Batman Could Hang Up the Cowl After 'Justice League'
When Ben Affleck signed on to be a part of the DC Extended Universe, he became a pivotal cog in the entire production of the cinematic universe, not only as the next iteration of the Dark Knight himself.

Loud, brash, and a curveball of a film, the jury is still out on whether Aliens surpasses its predecessor.

Whilst we will leave you to chew on that, let's look at what has happened to the cast since they departed LV-426 three decades ago.

Review of The Orville 1.1-5
I'd planned on catching up on all the episodes of The Orville thus far before writing a review, but episode 1.5 was so good -- and a time travel story to boot, my favorite kind of science fiction -- that I couldn't wait any longer. So here's this, and then I'll post another review when I'm caught up, and then I'll review every episode that comes after.
