Captain Comics is the Web site for syndicated comic book columnist Andrew A. Smith.  While his site is a bit cluttered, his column is good — written in an accessible way for comic book fans and non-comic book fans alike and never descends into that scary fanboyish territory that most comic book “journalism” does.  While mostly focused on the mainstream, Smith does cover a broad range, even dipping into related animation and film.  His columns where he answers readers’ questions can be hit or miss, depending on the topics, but the writing is always solid.

Besides his weekly column, Smith has good standing content about topics from silly superhero costumes to the Comics Code of the Authority.  His Web site — and column — is worthy read.

Michael Caine may serve Caped Crusader

While I do think everything about a new Batman movie will come down to the script and the producers’ desire to do justice to the material and not just make money, I do feel that pulling together good actors will help bring a level of respectability to the project.
