A few months ago, I walked into Midwest Pickers Warehouse in Omaha with my wife. She wanted to look for some retro-ish credenza for our hallway. For those of you who don’t live here or who haven’t been, this business is exactly what it sounds like – – a couple of folks sitting in a…
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…
Between his funny voice and Tom Hardy’s inherent magnetism, it’s very easy to ignore everything else in “The Dark Knight Rises.” But, believe it or not, there’s actually a plot in that movie, and it doesn’t make a LICK of sense. Don’t get me wrong, though. I love the movie. Absolutely. I’ll see it dozens…
I recently watched The Dark Knight Rises for a third time in theatres, and a question kept popping into my mind (one of many, actually). Why did Batman care about Catwoman AT ALL? Why did he choose her as his future, beyond the cape? There are a lot of head-scratchers in that movie, but that…

JIM DOOM: Okay everybody, welcome back to another edition of the Podcast of Doom, Doomkopf.com’s podcast. DOOM DeLUISE: Of doom. JIM DOOM: Yes, of doom. So next month is DC’s big “#0” month, which…
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.
