Haphazard Stuff's Superhero Series

John Clark provides an ongoing review series of thoughts and observations from a fellow Superhero Fan that will examine ‘The Great’, ‘The Good’, ‘The Forgetable’ and ‘The Downright Embarassing’. And maybe even highlight some obscure film that most haven’t even heard of.
