Ranking Every Season of ARROW
The CW’s Arrow recently ended its eight-season run, in the aftermath of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. While not the longest-running superhero show, its legacy is still unparalleled. Not only did it increase the cultural impact of Green Arrow and his supporting cast, but it spawned a shared universe that consists of several ongoing shows. This culminated in Crisis on Infinite Earths, which used the Multiverse to connect countless DC shows and movies spanning decades. Now, with Oliver Queen‘s story finished, we wanted to look back at Arrow, season-by-season. Of course, not every season is on the same level of quality; some are good, some are great, some are…

5 Characters Who Can Replace Kate Kane as The CW’s Batwoman
A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Ruby Rose had exited from the lead role on The CW‘s Batwoman. The news was shocking, as the Arrowverse has never lost a series lead like this before. Multiple reasons were given as to why Rose left, but at the time, it was said that the role of Kate Kane will be recast. Despite that, recent reports have suggested that a new character will assume the mantle next season, rather than recasting Kane. While unconfirmed, it would make some sense. It would free the show of the risk of bringing in a new face for Kane for fans to get used to,…

Why Warner Bros. Should #ReleaseTheAyerCut of SUICIDE SQUAD
Recently, fans achieved a major victory when Warner Bros. finally confirmed plans to release Zack Snyder‘s version of Justice League. Dubbed Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the alternate cut of the movie will be released on HBO Max in 2021. With this victory under their belt, fans have turned to a new campaign for another DC movie: the director’s cut of Suicide Squad. While Suicide Squad was a financial hit in 2016, there is no secret that the studio tampered with director David Ayer‘s vision. Originally a darker comic book tale, WB pushed for reshoots to lighten the tone, in the wake of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice‘s poor reviews.…

5 Guest Characters We Want to See in MORTAL KOMBAT
In addition to its massive lineup of original characters, the Mortal Kombat series has added several guest players in recent games. They have pulled from various pop culture icons as seen in film and beyond. These have included the Predator, the Xenomorph, Spawn, Joker, Freddy Krueger, Terminator, and most recently, RoboCop.

Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK: APOKOLIPS WAR (2020)
Culminating a seven-year, 15-film animated journey that began with the release of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in 2013, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War finds Earth decimated after intergalactic tyrant Darkseid has devastated the Justice League in a poorly executed war by the DC Super Heroes. Now the remaining bastions of good – the Justice League, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad and assorted others – must regroup, strategize and take the war to Darkseid in order to save the planet and its surviving inhabitants. This is truly the war to end all wars, and only the victor will live to enjoy the spoils. Since 2013, Warner Bros. Animation has been building…

Why Henry Cavill Needs to Play Superman Again
DC‘s movie universe began in 2013 with the release of Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill as Superman. Since then, Cavill has reprised the role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, cementing him as one of the faces of the franchise. He was expected to star in more movies, but then doubt entered the picture. Justice League‘s sequels were cancelled, Shazam! had a headless Superman cameo, and even plans for another Superman standalone film were put on hold. In 2018, it was reported that Warner Bros. was moving away from Superman, and Cavill would not reprise the role. The actor has remained hopeful that he will…

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – But Should He?
So, recently my good friend Paul wrote a feature on why it’s okay for Batman to kill. It’s a great piece and shows both sides of the argument. However, I think we can go just a little bit deeper. Yes, Batman has killed villains and will, without a doubt, do it again soon, but should he? Finding The Bat’s Identity Batman has had a long 80-year comic book run and plenty of different adaptations by several writers. We should go back to the source. As Paul mentioned in the previous post, Batman killed in his first few appearances. The character was still new and was staying true to that pulp/gritty…

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – And That’s OK
It’s one of the most hotly debated issues in comic book history. It has broken the Internet, fractured friendships, and affected how people view fictional characters. I am, of course, talking about the discussions regarding Batman‘s “no-kill rule.” On the one hand, we have people who believe Batman shouldn’t kill in any situation, period. On the other hand, we have people who want Batman to kill his enemies. Both are valid viewpoints, but are either of them factual? Batman is a character who needs no introduction. He has existed in comics for over 80 years, and he has been adapted in countless films and television shows. This has led to…
