I’m aware of Monkey and Journey to the West story in broad strokes but I’ve never seen any filmed adaptation. I was curious but skeptical about this Netflix animation so I decided to give it go. The film is about … Continue reading
Batman vs TMNT is what happens when a million zillion ninjas of the Foot Clan descend on Gotham. Batman joins forces with the turtles to fight Shredder and Ra’s Al Ghul’s fiendish plot… which has something to do with the … Continue reading
