Many Spider-Man fans weren’t so thrilled about the two-part The Amazing Spider-Man series with Andrew Garfield playing Peter Parker. However, after the highly successful Sam Raimi trilogy with Tobey Maguire, the Amazing Spider-Man had difficult footsteps to follow in. As such, the expectations were high and despite the movies’ many positive moments, The Amazing Spider-Man wasn’t such a hit. It’s been seven years since the second movie premiered and it looked like Garfield would never reprise his part again....

Of all the superheroes, Batman probably has the best cast of supervillains to do battle with. Their true genius is in their meaningfulness; almost every Batman antagonist represents an aspect of the Bat himself.

Scarecrow was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1941, though the character only made a couple of appearances before his reappearance in 1967....

Halloween wasn’t originally meant to focus on Michael Myers only....

Instilling terror into the hearts and minds of criminals is the whole point of Batman’s persona. The intimidation factor plays a huge role in his mystique. After all, Batman wouldn’t be nearly as effective if the goons he fights were not afraid of him. However, there is no denying that certain depictions of Batman have painted him in a positively nightmare-inducing light. The scariest versions of Batman often portray him at his most brutal, coloring his persona in shades of gray or sometimes in outright villainy....

The first trailer for the Uncharted movie released this week, and while fan reception was mixed, there’s no denying that it seems to be capturing the aesthetics of the source material well. Although the movie doesn’t look like it’s following the continuity of the games, it does seem to feature a lot of moments that happen across the series. However, it’s important that the movie isn’t just a “greatest hits collection,” because these set pieces from the games - although exhilarating - aren’t what make Uncharted good....
