In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Cube Critics Jacob Aloi and Aron Woldeslassie discuss an animated version of the Man of Steel and a new Batman series in a superhero-themed episode of Cube Critics. Up, up and away!
‘My Adventures With Superman’
This week, I dove into the first two episodes of the new season of “My Adventures with Superman,” an animated series that explores Superman’s early days as a budding journalist and an emerging superhero.
Season two builds on the foundations laid in the first season, with Clark Kent already donning his iconic suit and dating Lois Lane. This season promises to dive deeper into his dual life, exploring challenges in the newsroom alongside villains he must confront.
A standout aspect of this series is its portrayal of Superman’s ideals — truth, justice and the American way — which contrasts with his adversaries, notably the government. Amanda Waller and Task Force X are introduced as early antagonists, setting up intriguing conflicts as Superman navigates his role in a society where the government's actions may not always align with the public's best interests.
Produced by the acclaimed Studio Mir from South Korea, “My Adventures with Superman'“ offers nostalgic appeal and fresh dynamics. The animation is vibrant, the storytelling engaging and the series skillfully balances action with ethical dilemmas. Available for streaming on Max.

‘Batman: The Caped Crusader’
If you’re looking for a superhero story that blends mystery and a more subdued atmosphere, “Batman: The Caped Crusader” on Amazon is a perfect choice. This series, consisting of 10 episodes, represents a thrilling return to form for die-hard Batman fans and draws a direct line back to the revered 1992 “Batman: The Animated Series.”
Created by Bruce Timm, who was instrumental in shaping the DC animated universe many of us grew up with, “Batman: The Caped Crusader” revisits the iconic character during his first year of crime-fighting in Gotham.
The series marries the clean-cut noir aesthetic of the original animated series with a fresh pacing and an intriguingly strange energy that only a limited series can offer. With just 10 episodes, each installment introduces characters and explores interactions with Batman in a manner that feels both nostalgic and novel.
