With the resurgence of vinyl, and many classic game soundtracks seeing a re-release on the format, the Flickering Myth writers look back at some of their favourites; next up is Robert Kojder with Silent Hill 2… “Silence is a sound” Akira Yamoaka Silent Hill 2 is the very definition of a masterpiece. The franchise is […]
Batman v Superman vs. The Dark Knight Rises: The importance of humanity in our superheroes
Anghus Houvouras on Batman v Superman vs. The Dark Knight Rises and the importance of humanity in our superheroes (spoilers follow)… My favorite sequence from any comic book movie is the final forty minutes of The Dark Knight Rises. This always strikes me as odd because overall the movie is kind of a mess. The same […]
Why Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is worth defending
Anghus Houvouras on why Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is worth defending… Superhero movies have become so stale. They’re still very much a staple of the pop culture landscape and as popular as ever, but the plots are lukewarm rehashes that all feel frighteningly similar. As a lifelong reader of comics, I’m painfully familiar […]
Everything that’s wrong with the Batman v Superman soundtrack
Sean Wilson examines the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice score – and why its relentlessly noisy nature is bad news for everyone… Now, I want to preface this piece by saying that I am a massive fan of Hans Zimmer, truly one of the most innovative and compelling forces in film music (when he […]

Countdown to Batman v Superman: In Defense of Man of Steel
Anghus Houvouras defends Man of Steel… Man of Steel is an incredibly polarizing film. A movie that made some dramatic changes to the character that have had fans debating Zack Snyder’s choices for almost three years. At the core of the debate is Superman’s lack of concern for the lives of innocence as he and […]
The Superman Films That Were Never Made
This week, Neil Calloway looks at Superman movies that were planned but never shot… When the Christopher Reeve fronted Superman films came to a juddering halt in 1987 it would be almost twenty years before Clark Kent made another appearance on the big screen. To be fair, between Superman IV: The Quest For Peace and […]
Countdown to Batman v Superman: DC: The New Frontier
Ricky Church continues his countdown to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with DC: The New Frontier… With a week to go until Batman v Superman is released in theatres, anticipation has been steadily building to see DC’s most famous heroes – Wonder Woman included – on the big screen. There’s a bit more to […]
Countdown to Batman v Superman: Should Batman Kill?
Anghus Houvouras on whether Batman should kill… Short answer: absolutely. I can’t think of a comic book character whose life has been more adversely affected by his perfectly tuned moral compass.
