  • The ‘Who Wins’ series concludes with Superman vs. Wonder Woman, 2 of the most powerful heroes of the DC Comics universe. As I said on the other ‘who wins’ blogs, it all depends on the writers. Superman and Wonder Woman are equal in power, strength, speed, and flight and that’s where it ends. Notice that… Read more

  •             Now here’s another superhero debate that will never die – who will win between Superman and Shazam Captain Marvel? The answer to that as well as the other ‘who wins’ debate is that it depends on the writers. I have seen Captain Marvel sneak in a super sucker punch on Superman to get the… Read more

  • Last week’s most anticipated episode, Justice, was a hard episode to follow. But they followed it up with Labyrinth, which features the Martian Manhunter J’onn J’onnz, who should have been in Justice but couldn’t for budget reasons. The majority of this episode has Clark in an alternate world in his own head where he has… Read more

  •                There is a comic debate over the years on who would win between the top 2 superheroes, Superman and Batman. The real definitive answer is that it depends on the writers. One writer would have Superman take out Batman with his super-strength and super-speed before Batman does anything. Another writer would have Batman would have… Read more

  •                          As I predicted – Smallville: Justice is the highest rated episode of the season. All of the hype for Smallville: Justice has definitely paid off and the producers confirmed that the members will return, but only separately. I predict that there will be a Justice League series when Smallville ends with Clark flying out… Read more

  • AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! I have been waiting for a Smallville episode to feature the Justice League and it delivered in spades. All the heroes who appeared in Smallville such as Impulse, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Green Arrow have now returned for a team-up episode and we all knew it was going to happen. The episode focused… Read more

  • I’ve read somewhere in the DC message boards that Superman is NOT about action. You have got to be kidding me!! Superman stars in his solo book and Action Comics, hence the word Action. He also has All-Star, Confidential, and the team-up book with Batman. If Superman is not about action, then what’s the point… Read more

  •                   Over the last 20 years, I have been hearing people complaining that Superman is not cool because he is too perfect and too nice. The people who have been making these comments are those who don’t read enough Superman books and do not like the character at all. If Superman was truly perfect, then… Read more

  • I have been watching Smallville since day one with its pilot episode and I was hooked on to it since because it’s a Superman TV series about Clark’s journey to become Superman. The first four seasons were great because it focused on his high school years without the tights and flights. If Clark wore the suit… Read more

  • In the real world, people have made it to the top while others didn’t. Why is that? The people who have made it to the top have something more than just hard work – they have dedication, perseverance, determination, leadership, purpose, and charisma. They set their sights on what they work for – money, success,… Read more
