Anudder Woman

I still remember that whole plot in “Batman Forever”, one of my favourites, where the awkward, poorly socialized Edward Nygma idolizes his rich, glamorous superior, Bruce Wayne, and obsesses over him to the point of emulation. I remember seeing it again in “Iron Man 3” with the exact same hair. Before and after. And again in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”. Different hair and blue skin, Worse teeth.

But now that classic “Notice Me, Senpai” school of villainy is back at DC with Kristen Wiig’s Barbara Minerva in the new Wonder Woman movie, and all is right with the world. Well, many things aren’t. But this is.

It’s a good movie. That’s what I’m saying.

Black Scorpion

So. Dwayne Johnson finally gave an official announcement about his Black Adam movie. And that’s great. The last two big DC superhero movies, “Aquaman” and “Shazam”, were my favourites of the franchise, and this looks to be a bit of a mix of both. Big, classic adventure from the former and shiny magic from the latter.

But really, the mystic desert action its premise implies makes me hopeful for it to be the Scorpion King sequel we never got. Or the one we didn’t get The Rock in. That movie definitely had sequels. And all of them disappeared into the void without even scraping Dwayne.

So. This should be epic.
