Triple H Is Leaving As Champ: Wrestlemania 32 Prediction

I’ve been saying it for months now, ever since Triple H won the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble: He’s leaving Wrestlemania as champion. It’s not necessarily for any one reason, but as is always the case when the winds shift at the last minute in his storyline favor—for a confluence of reasons that just…



New Japan Acquisitions: Is This WWF 1984 or WWF 1999?

The news this week that four New Japan stars may soon be headed to WWE has sparked some unexpected and intriguing speculation about WWE’s plans for this talent, particularly revolving around the former members of New Japan’s Bullet Club. It’s the kind of thing that has me completely flipping my opinion on whether I’d like…



Thoughts on Leto’s Joker

I was skeptical of the casting of Heath Ledger as The Joker. He didn’t look like Jack Nicholson’s Joker. He didn’t sound like Jack Nicholson’s Joker. He didn’t act like Jack Nicholson’s Joker. But once we saw him, it was clear that the way he looked, sounded and acted was awesome. A lot of the…



Dawn of Justice trailer review: Revealing Superman’s true identity

The expression on Superman’s face at the beginning of the trailer for Dawn of Justice really sums up the tone: “I don’t have time to explain to these stupid people how lucky they are that I’m clumsily destroying their city. “But if you’re going to make me explain myself…” (sigh) “…I’ll humor you.” (It doesn’t…



I would watch “Avengers ’78” so many times

I see from YouTube that this was uploaded three years ago, but I have just discovered it through the power of social media.



Have you seen the new Aquaman photo?



Arrow: S1/E2

Somehow I missed in the first episode that Walter had an English accent. Did he have that in the first episode? Something about the drama in episode 2 felt a little more over-the-top in a bad way, but I like the evolving relationship between Oliver and the tough-talking veteran bodyguard. The scene with Oliver fighting…



Arrow: S1/E1

Doom DeLuise has long sung the praises of Arrow, or maybe it was Doominator (I get those two confused. They both have Doom in their name), so I’ve decided to get caught up from nothing and add to our archives in the process by blogging about each episode as I watch it. And maybe someday…



The Doomino Effect for Jan 21, 2015

I forgot to do this column for the past 80-some weeks so let’s get back in the swing of things, shall we? Speaking of swinging, that reminds me of The Amazing Spider-Man #13, part 5 of Spider-Verse. I cannot tell you the last time I thought a crossover was this much fun. I think on…
