A couple of years ago I wrote about my top five live-action superhero costumes. One of the costumes on that list was the cape/skirt/tights/thigh high boots combo worn by Melissa Benoit on the television series Supergirl. After seeing some images of her in the costume recently, I’ve been doing an awful lot of daydreaming about … Continue reading Looking Super
Monday morning check-in: yup, can confirm, still wolfish for Margot Robbie. To help satisfy our collective Monday munchies, let’s enjoy these appetizing shots of Margot as Harley Quinn, from Suicide Squad (2016). That movie gets slammed a lot, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it, for several reasons—I even wrote about it for … Continue reading Margot Monday
One of these days I’m going to turn more of this blog’s attention to the 1960s Batman television show.

While it recouped its budget at the box office, the film was a major letdown for critics … Continue reading From the Vault: Superman III (at 40)
When lifelong comic book fans get together they are prone to go down rabbit holes, like, “Name the best X-Men artists of all time” or, “Give me your best Batman stories ever.” I’m as guilty as any comics geek when it comes to this tendency to go list-crazy. Recently I was thinking about a comics … Continue reading Super Threads: Five Best Live-Action Super Costumes
I can find tributes or homages to Michelle Pfeiffer anywhere, of course, but even non-obsessives must’ve noticed the similarities between Kristen Wiig’s Barbara Minerva in Wonder Woman 1984 and Michelle’s Selina Kyle in Batman Returns. Both women transform from meek and mousy into ferocious feline predators, Selina as Catwoman and Barbara as Cheetah. Hair plays … Continue reading Feline Fatales
