Nemo: Heart of Ice 
by Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill ; Top Shelf Productions, Knockabout Comics
Tony Keen — 12-Apr-13
Nemo: Heart of Ice is still an Alan Moore comic, and that’s still pretty good. But it’s not Moore at the absolute top of his game.

The Dark Knight Rises (another view) 
by Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, David S. Goyer ; Legendary Pictures, DC Comics, Syncopy Pictures
Tony Keen — 18-Aug-12
Against the standards Nolan has set himself, Dark Knight Rises doesn’t rise far enough, and must be considered the least of the trilogy, and the worst of all of Nolan’s movies. The problem is that he has said everything he wants to say about Batman in Batman Begins and Dark Knight, and, especially in the latter movie, set the bar very high for himself, and left himself with nowhere to go. Dark Knight redefined what could be achieved in the superhero genre. Dark Knight Rises is merely a good example of that genre, and that’s no longer really good enough.
