Comic Book Villains (2002)

Comic Book Villains is a decent dark comedy. It’s consistently amusing without being gut-bustingly hilarious, the premise is good, and - for a change - it even makes enjoyed DJ Qualls enjoyable.

When old Mrs. Cresswell (Eileen Brennan) suddenly inherits an extensive and priceless comic book collection due to her son’s untimely death, news travels to two rival comic book owners. Raymond (Donal Logue) is in the business for the love of the characters and books, while Norman and Judy Link (Michael Rapaport and Natasha Lyonne) are in it only for the money. When a shady character named Carter (Cary Elwes) gets thrown in the mix, all Archie (DJ Qualls) can do is try to prevent it all from blowing up.

The two comic book stores constantly attempting to one-up each other in order to gain the favor of an old lady who doesn’t realize she is in the possession of a priceless collection is a premise that will instantly appeal to anyone who collects anything. We've all dreamed of stumbling upon the legendary motherlode. It's what you hope for every time you visit a flea market or garage sale. What if you actually found that treasure whose owner had no idea what they had? How far would you go to get it? What happens when someone else tries to snatch it from under your nose? Helping make this fun is writer/director James Robinson, who clearly knows his comic books. There are numerous, accurate references not everyone will catch.

You get a fair amount of laughs and the ending offers tension as the rivalry starts to get really out of hand. My only issue here is that the plot misses an opportunity to talk about comic books as something you enjoy for reasons other than money. The collection is a gold mine, not a rare piece of art. There’s nothing about the artwork or the emotional connection you might have to the stories.

Although Comic Book Villains can get to a point that's a bit excessively dark, I recommend it. This is not the kind of movie that you will easily find, or that will earn itself a fancy release anytime soon, but if you happen upon it, then yeah, go ahead. There are enough enjoyable moments in its 92 minute running time to make it worth your while. (On DVD, October 9, 2015)

Son of Batman (2014)

Do not get discouraged by the overly comic-book beginning of Son of Batman. It gets better from there and wraps itself up nicely.

The supervillain Deathstroke (voiced by Thomas Gibson) has killed Ra's Al Ghul in an attempt to take control of the League of Assassins. Two people stand in his wife, Ra's daughter, Talia Al-Ghul (Morena Baccarin), and her son, Damian Wayne (Stuart Allen). Talia leaves the boy in the care of his father, believing Batman/Bruce Wayne (Jason O'Mara) will keep him safe.

The beginning is where the film is at its weakest. Multiple scenes look good but don’t hold up under scrutiny. No matter how augmented or skilled, I never buy anyone blocking more than one or two bullets with a sword but apparently, no-name ninjas can block them like snowballs thrown in slow motion. Seems Superman's not the only one "faster than a speeding bullet". Until Batman shows up, there are multiple “What?” moments ranging from ninjas preferring ancient weapons to guns, objects who are quiet as long as they’re off-screen, and other action clichés that will make you wonder if Damian Wayne's first movie appearance will be a total bust.

Then, it starts getting good. You’re used to seeing Batman and Robin as partners, friends, and father/son. When the dynamic duo are actually related by blood, they can hardly stand each other. It’s the whole Dick Grayson thing flipped on its head. This Robin has all of the training already. It’s his attitude that needs to be tempered. That's good but what's beneath the surface is even better. You can tell Damian wants to be loved and that a piece of him is missing. He’s been trained to kill from the time he was old enough to walk. He’s never been a kid. He doesn’t even know what a kid is supposed to be like.

Under the Red Hood featured the kind of action that only animated films can deliver balanced with strong themes of guilt and a desire for redemption. The same applies here. Rather than get another appearance by the usual Arkham inmates like Two-Face and the Joker, we get Dr. Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat (voiced by Xander Berkeley) and it's a new interpretation of the character. That’s what fans want to see; interesting twists on the familiar material that keeps the essence of classic stories but find a way to remain fresh. The side characters are also utilized. Even familiar faces that have just a few lines (such as Nightwing or Alfred Pennyworth) leave a nice impact.

Aside from the opening act, the film's only other weakness is that this could've been more than just one movie. Why not adapt "Son of the Demon" to build up the complex relationship between Batman, Ra's, and Talia? There was no need to rush into it. Then again, this story does stand on its own so you may not share this sentiment.

Though the beginning of Son of Batman tries too hard to be awesome by throwing logic and physics out the window and Talia Al Ghul's design is overly and unnecessarily sexual, you'll be able to move past them. The film delivers the action, compelling story, and the human moments desired by those who have been following the direct-to-video DC Animated films. (On Blu-ray, April 9, 2015)
