Batman: Caped Crusader - In Treacherous Waters

Bringing together some of the creative minds behind Batman: The Animated Series, mixing them with ideas from co-producer and writer Ed Brubaker, and keeping the noir style and look of that show, but with a darker tone set earlier in Batman’s career centered more around gang violence and corruption than colorful super-villains, comes Batman: Caped Crusader. The first episode of the series sees gang war heating up with someone taking shots at crime boss Rupert Thorne by blowing up his factories.

Deadpool & Wolverine

While the premise of Deadpool & Wolverine is clear enough, add Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the MCU, the plot of the film (which features five different writers) feels a bit stitched together haphazardly from various other TV and movie properties without bringing much new to the table. If what you are looking for is a fun summer movie with an excess of blood, sarcasm, in-jokes, and cameos, with yet another odd-couple pairing like we got in the more satisfying Deadpool 2, then Deadpool & Wolverine delivers. Without doubt, it’s fun. However, like previous Deadpool films, Deadpool and Wolverine is more outlier than core franchise tale offering little to build on for the future.
