Captain America sucks. It’s true. He’s a boring character from a bygone era. If he were in the DC Universe, he’d be a member of the Justice Society, pushed to the fringe where he belongs, a reminder of where superheroes came from but not much good for anything else. He punched Hitler on the jaw…
[SFX: Intro music] JIM DOOM: Hello and welcome to the latest Podcast of Doom. I’m your host, Jim Doom, and with me as always, or at least most of the time — DOOM DeLUISE: Always. JIM DOOM: — is Doom DeLuise. [SFX: Intro music fade out] So 24 Hour Comics is coming up in one…
BleedingCool posted an image from the upcoming “The Wolverine” movie, which, if I remember right, is based on the Chris Claremont / Frank Miller miniseries that was set in Japan. It probably involved samurai and ninjas, but honestly I don’t remember all that much about it even though 1) I remember reading my cousin’s copy…
Greetings! Salutations! It’s my great pleasure to introduce you to the newest member of the Legion here on Doomkopf. He’s brand new to reading comics, which is pretty cool, if you ask me. Too often, we get caught up in this weird culture where we all end up having the same take on everything, so…
Deadline has reported, and would-be director Joe Carnahan has confirmed (after initially being a little more vague) that the ’70s-style take on Daredevil at Fox isn’t going to happen. But Carnahan clarified that it wasn’t due to a lack of interest or passion at Fox. “DD pitch was tremendous and everyone flipped for it,” he…
In all the excitement about Marvel canceling Fantastic Four for the second time in two years and relaunching it with a new #1, Matt Fraction revealed late in the story (can’t blame him — he’s not the reporter — but seriously, you’re like halfway through before the news hits) that Defenders will end its run…
I’ve long felt that the 2003 Daredevil was a pretty unfairly maligned movie. Even though I’ve attempted to qualify my appreciation by claiming the director’s cut is far superior (it is!) the film still generated $100 million more than it cost and did a good job of setting up a “Born Again” storyline. But a…
Welcome back! It’s been a few years since I did one of these, but don’t worry. I’m sure you’ve missed them a lot more than I have, but I’m back for another dose of your yearly look ahead to superhero movies. Last year, we had a slew of hit-and-miss Marvel movies, along with one notable…
I just saw the trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Take a look: Now I DESPISE Nicolas Cage, so there’s no chance I’ll be watching this movie, but hot damn, that kind of looks good. The action scenes with GR in full-on flaming skull mode look really cool. Seeing Ghost Rider out during the…
