"The Adam Project" REVIEW
I'll admit it: I wasn't excited for The Adam Project. The last time Netflix collaborated with Ryan Reynolds, we got Red Notice. I liked Red Notice fine, but it hardly blew me away. Before that, Netflix and Ryan Reynolds gave us 6 Underground, which is pretty flashy, loud, and stupid. So when I heard that they were collaborating again, I put it on my to-watch list, but I didn't make it into a priority.

Black Comic Book Creators At Marvel You Should Know
Why is there only one month for Black history when there are twelve months in a year? Never makes much sense to me. Who cares if it is not February anymore? Black authors should be celebrated all of the time. In this article, I want to focus on those black creators who have recently worked on Marvel materials. Most comic book fans are familiar with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, and artists Sanford Greene and Brian Stelfreeze, who have all worked on Black Panther. Hopefully, the following list will expose you to someone new.

My Review of "The Batman (2022)"
The Batman (2022) is a very different type of superhero movie. Gone are the big bombastic super powers. Instead we have a human trying to grapple into his own consciousness to understand why he's doing what he does. We're on the ride during his journey.

Review: "The Batman"
The character of Batman has been synonymous with film ever since he appeared in Tim Burton's take of the Caped Crusader back in the late 80s. It is easy to say that the character will forever be a staple in movie theaters, but many would argue that no film has truly captured what makes the great so great on the comic book panels. Until now. Burton's take on the character was much more cartoonish, Nolan's was more realistic and grounded in reality stripping away any of the larger-than-life elements of the character. Matt Reeves noir thriller film feels like it is straight ripped from the pages of many comic book fans' beloved stories. Reeves depiction of Gotham feels alive, and terrifying in its musty and moody crime-filled streets. It clearly draws inspiration from "The Long Halloween" and "No Man's Land", two stories that were loosely used even in Nolan's trilogy. Some may find fault in how each iteration of Batman has gotten darker and darker, but the character and the world he occupies need to be closer to what Reeves has crafted with this film for it to truly work.

Dance with the Devil: The Joker in Cinema
Every few decades, something very unique happens: An audience sits down in a movie theater, the movie screen illuminates and the audience is swept away. The energy of the auditorium changes and everyone realizes they are watching something special. This happened when audiences were introduced to Darth Vader. It happened again two decades later when Clarice Starling walked into that dungeon, down the corridor, and was greeted by Dr. Hannibal Lecter. And it happened in 2008 when this masked figure robbed a bank in Gotham City. The Joker arrived. He’d been in live-action movies before but this time something was different; something we could not articulate. Cinema had changed.
