FEATURE: Five Actors Who Should Be Considered to Replace Ben Affleck as Batman
For a while, there has been some back-and-forth on whether or not Ben Affleck will play Batman again after Justice League. Originally, he sounded enthusiastic about it, but more recently has cooled down on the idea. The latest report suggests that Affleck will appear in Flashpoint, but director Matt Reeves wants to cast a new actor for The Batman. It’s been speculated that the change in actors will take place in Flashpoint, as it’s been reported that Warner Bros. will explain Affleck’s exit in an upcoming movie (something Affleck himself is interested in). Basically, it looks like Affleck’s days as Batman are numbered. It’s unclear if Reeves wants to cast…

FEATURE: The 10 Most Powerful Members of the JUSTICE LEAGUE
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia We all know that the Justice League is the greatest superhero team in all of comics, but just how powerful are they? Today, we will be looking at the 10 of the most powerful Justice League members. This is based on the characters sheer power; meaning heroes who rely on gadgets won’t be on this list (we still love you, Batman). Also, characters such as the Green Lanterns are being excluded from the list. The Lantern Corp would take up the entire list, and that’s just not fair, is it? So, without further ado, let’s begin! 10. Aquaman Arthur Curry is the king of Atlantis, and…

FEATURE: Why Lois Lane Deserves a Solo Movie
The year is 2013; the movie, Man of Steel. As Krypton breathes its dying breaths, an alien craft approaches Kansas, its special cargo safely inside. As the fireball approaches Earth, the scene SMASHS to… Zod’s arrival, a Daily Planet staff gobsmacked, and a star reporter who alone can track down the hero Earth needs. Or at least, that’s what could have been, if only Man of Steel was a Lois Lane film. Amy Adams’ approach to Lois was refreshing, and what the movie does with her character is great. When we meet Lois, she’s on assignment in the arctic, covering the discovery of an object beneath the ice. Clark saves…

Anyway, we’ve looked back for long enough! It’s time to look forward. Let’s ponder possibilities for a Wonder Woman Sequel and what better way to do that than by looking into…

Now we’ll be taking a look at the 6 things we want to see in season 3. There will be spoilers, proceed with caution. 6. More Nightwing Dick Grayson is one of the main members of The Team; some might even say he’s the main character of the show. In season 2 Nightwing was the leader of the team and was a main focus, but he somehow still felt underutilised. He rarely left the cave and only had a couple of…

Below, I have ranked the ten upcoming DCEU movies, from my least to most anticipated. This is all based on my personal opinions about each film so far. Note: We will be going over the DC movies that have been officially dated by Warner Bros. So movies like Man of Steel…
