We finish up the DC Graveyard by taking a trip back to Sector 2814 in the year 2011. Yes we are talking about Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern. It had all the hallmarks of being a huge success.

The Loser's 2010 was known at the time for that movie that's not The A-Team remake. Which isn't the only reason it appears in this series covering the DC Graveyard the other reason is because it didn't make enough money. That being said it's far from the worst thing we've looked at as of so far. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Video Edition ► https://youtu.be/pXFLhZu069...

Jonah Hex isn't very good. Despite an incredible cast it does absolutely nothing else right which makes it perfect for the DC Graveyard. Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender and John Malkovich could not save this from bombing both critically and commercially because...well yeah it's just not very good or interesting or fun or anything.

The DC Graveyard trundles along with what some might consider a surprising entry. Constantine 2005 has developed somewhat of a cult following over the years with many hoping that Keanu Reeves would return to the role. However it didn't do well enough to warrant any kind of follow up despite being a pretty solid supernatural superhero horror affair. Thanks for listening! SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://go...

We're kicking off this new batch of Caravan Of Garbage which we're going to refer to as the DC Graveyard. A failed batch of comic book propeties that were set to kick of a franchise or at the very least a sequel that ended up bombing either critically, commercially or both. First up is Catwoman 2004 an abysmal effort despite the best efforts of one Halle Berry. How did this happen? Who's the say....

The Twilight Saga rolls on into the god awful entry that is Breaking Dawn Part One. It's boring and weird and also gross. Why did they do this. There's a wedding between a one hundred plus year old man and a teenage girl and then a grown man falls in love with a baby. I mean they try to justify it will all sorts of werewolf and vampire lore but it just boils down to a horrible time at the movies....
