the pop culture slum

it's a strange, wondrous world we live in--videogames, movies, toys, fast food--more types of decadent trash than you can shake a stick at.

99 less 90 luftballoons

9 poster9 was a pretty dang good film, with bountiful amounts of imagination, adventure, and beauty.

yeah

we aren’t talking about that right now.

superman/batman: public enemies may very well have passed under many of the collective public’s radars (or sonars for those ocularly challenged readers listeners). i would imagine such is the fate of most direct-to-video productions, even those starring such american icons as the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader.

and sure, at just an hour(ish) long, it’s probably not worth buying, unless you sport a boner for the World’s Finest. i myself Netflick’d it, because, really, i can find better (deals) to spend $15(ish) dollars.

i was going to type “better things,” but that would be describing the quality of the film itself. the problem is the price, not the film. fifteen dollars is too much for an hour long movie. period.

for fifteen dollars i can buy fifteen cheeseburgers

think of all the fun i can have with fifteen cheeseburgers!

not 1
not 5

15!

anyway, superman/batman has many things going for it (which coincidentally, 9 doesn’t have): alert spoiler alert

  • superman!
  • batman!
  • lex luthor!
  • armageddon threatening kryptonite meteor!
  • composite superman batman gundam missile thingy!
  • captain marvel! hawkman! powergirl! manta ray! giganta! mister freeze!
  • GORILLA GRODD!!!

GORILLA GRODD!!!!

Gorilla Grodd once turned the Justice League into apes. that’s right, he had the most bad-ass evil plan ever and gave the world Gorilla Batman.

GORILLA BATMAN!!

What more do you want, Internet?
