My inner child is shouting for joy...I just have dust in my eyes

I'm Batman...
I must say I have been a fan of comic heroes for as long as I can remember. The strength, power, courage and ability to make the hard decision.

Today Disney released a high-res image of the latest iteration of Spiderman for the greater MCU (Marvel Comic Universe). This is the third franchise to push this character in a different direction. 

All variants were a lot of fun and have pushed the limits of movie magic to promote Spidey powers. The last 17 years have given us 3 different spider men, 5 feature films spawning cartoon after cartoon which continues to captivate child audiences.

This latest Hollywood offering gives us yet another take of the suit and pays sweet homage to a mask with eyes that add an element of emotion to a previously emotion-less face.

If you can remember the follies of the Power Rangers and the cheesy acting down to communicate feelings by body language without the use of facial expressions. I marvel at the years the Power Rangers have been able to keep young audiences in rapture.

This is a new push within the superhero movie genre to reach a level of pure material integrity within live-action features. The success of Deadpool is a prime example of the pupil-less eyes and expressive eyebrows and facial acting.


Well done, Hollywood or should I say Marvel - and by Marvel, I mean Disney.
