Batman: Soul of the Dragon – Bringing a Little Bruce Lee to Bruce Wayne’s World

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Batman: Soul of the Dragon spoilers. The latest DC animated film Batman: Soul of the Dragon is a complete reimagining of the Dark Knight. It’s an out-of-continuity story, the kind of tale DC usually places under its Elseworlds banner. Set in the 1970s, Soul of the Dragon places Batman (David Giuntoli) as part of an ensemble of heroes, a collection of the top martial arts masters in the DC universe including Richard Dragon (Mark Dacascos), Lady Shiva (Kelly Hu), Ben Turner a.k.a. Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White), and O-Sensei (James Hong).  “It’s a weird movie in that…

How Batman: Soul of the Dragon Pays Homage to 70s Kung Fu and Bruce Lee

New DVD release, , ,
Batman: Soul of the Dragon sets Gotham’s caped crusader in a vintage martial arts homage. Directed by Sam Liu, who also directed the animated movie version of one of the greatest Batman graphic novels ever published, Batman: The Killing Joke, this is the 42nd project in the ongoing DC Universe Movies series. However, Soul of the Dragon is an original tale, not based on a precedent comic. Like the eye popping anime-style film Batman Ninja, this is a completely stand-alone story. Batman: Soul of the Dragon is yet another chapter in the many creation tales for Batman. It tells of…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Filming on Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated The Batman continues apace in the UK, and some new behind the scenes images have given fans a better look at the state of Gotham in the upcoming DC movie. Robert Pattinson, who stars as the Caped Crusader in the Year 2 film, is nowhere to be seen in the aerial pics, and neither are any of the other cast members. Instead, we’re given what is tantamount to an exterior set tour. Not that we’re complaining. In some of the images, you can see several Gotham buildings that seem to have been subjected to…

Letter to You Review: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Take Us Home

New DVD release, , , ,
One of the things that always impressed me about Bruce Springsteen is the melodic possibilities he can find in two-chord vamps. He doesn’t do it all the time, that would prove to be monotonous all night, but when he does it is a consistent affirmation of the power of rock and roll. It’s like he took every early inspiration which weaned him and plays their feel as if it were an instrument. Not the melodies, but what the melodies convey. The “stone and the gravel” in Springsteen’s voice may not be a suitable vehicle for the smooth vibratos of Drifters’…

Bruce Lee Forever! Shannon Lee Reflects on Her Father’s Legacy

New DVD release, , , , ,
Bruce Lee stands among the greatest icons on the planet. But such notoriety comes with a price and it’s one that Bruce pays more heavily than any other celebrity. He’s also the most ripped off. Brucesploitation is an entire genre of film dedicated to Bruce Lee impersonators. Bruce Lee clones proliferate fighting video games more than any other person, real or imagined. His image has been poached illegally for all sorts of random things like for Zhen Kungfu, a major Chinese fast food franchise with some 300 restaurants, all of which use his likeness without permission. No one else can…

Matt Reeves’ The Batman Movie Will Explore the Soul of Bruce Wayne

New DVD release, , , , ,
We still have to wait a little more than a year (if we’re lucky) to see a new vision of Batman make his way to the big screen. That’s when Robert Pattinson dons the cape and cowl in The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves. Reeves isn’t just directing The Batman, he also co-wrote the script with Mattson Tomlin. Den of Geek caught up with Tomlin to discuss the screenplay he wrote for Project Power, a superhero-esque action movie that arrives on Netflix later this week (you can read our full Project Power-centric interview with Tomlin here), and the writer gave…
