My New Book, Not All Supermen: Sexism, Toxic Masculinity, and the Complex History of Superheroes, Is Coming July 15!

Sometimes you come up with a title that sticks in your brain for so long that you’ve just got to write the dang book. Three years ago, I was trying to fall asleep and was thinking about superheroes, as I am often wont to do, and the title “Not All Supermen” popped into my head.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Review – Wonder Woman Steals the Show from the Angsty Boys

I’ve been wary of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from the get-go, having gotten burned by director Zack Snyder with the mess that was Man of Steel. From the moment it was announced, I’ve greeted the film with caution and snark. However, here’s my deep dark secret: I REALLY wanted this movie to be

Wonder Woman and Superman got together a few years back in Justice League #12, and not much good has come of it since. They launched their own series in which Wonder Woman has played a constant second fiddle role and, with all the drama Superman’s been going through from the Doomsday virus to his identity
