From Superman The Movie, to Watchmen, to the Avengers, everyone has seen and loved a superhero film but it is not just superhero films anymore, it is a genre.
Deshawn and Frank discuss the now full fledged genre of Superhero films and what kind of genre it is. Also we sound off on some of our favorite superhero films.
Remember that joke about the pre-pubescent child getting stabbed in the chest? Well... turns out the Bat Family is pretty torn up about that. Who knew? We've also got Amazonian on Vampire action. Things are getting steamy. ...You know you were thinking it too.
In this 20th episode of Real Books Don't Have Batman we review:
Faster then a speeding bullet, more powerful then a locomotive, able to leap over buildings in a single bound, and has to many Origin stories to count! Frank and Deshawn discuss what is the Best Superman Story and what makes a "great" Origin story. We discuss a wide variety of Superman origin stories, from the many comic adaptions, to the cartoon and of course Superman the Movie.
We've got Aquaman being awesome (it happens more often than you think), we got undead Ronald Reagan vs. Deadpool in SPAAAAACE. We've also got some Fifth Dimension shenanigans included with every meal.
Whether a reboot, a retcon, or a character revival, characters tend to go back to square one, no matter what the development. We discuss the "Status Quo Effect"
Planet of the Apes style invasion and war? The ghost of Peter Parker? A character named Deadman who dies? ...Seems legit. In this final week of January we review Red Lanterns #16, Talon #4, The Flash #16, Justice League Dark #16, Aquaman #16, and The Superior Spider-Man #2.
Real Books Don't Have Batman spends some time Nerd Ragin as Deshawn and Frank discuss the Worst Superheroes to ever be created. A list full of rejects, bad plot twists, terrible characterization and a talking squirrel entrusted with one of my most powerful weapons in the universe. Listen in to hear about the worst of the worst.
