It's one of the four names you just read Need a hint? The name rhymes with "Alan Moore." By[...]

That's why I can't understand why some folks are losing their collective shit when it comes to what Alan Moore had to say about superhero films By extension, we're lumping superhero television/streaming series into that mix, too (but maybe I'm wrong, and Alan's a huge "Arrowverse" or HBO Max's Harley Quinn fan?) and viewers during[...]

Sometimes you can see what they were going for and what went wrong. Alan Moore begins our Midjourney, first with a request for the man full stop, and then for a more detailed realistic version I think the original comes closer.
