Here is where you’ll find all my innermost thoughts on the latest twists and turns in the worlds of storytelling. Not just thoughts, though. This isn’t a website for whinging. We are a people of solutions, so you’ll find those here as well.
How to fix the Batman: Arkham franchise, where Cinematic Universes are going wrong and how to course correct, it’s all here.
