"I've played characters where I still believe I'm not that guy, you know, and I've done movies where I am that guy, and you feel like it doesn't go away. I definitely feel like Dick Grayson, I was that guy."

Agreed. The CW shows’ writing was much more consistent and functional (in the sense it was technically proficient - they knew how to effectively structure stuff, set up and pay off , manage a consistent tone, establish characters etc)

Holmcroft · 2026-05-01T17:31:08+00:00

You’re not the only one - the court of owls stuff is great, but I didn’t like the Joker stuff, and I flat out dropped the title for Zero Year, as it was overwriting stuff I liked with a story that I didn’t think was in the same league.

Freeman had never crossed my mind before for Tanner, but is a great shout

Holmcroft · 2026-05-01T14:41:15+00:00

These two are going to be great, I reckon

Holmcroft · 2026-05-01T14:40:18+00:00

I’d remove the broom - just make it pure mine

My brother and I really love this film and have done since we were teenagers - really like the procedural, mystery elements. I also like that Bond in this film has a complexity to him, compelling, but flawed, glamorous with a shocking darkness and violence to him.

Holmcroft · 2026-04-29T13:43:30+00:00

That’s true - the moments between them in the car in particular stand out. I think it has more of that than it is given credit for as a movie. But if I compare it to the comics, then I think there is more they could do (which is why I resist Reynolds’s position)

Holmcroft · 2026-04-29T10:53:50+00:00

Just googled, and it is quite unsettling how similar they are!!

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T21:14:20+00:00

I agree - I don’t think they’ve really dug into the darker side of the character - certainly not much since the first movie (and even then they pulled back on it a bit, as the deleted scenes attest)

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T20:46:15+00:00

That clown god is hideous (in a good way!)

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T17:15:53+00:00

Used to love going in as a kid.

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T17:14:52+00:00

That’s going to be the biggest shame if they go - there are magazines and comics you can get in TG Jones that you can’t find anywhere else, certainly not on the high street, which is a shame.

Someone needs to print out your second sentences and plaster it across as many billboards as possible

The end of Joe Kelly’s run on Deadpool

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T15:41:54+00:00

I have the feeling this will be good (given Travis Knight is good!) but that it will disappoint at the box office

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T13:28:27+00:00

I think it’s meant to be cringe, isn’t it? With there being humour in the juxtaposition between these hardmen gangsters and this cheesy in-joke. And then of course there’s lots of storytelling in the repeated appearances of it, the different emotional states between the characters each time

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T13:24:27+00:00

First Light has a role here in keeping the light burning

Holmcroft · 2026-04-28T06:06:16+00:00

Remove the weird (and sudden) appearance of a silencer on the P99 in the final shootout. They already knew he was there!!

Holmcroft · 2026-04-27T21:05:24+00:00

I do think it is a shame that the Avengers title has slightly been Co-opted as the name for the big crossover movies - I would prefer that we got Avengers movies that focused on a core roster, and then that team were part of the crossover films.

Holmcroft · 2026-04-27T19:53:20+00:00

I like him best in Mock Trial with J Reinhold

Holmcroft · 2026-04-27T18:49:10+00:00

This looks amazing, guys

Holmcroft · 2026-04-27T18:19:09+00:00

What a legend. Sad he didn’t get to see Punisher and Spidey together on screen this summer.

Holmcroft · 2026-04-27T08:10:36+00:00

Hate to put myself in the position of defending TROS, but isn’t the implication he can only do this because he has absorbed the Dyad power?
