Thank You, Yvonne Craig

I remember as a little kid in the 1970s, watching “Batman” EVERY WEEKDAY, I really, really liked her, but didn’t yet understand why! LOL! (Her abilities obviously included the skill to breathe and move in that costume. 🙂 ) After I saw Batgirl, I then decided that any episode with her in it was one of the good ones.

CNN reminds me that she was the first female superhero on television. I never thought of that, then or now!

It also took me years later to realize that Batgirl coincided with Eartha Kitt’s Catwoman! (Double score! LOL! 🙂 ) And Catwoman hated Batgirl!

The End of the FF? Not-So-Fantastic Fourth Try

Posted on by toddpanther

As you get older, acceptance becomes easier. So, after accepting the tragedy of “Fantastic Four,” this No. 1 FF fan (owned hundreds of comics, cartoons, toys, etc.) has accepted that there will never be a good Fantastic Four movie in his lifetime.

The above is the never-released 1994 first FF film. (Of course, I owned a copy in the VHS days.) The theme music is good, at least!

50-Word Review of “Ant-Man”

A ghetto “Oceans 11” meets superhero movie! The stars may be white, but the funny supporting cast is Black and Latino.

The “urban audience” word-of-mouth will make this a strong hit for Marvel! This ALMOST makes up for Marvel giving Ava DuVernay the boot!

P.S. So onward to “Captain America: Civil War!”

“The Flash” Finale……

………was quite extraordinary. And shocking and sad!

Sorry for the new cliche, but: this show is everything a superhero TV show should be. Twenty-three episodes and its potential is fulfilled. Now it has to stay there for nine more seasons.

The above is more evidence that geeks have won!

(Now onto Season 3 of “Beauty and the Beast.”)

Wow! “Flash”/”Arrow” Universe Spinoff And New One! Wow! (CW’s “Legends of Tomorrow” and CBS’ “Supergirl”)

LOL! Lookit Arthur Darvill (“Rory”) doing HIS Doctor, with long David Tennant-like coat and stuff! LOL! 🙂 Long time to January!

Hmm…..a Black Jimmy Olsen and the return of Calista Flockhart to network television? Not too bad. It’ll move to the CW when CBS screws with it. 🙂

(Everything I liked got renewed: “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD,” “Agent Carter,” “Arrow,” “Flash,” “Gotham,” and now the above stuff added! That’s a LOT of comicbook network TV!)
