The Killing Joke What can I say about this that I already havent said in my review for the comic ? This is one of my all time favorite comic book stories. Not only do we get an origin story for the Joker but we see that dynamic between Batman and Joker where they almost need each other. Batman needs Joker to keep him on his path and to remind him there is a line and Batman can never cross it. Joker needs Batman because with out Batman his life is empty and meaningless. There isn't a punch line without the caped crusader.  I have been waiting for this movie for what seems like forever. I remember when I first heard this was going to be made and since then I have hung on every post and article about this. The casting was going to be key but only for Batman and Joker. Whoever was in charge of casting made the best decision ever. Batman was none other than Kevin Conroy who voiced Batman in the Animated Series and a few other DCEU animated movies. He is the voice of Batman an

It has been almost 3 years since I have done a Waiting on Wednesday post but after this year's San Diego Comic Con there is a lot I'm anxious to see so I figured I would give my favorite highlights that I'm waiting on. Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Jill over at  Breaking the Spine.  waiting It is a book meme but I am spinning this to my needs because my blog does both books and movies and I get just as excited about up coming movies and television as I do books. Sadly I didn't get to attend Comic Con but one day I hope to go. I did just join Twitter this year and I follow a bunch of Nerdist people like @hardwick, @jessicachobot, @osteoferocious and @Sci_Phile. I also follow a bunch of DC Comics people and all the actors from Flash and Arrow as well as Bruce Campbell so my feed was jam packed with all kinds of comic con goodness. So let's get into the fun stuff. Movie wise I'm most excited to see the new Wonder Woman movie coming out

Ghostbusters I loved the original movies. These are on my top time all favorites next to Back to the Future, and Dark Knight. I can remember seeing Ghostbusters 2 at the theater with my Mom and some friends. Now, I'm not a fan of change. I have near had anxiety attacks when they change the actor who plays Batman or any character I have enjoyed. When I saw they were making a new Ghostbusters movie there was some reservation like a lot of fans had. I can honestly say it had nothing to do with the fact the Ghostbusters were women but because it wouldn't be Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis , or Ernie Hudson. These were the guys that created these characters and had action figures and a cartoon series based off of them. Even throwing a group of guys in to play the roles would have given me reservations.  So I kept reading different things and seeing the little images released and my excitement grew. When I saw the first trailer the special effects alone were awesome.

The Gunslinger I first started reading this series almost 6 years ago. I was new to Stephen King and the world of science fiction. I had no idea what to expect but I was sucked into the world that moved on and the wheel of Ka. When I started this I was new to Goodreads and writing reviews. Here is my review from when I fist read this book. So for years I have heard about this series and wondered if it was really as good as everyone has said. After a brief pause from reading, I finally got the reading bug again and decided I had to give it a try. At first I started reading this knowing full well it was all lead in and it might be slow, but in one sitting I had already finished 100 pages. Still I was unsure if I liked it but as days went by I found that I couldn't stop thinking about this book. I had to know what was going to happen next and I had so many questions that it drew me in every time I picked it up. Stephen King did such a great job with this first book, that even

The Deliverman So I Knew this book came before Deaver's newest book The Steel Kiss, but I wanted to see if this had any big effect if I didn't read it. Deaver is my favorite author so of course I'm going to read everything he writes. However, with other authors I don't follow so closely it is easy to miss the little in-between stories. Sometimes you miss something if you don't read them but I can happily say this one not only stands on its own but doesn't really effect The Steel Kiss. So if you haven't read this and would rather read the new novel you will be fine. One thing I will admit is that Stell Kiss starts off talking about the Baxter Case. I was really hoping this book would be all about that case but this seems to take place after that case as well.  This is a novella so it is just longer than a short story. In this story Lincoln and Amelia are faced with one of the toughest crime scenes they have dealt with. A man was killed in a trash f

The Life Equation Ok, so reading this before Vol 7 is highly recommended. As you may or may not know I read Vol 7 first due to the fact I got approved for the ARC from Net Galley and DC Comics. So of course I read Renegade first. I needed to give it a review ti be fair to the publisher and didn't have time to wait. Reading this didn't change my views on Vol 7 now that I know what is going on so that review still holds true.  Let me start off with the one huge gripe I have with the Green Lantern Books. There are so many Green lantern books that it is impossible to read them all and get the whole story. DC, if you are going to do this please add some sort of note, *Previous scene in New Gods#...* This story has the New Gods attacking the Green Lantern Corps and crushing them, all to get at Kyle Rayner. The Highfather wants the Life Equation in Kyle. Kyle is the White Lantern which controls all of the emotional spectrums. This isn't a spoiler so no need to worry bu

Skin Game Have you ever wanted to read a book so much that you purposely avoid starting it? I finally caught up to the end of the series currently and I just didn't want it to end. Now I have to wait for the next book and I just don't know what to do with myself. I not only dragged my feet starting this book but I also took my sweet time reading this so I didn't get to the end. Jim Butcher has created these characters that when I pick up a book I feel like I am visiting with old friends. I get so wrapped up in these fictional characters that I cheer for them when things go their way and cry with them when they don't. It is ridiculous and crazy to get so wrapped up in people who are not real and only exist in the mind of a great writer. This book is no different that any other Dresden book. When it seems like things can't get any worse for Dresden it does. Harry is ordered by Mab for his next job and it happens to be working for one of Harry's most hated
