KITE MAN: HELL YEAH! SERIES REVIEW When you are a villain that’s mocked by the C-list and even ridiculed by the most obscure Robins, sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. Kite Man (Matt Oberg) is an off-again never-again romantic interest from the Adult Swim DC dark comedy show Harley Quinn. With a […]

It’s a mashup of everything you love about the Batman universe […]

AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM MOVIE REVIEW Jason Momoa takes one last turn as the King of Atlantis in this follow-up to 2018’s Aquaman. This time around, he and Mera (Amber Heard) have had a child and rearing them takes about as much out of Aquaman as does being the King of the undersea empire. […]

HARLEY QUINN SEASON 4 REVIEW As the old saying goes, people need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy. Nothing more dramatic than taking the next step in your relationship and having a severe career change! Light up the signal but not for Batman. Bruce is on a Blackgate sabbatical and Harley Quinn (Kaley […]

MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN SEASON 1 REVIEW For 85 years, the Last Son of Krypton has been fighting for truth and justice, and battling evil of all sorts. He balances a life as the superhero all other superheroes are compared to while living as mild mannered Clark Kent, working for the Daily Planet alongside the […]

BLUE BEETLE MOVIE REVIEW DC has obviously been going through some changes of late with their filmed content and Blue Beetle may, or may not be, the first in the new DCU. Honestly, it’s really just a stand alone, which is probably for the best as it really lets what works about it shine: the […]

THE FLASH MOVIE REVIEW In what may or may not be the last gasps of DC’s Snyder-verse (it’s always too soon to call what Warner Brothers is gonna actually do until you see it happening in a movie theater), Ezra Miller returns as the Scarlet Speedster, the Flash. This time around he is sad, remembering […]

BLACK ADAM MOVIE REVIEW So, from what it sounds like to me, The Rock walked right into WB offices, said, here, I’m Black Adam. Make the movie, and turned around and walked out. That’s my imagining of it anyway. I’ll tell you that DC’s latest super-hero film definitely feels like a bunch of executives scrambling […]

HARLEY QUINN SEASON 3 REVIEW Harley Quinn and the cob squad are back busting heads and wreaking havoc all throughout the grimy streets of Gotham.  We shall all celebrate their return in the ways of Themyscira.  We’re going to have a F*#ck’n Rager.  Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) want the world […]

DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS MOVIE REVIEW In this animated film from the pages of DC Comics, the story doesn’t follow the superheroes from the universe we know so well, but their pets. More specifically, Krypto voiced by Dwayne Johnson. Superman’s equally powered dog loves his life and loves his best friend Clark Kent. But one […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 300 – THE BIG THREE OH-OH FACE Chris and Aaron don’t have anything special planned for the big 300 episode I’m sad to say. Unless you count a show with pretty much all stuff we dug to one extent or another. From a DC hero filtered through Lupin III to one of […]

THE BATMAN MOVIE REVIEW A new version of the Batman mythos has been launched by director Matt Reeves (The Planet of the Apes trilogy) with Robert Pattinson donning the cowl and cape. It’s year two for Bats and he’s pretty pissed off. There is no ‘Bruce Wayne’ persona other than being known as a completely […]

PEACEMAKER SERIES REVIEW Continuing on where the post-credits scene in The Suicide Squad left off, this HBO Max eight-episode series explores what happens next for the anti-hero Peacemaker (John Cena) after his hospitalization. Of course, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) isn’t going to let him go that easy and there are some of her subordinates, Jennifer […]

DOOM PATROL SEASON 3 SERIES REVIEW Time to get weird again as we dive into the third season of HBO Max’s adaptation of DC Comics’ “Doom Patrol”.

SUPERMAN AND LOIS SERIES REVIEW It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s SCREENER SQUAD! A group of mild-mannered reviewers came together to review “Superman and Lois”, the newest CW Arrowverse show. The show follows Lois Lane and Clark Kent moving to Smallville after one of their twin sons develops super powers. Smallville turns out […]

THE SUICIDE SQUAD MOVIE REVIEW James Gunn slides on over to pick up the reigns at DC with this second “Suicide Squad” film and the anticipation level, for those of us who dig Gunn’s whole thing, loved his “Guardians of the Galaxy” films AND his pre-big budget crazier fare, was sky high. His version of […]

ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE REVIEW It’s here! After years of hashtags and speculations, the Snyder Cut is out on HBO Max for everyone to see in its four-hour long, R-rated, 4:3 aspect ratio glory. What’s the synopsis of this movie? Well…it’s both exactly the same plot as Joss Whedon’s Justice League and yet it’s […]

WONDER WOMAN 1984 MOVIE REVIEW Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) returns many decades after the last film (but still not up to our time) in the year 1984. She works for the Smithsonian museum cataloguing artifacts from am ancient culture she’s uniquely qualified to have certain types of input on while moonlighting, as secretly as the […]

STARGIRL (DC) TV SERIES REVIEW The first season of Stargirl has come to a close and it’s time to see if it truly reaches for the stars or if it needs to lose its stripes. Incorporating many elements from the initial arcs of Geoff Johns’ comic, the story takes place a decade after the greatest […]

DOOM PATROL – SEASON 2 REVIEW DC’s Best live-action TV show (that’s right, I went there) gets upgraded to HBOMAX this season and that should testify to our conviction as to its quality right there. This season the dysfunctional super-family goes from tiny to normal, deal with their new beastly-faced diminutive member who unfortunately could […]

HARLEY QUINN SEASON 2 TV SERIES REVIEW The hit animated series for grown-ups (seriously) continues with a fresh batch of episodes that take the story of Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Killer Shark, Dr. Psycho, Clayface, and tons more of your favorite c-list characters to even greater heights of insanity. With Joker presumed dead and Gotham […]

ARROW (THE FINAL SEASON) TV REVIEW **WARNING: THIS WILL HAVE SPOILER DISCUSSIONS** Now that the flagship CW DC universe has come to a close (kind of) and we’ve had some time to think on the denouement, it’s time to give our in-depth analysis on Arrow’s final season. It’s hard to summarize everything that happened since […]

BIRDS OF PREY MOVIE REVIEW Ahem. The ENTIRE title is, “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)”. Although “Harley Quinn and also Featuring The Birds of Prey” would have been a more accurate title, it’s important to note that this film is primarily about Harley (Margot Robbie) being fantabulously emancipated. See, […]

JOKER MOVIE REVIEW Controversy tends to bring sales and that’s certainly appearing to be the case in the DC Comics kinda-sorta Joker origin story starring Joaquin Phoenix as the garishly painted killer. Here, in a pre-Batman time, he plays a failing clown for hire/stand-up who already is severely psychologically damaged and the mean streets of […]

SWAMP THING SEASON 1 REVIEW Ok, I know it says ‘season 1’ which is the sorta thing that indicates there might be a season 2. According to the DC streaming network, due to their own mistakes, this is not going to be the case. John Gholson and Chris dive into the controversy behind this as […]

SHAZAM MOVIE REVIEW The very first comic book superhero to get adapted into a film (in 1941) finally gets a second round with the release of the DCU film Shazam. Once a more popular hero than even Superman, the originally titled Captain Marvel (forced to change his name over a lawsuit with DC, and 20 […]

James Wan takes this helm of the movie I really thought I’d never see in my lifetime. The DC comics character of Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, is played again here by Jason Momoa where he has to work with Mera (Amber Heard) and Vulko (Willem Dafoe) to get a sacred trident so he […]

Matt assembles the forces of Chris, Morgan, and Jeff to combine and take on the wild and weird Batman: Ninja animated film. Also, stick around for the first of Matt’s Hot Takes: Thundercats Roar!

The Arrow-verse (or CW-verse, or Berlanti-verse) had their biggest crossover yet this year with the DC Comics shows, Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow, all meeting up over four episodes to fight parallel Earth Nazi versions of themselves. So we put together our own team to take it on and see how it […]

Well, here we are. After several disappointing films and one solid one, the DCU has built up to their big team-up film. What, we got yer Batman, we got yer Aquaman, we got yer Flash, we got yer Wonder Woman, and we got yer Cyborg. Pretty much the Justice League, right? Yeah, and that other […]
