FEATURE: Five Storylines We’d Love to See Adapted in the DCEU
With the DC Extended Universe nearly upon us, now is a prime time to look forward and speculate on what stories these films may mine from the vast history of DC Comics. Below, there is a list of five stories which would be excellent choices to adapt in future DCEU films. 5. The Court Of Owls Precious little is known about the inevitable Batman DCEU solo film. As such, it is currently unknown which, if any, of the numerous Batman comic storylines screenwriters Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns intend to adapt.

Villainy Incorporated: Five Villains for WONDER WOMAN
As part of our celebration of Batman v Superman, we turn our attention towards the future of DC Films and Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot has a long journey in front of her as she films her first solo film and will shift right into production of Justice League Part One come April but she doesn’t have to do it alone. After all, a heroine is only as good as her villains and so the other day Paul dragged me out of my Patty Spivot shrine, slapped me around and tasked me with coming up with five villains to face off with the Princess of Themyscira on the Silver Screen. Now,…

FEATURE: Five Villains We’d Love to See in MAN OF STEEL 2
Back in 2014, Warner Bros. confirmed that a standalone sequel to Man of Steel was in the works, with a release by 2020 promised. Little else is known about the movie, but rumors suggest that he could team up with Supergirl to take on Brainiac and Bizarro. But when the movie does come together, who should be the villain? Superman has a slew of iconic enemies who deserve the big screen treatment. Only a small handful of these characters – Lex Luthor, General Zod, etc. – have been adapted to film. But the DC Extended Universe will change that, with Superman villains like Doomsday on the way. Below, I’ve compiled…

FEATURE: Ten Characters Who Should Join the Justice League in the DC Extended Universe
In the DC Extended Universe, the lineup for the Justice League (so far) is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg. The team will unite in next year’s Justice League Part One, while Justice League Part Two is already scheduled for a 2019 release. Green Lantern will join the team in one or both of these films, while Black Canary is a rumored addition. Of course, however, the sky is the limit for other additions. Over the past few decades, countless superheroes in the DC Universe were members of the Justice League. It would be great to see at least some of these join Batman, Superman, etc. in…

It’s Day 2 of Watchtower Of Babel’s 25 Days Of Batman v Superman. Yesterday we kicked off this event with a ranked list of Batman’s big screen outings, and now it’s only natural to continue with a look at Superman’s films.

THE PEOPLE!” -Superman After two…

Did the New BATMAN V SUPERMAN Trailer Really “Spoil” Everything?
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has received a lot of push-back since its announcement. First, people didn’t like the concept. “Why would Batman and Superman fight? Superman would totally destroy Batman?” Then there was the casting decisions, specifically Ben Affleck as Batman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Then there’s the complaints of it being overly grimdark compared to Marvel movies. Thanks to the trailers, most of those complaints have since been settled, but created a new one: “They ruined everything.” Upon watching the newest trailer, many have complained that the whole thing is just a condensed outline of the movie. We get the first act: Clark Kent, Bruce…
