DC's controversial prequel, Before Watchmen, was originally met with skepticism because its source material is the best selling graphic novel of all time, Watchmen. Despite the initial outrage, Before Watchmen was pretty great and really paid homage to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' epic tale.

DC is releasing four hardcovers consolidating the titles. The first two, Before Watchmen: Minutemen and Silk Spectre  and  Before Watchmen: Ozymandias and Crimson Corsair were released on June 26th. (Check out my review of them here.)

The last two hardcovers, Before Watchmen: Comedian and Rorschach and Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan are being released on July 10th.

When Before Watchmen: Comedian was first announced, I thought 6 issues was too many to focus on the infamous icon. In some ways it's too many, but in some ways it's not enough to tell the complicated tale of the Comedian. Brian Azzarello (Joker, 100 Bullets) does a good job putting the reader into Eddie Blake's shoes and really makes us feel for this ruthless character. 

However, I do think the Comedian story is weak compared to the other Before Watchmen titles. The Comedian is such a rich character in the Watchmen universe that I expected more out of his story. Also, the artwork by J.G. Jones (Final Crisis) doesn't really capture the Comedian's grittiness. For me, the artwork is too simple for the title's story.

Before Watchmen: Rorschach is also by Azzarello. This title is extremely dark. It perfectly captures Rorschach and the circles he runs around in. The city's gritty underbelly is perfectly captured in Lee Bermejo's (Joker) artwork. Also, one of the four issues has one of the best cover's I've ever seen!

Like the other Deluxe Edition hardcovers, this includes the alternate covers and sketches at the end.

Before Watchmen: Nite Owl is written by J. Michael Straczynski (Superman: Earth One) focuses on Nite Owl II and his partnership with Rorschach as they track down a deadly killer. Andy Kubert's (Flashpoint) artwork is a little bit on the generic side, but his cityscapes and action scenes really shine. 

I really like the story because it is dark, but it has that buddy cop dynamic between Nite Owl II and Rorschach. It's the perfect tone of dark and funny that makes for an entertaining and great story!

Of all the Before Watchmen titles, Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan is the one that most captures the themes of the character from the original. Straczynski's writing incorporates mixed timelines, scientific facts, and even quotes like the original Watchmen. It's unbelievable how similar it is.

In addition to the writing, artist Adam Hughes (Justice League of America) shines a unique, yet familiar (blue) light onto the eerie god-like character. Using reoccurring themes such as watches, symmetry, and circles, Hughes does an outstanding job recreating Dr. Manhattan. Also, the last few pages are actually drawn upside down to create an awesome effect that really works with the story.

Lastly, this Deluxe Edition hardcover also includes Moloch. This two issue mini written by Straczynski and illustrated by Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets) delves into the sad origin of the Minutemen's foe Moloch the Mystic.

It's a shame that DC cancelled the Before Watchmen: Epilogue story because I would have liked to have seen that one shot. I had kind of hoped they would include it in one of these collections, but they did not. Perhaps will see it when DC makes a Before Watchmen Absolute Edition.

These titles are great expansions of the already rich universe that Alan Moore created. I'm very pleased at how they all turned out. The writers and artists did a phenomenal job at capturing the tone and look of each character in the Watchmen universe. These Deluxe Edition Hardcovers look great together next Watchmen on my shelf.

Before Watchmen: Comedian and Rorschach & Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan are both a 10 out of 10 Doomsday Clocks!

Be sure to pick up Before Watchmen: Comedian and Rorschach & Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan on July 10th.

Before Watchmen Hardcovers Review: Part 1

Before Watchmen was DC's prequel to the best-selling graphic novel of all time, Watchmen. The fans (myself included) were very skeptical about the title. However, most of the comics were pretty great and really stuck to the source material.

DC is releasing four hardcovers consolidating the titles. The first two, Before Watchmen: Minutemen and Silk Spectre  and  Before Watchmen: Ozymandias and Crimson Corsair are being released on June 26th.

Before Watchmen: Minutemen was the title I was looking forward to the most in the Before Watchmen Series. The six issues are written and illustrated by Darwyn Cooke (DC: The New Frontier), Minutemen perfectly captures the mood and time period during the formation of the original team. Also, he's managed to use several familiar motifs Dave Gibbons used (such as clocks) to visually tie into the Watchmen story.

It follows Hollis Mason, the first Nite Owl, as he is writing his tell-all Under the Hood. It tells his origin and chronicles his alliance and troubles with the Minutemen. Cooke has created a brilliantly dark and entertaining story line exposing the corruption within the Minutemen through the eyes of a hero cop turned hero.

Also written by Darwyn Cooke, is the four issue Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre. The artwork by Amanda Conner (Powergirl) has that Archie Comics / Mary Jane Watson feel to it. Silk Spectre focuses on the early years of Silk Spectre II, Laurie. It delves into the strained relationship between her and her mother, Sally. She runs away from home, but doesn't shirk her superhero duties because she kicks ass all the way.

This hardcover has a really great artwork section featuring Darwyn Cooke's drawings of each Minutemen member, as well as every cover for both titles.

Before Watchmen: Ozymandias is written by Len Wein (Swamp Thing), who was the editor for the original Watchmen story. Wein's writing is great, but it is truly brought alive by Jae Lee's (The Dark Tower) stunning visuals. Featuring the World's Smartest Man, this six issue arc tells of the character's upbringing and unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

Similar to how Minutemen's artwork pays homage to Gibbons' originals, Jae Lee uses a lot of circular and symmetrical panel layout in Ozymandias. DC seemed to do a great job of picking writer/artist teams that could really capture and do justice to such an iconic title.

Before Watchman: The Crimson Corsair was featured as the back-up chapters for most of the Before Watchmen titles. Based upon The Black Freighter story in Watchmen, this Len Wein and John Higgins (the colorist for Watchmen) joint effort is like a dark Pirates of the Caribbean / The Walking Dead.

Additionally, this hardcover also features the one-shot, Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill written by Len Wein and drawn by Steve Rude (Nexus). This tells the story of Dollar  Bill, originally hired as a bank mascot he gets more than he bargained for after stopping some thieves.

All of these titles really expand the Watchmen Universe without ruining the original. The Deluxe Edition Hardcovers are very nice and look great on the shelf! Tonally, they are both darker than your average superhero comic, which speaks volumes about the world Alan Moore created.

Before Watchmen: Minutemen and Silk Spectre & Before Watchmen: Ozymandias and Crimson Corsair are both a 10 out of 10 Smiley Faces!

Be sure to pick up Before Watchmen: Minutemen and Silk Spectre & Before Watchmen: Ozymandias and Crimson Corsair  on June 26th.

Also, look for Before Watchmen: Comedian and Rorschach & Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan on July 10th.

Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 1: REDemption Review

Last year, DC introduced a new team of existing characters during their New 52 reboot. Red Hood and the Outlaws features the one-time Robin, Jason Todd, Starfire, and Arsenal (Red Arrow). This dysfunctional team is both a fun and unique title, something which the New 52 was in desperate need of.

Follow these three Outlaws, in their quest to find themselves and kick ass doing it! REDemption collects issues #1-7 written by Scott Lobdell (Teen Titans).

I don't know really what to say about this title other than it's AWESOME! Definitely a great take on the characters despite its initial controversy over the "too sexy" Starfire. I have read the current issues and they have delved deeper into Starfire's past, solidifying her as a character in the New 52 Universe. This title kicks major ass and is violent, hilarious, and heartfelt.

Ummm... I'm not sure I see the problem...

Do yourself a favor and pick up Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 1: REDemption! Also, look for the monthly series at your local comic shop!

Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 1: REDemption is 10 out of 10 Red Hoods!

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Graphic Novel Vol. 1 Review

In the past few years, Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy has really taken off and has taken many adaptations. From a Swedish film series and last year's American version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, there seems to be no stopping this amazing series from hitting every medium.

DC's adult targeted imprint Vertigo Comics has released the first volume of the first novel. Adapted by novelist Denise Mina, the story stays very true to the book. It's a little condensed, but still great!

Leonardo Manco's artwork is fairly standard, comic speaking. It's nothing I haven't seen a dozen times. Honestly, looking at the cover, I expected a more stylized and gritty approach to the work in order to make it stand out as an interpretation rather than a rewrite. Manco does a fascinating job with capturing the intensity of the violence in it, however the other panels tend to be uninteresting and even boring at parts. Perhaps, this had a lot to do with it being the first fourth of the novel, which is a lot of setup. I'll have to wait for the other parts to see.

It's a neat idea, but if you've already read the books and/ or seen the movie(s), the graphic novel doesn't really add much else. I think Vertigo missed the boat on cashing in on the property by about a year. Without a uniquely stylized retelling, it just falls flat.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Graphic Novel Vol. 1 is a 6 out of 10 Dragon Tattoos!

Superman Earth One Vol. 2 Review

The follow-up to 2010's breakout hit, Superman Earth One Vol. 2 takes us back to the alternate universe to continue J. Michael Straczynski's retelling of the iconic character.

Exploring more of Superman's struggles with power and loneliness, Earth One is a more realistic and human take on the Kryptonian's story. In this tale, Superman is not quite the "boy scout" we are used to seeing him as. His attitude is more akin to Batman's "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" mantra. Superman still fights for the greater good and does what is necessary to aid those in need, even if it means letting the citizens of a war torn nation kill it's dictator.

The main arc of this story involves the familiar foe, Parasite, on his rampage toward Metropolis draining the life from everything in his path to quell his hunger for power. It is up to Superman to stop this menace before he destroys Metropolis or worse, Superman himself.

Shane Davis has returned as the artist and he has really succeeded in defining the "Earth One" look. There is sort of an anime quality to the style, much like the critically acclaimed Akira. Parasite in particular has that look almost like a Dragonball Z villain, but it totally works. The characters all look familiar, but have a more modern look and feel to them (including the Hans Gruber looking Lex Luthor). Straczynski's writing helps to illustrate this modern feel. All of the dialogue feels natural and modern, which immerses the reader into the world.

If this were a trade paperback collecting a monthly series, I would say that it is perfect, but it is not. Fans have waited two years for this sequel and I guess I just expected more. The story is good, but it tries to accomplish too much and tends to gloss over points that I would have liked to seen explored further.

In the future, I hope DC decides to launch an Earth One comic series (similar to Marvel's Ultimate Universe). They have a lot of talented writers and artists who could create a unique retelling of the DC Universe set on Earth One.

Superman Earth One Vol. 2 hits shelves on November 6th! Be sure to check out this action packed continuation of the Earth One mythos.

The New 52 Teen Titans Vol 1: It's Our Right to Fight Review

The Teen Titans are an iconic team, featuring Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, Kid Flash, Superboy, and Wonder Girl. You'll be happy to know that this team has only about half of that.

The New 52 has this problem of fixing things that aren't broken (and not fixing the broken parts). Like taking Tim Drake and no longer having him been Robin he's just straight Red Robin. The problem is that in this he mentions being Robin... what? Yes, it's totally confusing, not to mention, unnecessary.

Reading this version of Teen Titans was similar to what it would be like waking up inside the dreams in Inception. Everything seems somewhat familiar, yet it's muddled and cloudy.

The characters include the previously mentioned Red Robin, Superboy (wearing a Tron style costume and bro-tastic barcode Superman "S" tattoo), Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl. Beast Boy and Starfire have been replaced with generic and boring "heroes" whose names are not worth learning: a cloud lady and a giant spider lady that acts like the Hulk.

By far one of the worst new characters is Bunker. First off, his name makes absolutely zero sense, he doesn't turn into rock or conjured protective force fields. He can create lavender constructs such as giant fists or part of a brick wall. Secondly, his costume is just plain awful, it's maroon and purple. Lastly, DC tried to make Bunker (aka Miguel Barragan) the "Miles Morales Spider-Man" of the Titans. What I mean is they tried to cram several minority qualities into him by making him both gay and Hispanic. Now before you jump to conclusions, I am all for diversity in comics, but diversity means making people on a team diverse not shoveling ever single diverse quality into one character. I'm fine with him being both gay and Hispanic, because honestly it doesn't matter. As long as he kicks ass, I don't care.

My main problem is that DC tries to ram it down your throat by making it so obvious and not being tasteful. For instance, every other word he says is some cookie cutter Spanish word that makes Speedy Gonazles look politically correct. Also, when they travel to a different place he always has a ton of clothes with him and is constantly changing outfits. It's basically a caricature and it comes off very tasteless. Come on, DC if you're going to diversify characters, do it correctly and don't make it an over the top farce of how you think people would act.

Despite all of this the story is somewhat decent. It's the same story we've seen before, people are after a hero, the Teen Titans are protecting her, Superboy is bad, etc. But it plays out really well.

There's an awesome part where Kid Flash's costume gets destroyed so he runs and gets an old Robin costume (yeah I know) and draws a lightning bolt over the "R."

I would hope that in the future of this title we see Beast Boy and some other more familiar and useful faces. Also, I hope they have gotten the "hey we're being diverse" attitude out of the way and can really start giving meaningful and tactful story lines to Bunker and the other two characters.

Teen Titans Vol 1: It's Our Right to Fight gets a 6 out of 10 Red Robins.

The New 52 Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In The Dark Review

Justice League Dark is a really cool concept for a New 52 title, but it definitely falls short of the idea.

I really do not care for the logo because it seems like the "Dark" is just slapped on there and out of place. I think the whole title should be something else entirely, because it's not a Dark version of the Justice League, it's the magical equivalent. The title makes it seem like a Starbucks order.

Also, many of the characters seem interchangeable and generic besides Zatanna, Deadman, and John Constantine. These three are hands down the best characters in the series, but they aren't used to their full potential.

Most of the story is buried beneath some convoluted plot riddled with nonsensical and confusing magic mumbo-jumbo. The rules of the world constantly change and overall it just doesn't mesh very well.

The artwork is really cool and all of the characters designs represent them well. I really hope that this title evolves and becomes better because I really like the idea behind it.

Justice League Dark Vol 1: In The Dark is a plain 5 out of 10 Magicians.

The New 52 Green Lantern Corps Vol 1: Fearsome Review

In the New 52, the Green Lantern Corps title follows Lanterns John Stewart and Guy Gardner (and others) as they fight to protect the universe from evil.

It was cool to see both of these Lanterns fighting side by side and making all kinds of awesome constructs. In fact, most of the panels are green and full of constructs!

However, the story is extremely uninteresting and almost boring. There are some cool parts, but it's a little farfetched (I know it's a comic about "space police with magic rings" but still). For instance, these mysterious random aliens are killing off planets and Lanterns sector by sector, but on a planet made of water, they manage to remove all of the water. It's really random and not very cohesive as a story.

The artwork is very good, but a lot of the times it's hard to tell exactly what's going on and which construct is which because everything is green.

It's a shame that these awesome characters are reduced to mediocrity because of the bland and unrealistic (I know, but you get what I mean) storytelling.

I'm sad to say that Green Lantern Corps Vol 1: Fearsome only gets an average 5 out of 10 Lanterns.

Batman Live: World Arena Tour Review

Batman Live: World Arena Tour is a stage show featuring the Dark Knight in the iconic retelling of Robin's origin. Bruce is present when the the Graysons are murdered and takes young Dick Grayson under his wing. Dick runs away from Wayne Manor in search of his parents' killer, while Batman does the same. Eventually, Dick takes the mantle of Robin and stands at Batman's side to save Gotham from the myriad of villains the Joker has released in Arkham Asylum. Will Batman and Robin be able to stop the Joker from taking over Arkham and save Gotham City in time?

Originating last year in the United Kingdom, Batman Live has brought Gotham City and all of it's heroes and villains stateside!

This show is massive! There are a ton of different locations and great set pieces. Joker's Hot Air Balloon, Gotham's rooftops, and of course a sleek new version of the Batmobile all make an appearance. The sets are all so different and the changes were seemless during the different scenes. The costumes and actors are fantastic! You really feel immersed in Gotham City.

A giant 415,750 pixel screen (in the shape of a Bat of course) serves as the background of the stage. This background transforms to various locales such as the Gotham Cityscape, Wayne Manor, Haly's Circus, Arkham Asylum, and (obviously) the Batcave. This screen also serves as transitions between scenes by zooming out to a comic book and zooming into separate panels to change settings. Also, flashbacks, a Batmobile chase, and the Batcomputer screen, are all done on this screen in comic and CGI form. DC regular Jim Lee ("Batman: Hush") did all of the comic artwork for the show. Doors within the screen are where the actors and props come out of, creating a very unique effect.

All of the fight scenes are choreographed wonderfully and flow really well. The action is exactly what you would expect from Batman. Most sequences are acrobatic in nature, but it works with the themes and settings within the story.

The story drags a bit in places and for being about Robin, he isn't in it much as the Boy Wonder. I was initially worried that it would be geared more towards children, but it is actually fun for all ages. There is the perfect combination of comedy, excitement, action, and adventure that makes it fun for the whole family.

The Fury of Firestorm - The Nuclear Men Vol 1: God Particle Review

The Fury of Firestorm - The Nuclear Men Vol 1: God Particle is more than just a mouthful to say, it's a modern take on an underrated superhero.

Firestorm was originally a superhero that was created in a nuclear lab accident. High School student Ronnie Raymond and physicist Martin Stein were combined during the accident to form Firestorm. Ronnie was in control of Firestorm, but Stein was the voice inside of Ronnie's head, helping him along the way. I never really read much Firestorm, but I always thought this was sort of a weird concept to wrap my head around.

In 2004, DC introduced another Firestorm, Jason Rusch, who was combined with Ronnie's spirit (a la Stein in the previous incarnation).

The New 52 version solves these problems by creating two Nuclear Men! Jason and Ronnie are the main protagonists (and rivaling students at the same High School). During an explosion from a capsule given to Jason by Martin Stein, they are transformed into the Nuclear Men and are fugitives on the run. Here's the catch, when Ronnie and Jason get mad and fight, the combine to form Fury, a deadly giant Firestorm, which they each have limited control of. They are able to turn on and off their powers in a Shazam like manner, by yelling "FIRESTORM!" at the top of their lungs. They must use their new found powers to protect themselves from corporate mercenaries and rogue Firestorm terrorists.

Fury!

There are a few plot holes in the story, but overall it is really well done and I was surprised at how much I liked it! Ronnie and Jason are each unique and so it makes the fight scenes interesting. Ronnie (a jock) is more of a brawler and uses his football background to take out the competition. Jason (a nerd), on the other hand, is capable of understanding his powers and is able to transmute and manipulate matter.

Jason (Yellow) and Ronnie (Red)

Part John Hughes movie, part espionage, all nuclear. This title is really unique and definitely worth checking out!

The Fury of Firestorm - The Nuclear Men Vol 1: God Particle is an explosive 8 out of 10 Nuclear Men!
