DC comics has to get with the program.

Wilkes-Barre movies 14 opened this weekend. Its a movie theater about 3 minutes from my house in downtown wilkes-barre. The idea is to breath new life into the downtown and to get people excited about the city. Previously, I would have had to drive 30 minutes to montage mountain to see a movie. The montage expirience has many faults other than the distance from my house...but I won't go there.

Coincidentally, Superman also opened this week. I've been waiting for the superman movie for what seems like ever. I remember when they were talking about casting Nicholas cage for the role....boy, I'm glad that didn't happen. In some respects, I was a little afraid of the new superman. Hell, they casted some no-name to replace my childhood hero Christopher reeves, and they casted Kate Bosworth to play lois lane. I'm not a Kate Bosworth fan. Yeah, she's hot and all, but she was anything but tough in that surfer girl movie.

All that being said, I think this Brandon Routh guy is believable in both the roles of Clark Kent, and of Superman. Actually, by the end of the movie, I didn't find myself longing for Christofer Reeves. Brandon Routh is to Superman what Pierce Bronson was to James Bond...in a word, remarkable.

The movie is good, its real good. I have one complaint. My brother-in-law recently blogged about the subject of apologies and women. If women accepted apologies as well as men did, they could have cut 30 minutes off of Superman Returns.

So what's with the title of my blog? What do I mean by DC has to get with the program?

Over the last 5 years, I've seen 2 spidermen, 3 xmen, a punisher, a hulk, 2 daredevils, and an electra. Over the same period of time, DC has hit me with only 1 superman, 1 batman, and a catwoman(yeah whatever, it may have sucked, but its still a DC movie). DC needs to start pumping out more batman and superman movies. They rock.

I hear that they're making a wonder woman movie. Just stop production on that now. Aside from aquaman, wonderwoman is the stupidest super hero ever made. Seriously, WTF is the point of having an invisible jet if you're NOT INVISIBLE? Who wrote that crap? Who decided that that was a good idea? She's an amazon from the island of amazons, she's decent with a whip, and she has an invisible jet. I hope that guy lost his job.
