FEATURE: Five Shows We Want To See On DC Universe
With Doom Patrol now airing on DC’s streaming service, I thought to myself what other properties would be a great fit for the DC Universe streaming service? I really do believe that superhero-properties fits better as TV-shows due to the serialized nature of the comic books. These are five shows we want on DCU! Justice League Dark This feels like a no-brainer to me, the short-lived Constantine series on NBC was really good in my opinion but sadly NBC cancelled it after just one season. The CW however retroactively weaved in Matt Ryan’s version of Constantine into the Arrowverse. With shorter seasons and a bigger budget, I really think that…

Ben Affleck – The Batman We Deserved
I have been an avid Batman-fan since the 1990’s. I remember watching Batman: The Animated Series and it’s subsequent spin-offs. There was really no live-action incarnation of the Caped Crusader that matched what I experienced on that show. It was a perfect blend of action, detective-stuff and pretty mature (for the time) drama. Then along came the (Joel) Schumacher-era of Batman movies; they ranged from okay to absolute garbage. Then we had the Nolan-era with Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. And even though Christopher Nolan took more of a, lets say grounded and realistic approach. It was missing some of the more fantastical elements from…

History of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
2019 marks the 35th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The fearsome foursome has been kicking shell for three decades. Today, we’re going to be taking a look back at their long and unorthodox history. The Comics The TMNT made their comic debut in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 in May of 1984. Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the Ninja Turtles served as a parody of the comics that came before. You can see the influence the New Mutants and Daredevil had on the TMNT. Daredevil fights the Hand, the Ninja Turtles fight the Foot, Daredevil’s master is Stick, the Ninja Turtles master is Splinter. They also…

OPINION: Why Carrie Fisher was Irreplaceable as Leia Organa Solo
There’s been some back and forth over Carrie Fisher‘s last appearance in Star Wars: Episode IX. Many people don’t think she should have been present, while others suggested a recast or even a CGI digital recreation, like in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Ultimately, Todd Fisher (her brother) and Billie Jo Fisher (her daughter) agreed to allow Lucasfilm to use unseen footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Episode IX. This was ultimately done in order to fulfill the original intention for the episode, to give Carrie “her” movie. Episode VII was Harrison Ford‘s movie, Episode VIII was Mark Hamill‘s movie, and Episode IX was supposed to be Carrie’s. This has been confirmed from many…

5 Characters We Need in Young Justice: Outsiders
Young Justice has a huge cast of characters, but one of the best parts of the series is how they have different teams working together. Enough though we’ve had dozens of young heroes in the past, there are still a few more that we would love to see. Here are the five characters we want to see in Young Justice: Outsiders! 5. Damian Wayne (Robin) The first season of Young Justice starts with Dick Grayson, the first Robin. Jason Todd dies in between season one and two, and Tim Drake is Robin is season two. It would make perfect sense for the third season to feature the third Robin. Damian Wayne…

Why Aquaman is Actually One of DC’s Best Characters
Aquaman has been one of DC’s most prominent heroes throughout its history. He has been the King of Atlantis, a founding member of the Justice League, and a defender of the Earth. Despite this, Aquaman has been frequently seen as a joke among the mainstream audience. Whether it’s the bright orange costume or his ability to talk to fish, a lot of people just don’t take him seriously. Well, I personally have been a fan of Aquaman forever. I always thought that he was a fascinating character. In fact, he’s one of my favorite characters in the DC Universe. Here, I will break down why I believe that. He’s a…

Why Mera was Needed in the DC Universe
There are plenty of female heroes in the world of DC, such as Hawkgirl, Black Canary, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and the Batwomen. And all of those heroes are phenomenal in their right. I love DC with all my heart and soul, flaws and all. To tell a story properly, a film must fill out the character with a backstory. Otherwise, they remain hollow, empty and unendearing. That was an extreme problem with Justice League. The film didn’t have time to flesh out all of its wonderful characters. It is tough to accomplish such a story with an ensemble cast and relegate the “whys,” and the ”hows” into short interludes, giving the bare…

Five Predictions for The CW’s CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
Following this year’s Elseworlds, The CW is prepping for its biggest Arrowverse crossover yet in 2019’s Crisis on Infinite Earths.

FEATURE: 10 Characters We Want to See on The CW’s BATWOMAN
Batwoman is the latest major DC hero to join The CW’s Arrowverse. After her debut in the “Elseworlds” crossover event, Ruby Rose’s Kate Kane is expected to return in her own solo series. Not much is known about the potential show, except that it would follow Batwoman’s adventures in Gotham. Every Arrowverse show has featured plenty of iconic DC heroes, and it is only natural for Batwoman to follow suit. Here, we list 10 characters that we hope to see in the spinoff series. Anarky Lonnie Machin was a recurring villain on Arrow‘s fourth season, originally a henchman for Damien Darhk and later an enemy of both him and Green…
