Of all the superheroes in all the world, Batman is one of the most iconic and legendary. Why is that? Is it his great fortune? His ultimate humanity? His unique symbol or quest for justice? Or is it partly the fact that he has spawned some of the greatest villains in all of modern literature, never minding their origins in comic book form? Yes, it is safe to say that Batman's rogues' gallery is arguably the greatest in all of comic books simply because each villain has a fascinating thing…

The Hunt for Gollum will premier on May 8th. For those of you who do not know about this film I'll fill you in on the basics:



The film is a non-profit film made in England on a budget of, apparently, £3,000.

While inspired by the production design of Peter Jackson's trilogy it takes its cues from the books rather than the films. The cast is… Continue

Each book is better than the last. I've been carrying the books around with me while at work and christmas shopping, and people keep saying, 'hey I'm reading that - isn't it great!' And it is. It's been a LONG time since a book has made me turn off the tv and my… Continue
