Clayface - A Very Dark Origin Story of One of Batman's Villains

After playing in Indonesian cinemas for almost a week, my wife and I finally got the chance to see this movie yesterday. We were on holiday last week and just returned on Saturday night, so no time to see the film as we were busy with other things. Yesterday was also the Cinema Day in Indonesia with all cinema chains giving discount to their studios and lots of people seem to take advantage of it. Anyway, I'll just get on with the movie then.

(TV SERIES) Lanterns - A Much Grounded Series of Green Lantern with Emphasis on Two of Its Members and Their Personal Struggle

After weeks of reading the positive feedback on this series, I finally started watching two days ago and finished it last night. If you have read my previous posts, you would know that I only wanted to start watching when the finale is already or would be available and this one had its final episode released on Monday night. OK then, I'll just get on with it.

Q TV series, Trainspotting etc) was adamant that Hal and John not to be involved, though it went on deaf ears.

Supergirl - Not The Most Spectacular Superhero Movie but Still Pretty Decent and Entertaining Introduction to Superman's Cousin

I was looking forward to see this movie for the past few weeks but it was such a big challenge. Ever since its advance ticket sale last week, I wanted to buy tickets for its premier date but it did not play in my favorite cinema for watching blockbuster movie. When it played there on the following day, I could not go because of previous engagement. Sadly the cinema did not play the film anymore when I was finally available yesterday. So I decided to just see it in the theater near our home with my wife. OK without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Kara Zol-El aka Supergirl (Milly Alcock - House of the Dragon TV series, The School etc) had been going through phase in life where she did not feel happy and just drinking herself across galaxies in places where she could get drunk. This made her cousin Clark Kent/Superman (David Corenswet - Look Both Ways, We Own This City mini series etc) always felt worried about her. One day she met a young girl named Ruthye (Eve Ridley - Emerald TV series etc) who was trying to get revenge on group of space pirates called Brigands led by the vicious Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts - The Old Guard, Django TV series etc). Despite her reluctance to be involved, it became personal for Kara when Krem did an unexpected thing. 

(TV SERIES) Creature Commandos Season 1 - A Wonderfully Written Animated Series Focusing on the Weird Metahuman Team from DC Comics

I have been meaning to give this series a try from the time it was released end of last year. But as I was waiting for it to be completed and busy with finishing other series, this became a bit of my least priority. However when it was mentioned that the last Superman movie had a bit of connection with the series, I wanted to revisit it. Last night, I finally set aside my time to watch the whole season on HBO Max. OK, let's just get to it then.

Blue Beetle - A Surprisingly Delightful Origin Story of a Lesser Known Superhero

The news about this movie had been circulating around for quite some time but because I was not familiar with the name, it did not get me too excited. However, seeing it was another superhero movie, I still went ahead and see it during the weekend as I was not free when it was released in midweek. OK, I'll get right to it then.
