DC Universe
Welcome to the digital DC Universe.
'Justice League'
I have heard so many negative reviews about Justice League that I was putting off watching it. Was it going to be a horrifying disappointment that would make me want to walk away from the DCEU like some people have suggested? Well, after giving into temptation, I can honestly say that, no, it was not horrifically terrible or world breakingly bad. So let's get into it.

Connecting Superman to Scripture
Over the years, the character of Superman has been a variety of things to many people of all walks of life, but when you boil down his character traits and look at what his specific role is, not just in the DC universe, but in general, you see a very familiar pattern.

Let’s Discuss... 'Arrow' Season 5’s Downfalls.
Now to make this clear from the beginning: I loved Arrow Season 5. Was it my favourite season? No. Season 2 will always take that top spot, but this season was up there. My own quarrel? It didn’t go as far as it could have.

Top 5 Picks for Nightwing Movie
The last few DC films have not been good! That is the most common reviews I see about films such as Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad. Unlike most people I talk to, I actually enjoyed all of those films. I realise they have their flaws, but I think they are good stories with bad writing. However with the recent success of Wonder Woman scoring a 7.5 rating on IMDb and 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad which scored in the low sixes on IMDb and 27 percent and 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes respectively. I believe there is hope for the DCEU with some good writing and directing.

The Number One Reason the DCEU Is Not Failing
Ever since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (BVS: DoJ) released in theaters to jump-start the future films of the DCEU, fans on both sides of the comic book divide have been going back and forth about whether the DC Comics' recent post-Dark Knight Trilogy films are good or bad. Yes, Man of Steel came out first and technically began the franchise known today as the DCEU, but the whole "controversy" of fans vs critics began with Batman vs Superman.

How Justice League’s Gravely Misguided Interpretation and Application of 'Show, Don’t Tell' in Dialogue Distances the Audience from Its Characters
Justice League's release marked the christening of the namesake group of heroes on the big screen; the kind of cinematic event pure childhood wonder, larger-than-life fantasies, and whimsical role-play are made of. Usually. For a $300 million comic-book extravaganza—painted by many a skeptic as THE crucible of no return for WB's sprawling movie universe— whose primordial concern was supposed to be convincingly re-affirming its brand's struggling reputation to a new generation of audiences, this film sure takes viewers for granted. To better understand why, we must take a contextual look at what came before it.

Batwoman!
For many a superhero fan, there are a plethora of choices for your own personal favourite, be it The Flash, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, or anyone else from the DC/Marvel universe (not to mention other companies). As a woman, it was always going to be an easy thing to find yourself identifying on a level with the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, or even Hawk-girl. However, if you chose to identify with a secondary (no less important), female character, there were few people you could pick without bumping into a character mainly shown as a male hero's romantic interest.

'Justice League' Review
The film that I have been waiting for since I was 4. Hell, I didn't even know about the Avengers until I was 7, so the JLA was my number one in terms of superhero team ups. I grew up watching the Justice League Animated Series so seeing it brought to life brings the little kid out of me.
