4 Ways The Joker's Story Is Better In The 'Suicide Squad' Official Novel
Believe it or not, it's now been a year since we received the extended cut of Suicide Squad. While some fans were satisfied, others are still a bit peeved over the lack of screen time for Jared Leto's version of the Joker. If you're one of those fans who are still feeling like you wanted more from Suicide Squad, it might be time for you to hop onto Amazon and pick up a book that will no doubt fill in a lot of gaps. Longtime DC Comics writer Marv Wolfman adapted Suicide Squad director David Ayer's original script to give us "Suicide Squad: The Official Movie Novelization." And yes, it is better than either version of the movie.

'Suicide Squad' Mistakes: Did Continuity Errors Damage Harley Quinn?
Harley Quinn is no doubt one of the brightest stars in Suicide Squad. As a character, she's manipulative, funny, psychotic, and unpredictable ... which is exactly how Harley should be. Margot Robbie really knocked it out of the park with her performance as the former psychiatrist turned criminal sidekick.

Movie Review: 'Justice League'
The problem with Justice League and the problem with the entirety of the DC cinematic universe is the vision of Zach Snyder. I realize that laying the blame for what many perceive as a significant failure on one person is a little unfair, but hear me out. I like the movies that Zach Snyder has made in this universe. I like Justice League but the fact of the matter, for me, is that these movies fail to transcend into being truly great movies because Zach Snyder isn’t a great director, just a pretty good one.

Batman Could Hang Up the Cowl After 'Justice League'
When Ben Affleck signed on to be a part of the DC Extended Universe, he became a pivotal cog in the entire production of the cinematic universe, not only as the next iteration of the Dark Knight himself. With a massive role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice the once-penned-sequel to Man of Steel, along with major production roles behind the camera as producer to Justice League and writer/director/star in his own solo film, Affleck seemed as though he was ascending into the upper echelon of Hollywood elites.

Greatest Cameos in DC Universe TV Shows
The DC Universe is a massive world, full of complex and iconic characters. Whether it's in DC movies, TV, or the original comics, DC has something for everybody — it's part of their mass appeal. They have so many popular and easily recognizable characters played by amazing actors, that when we see one pop up in our show unexpectedly we get understandably excited. People love the unexpected drop in of one of their most beloved heroes.

Understanding a Scene: 'Batman v Superman'
In 2016, Zack Snyder released Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (BVS), a follow-up to his 2013 Superman film, Man of Steel.BVS expanded the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), not only giving us a sequel to the Superman story that started in Man of Steel, but also introducing us to Snyder's reimagining of The Batman. To say the film has been divisive is an understatement. Some passionately love it, and others dislike the liberty that Snyder took with these characters. I personally love this film, I regard it as a cinematic masterpiece and feel more films should aspire to reach the level of depth, thematic, and visual storytelling Snyder was able to achieve. One scene stands out the most in the midst of all the criticism, the “Save Martha” sequence. Not only is that one of, if not the most pivotal scene in the film, it is also the turning point for both Batman and Superman and literally marks the Dawn of Justice.

The DCEU Has Failed
A couple of days ago, Henry Cavill, who you may know is the DC Extended Universe's Superman, agreed with a large block of fans that the DCEU has ultimately become a disappointment. In 2013, DC began its attempt to catch up to the monumental success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when they released Man of Steel. Now to be clear from the beginning, I'm a fan of both Marvel and DC Comics. Both franchises have so much to offer geeks the world over, and I was initially excited to see DC kick start its own film universe. However, Man of Steel failed to ignite true excitement among DC fans for a movie universe, and while the film in and of itself was enjoyable, it was to be the beginning of a struggling project that would, in my view, ultimately fail.

The Overvoid Monitor
Literature is a creation of the human intelligence, a formulation of eminent genius, a construct of reality through the progressing of story. Comic book fiction is a storyboard, imprinted on the blank page, that attempts to create reality; behind illustration, balloons, words, and inking, the process of imagination takes place, through which is granted a window into the real, that which exists, and an insight into its history. Inherently, the comic book is an experience into mythology, it adeptly brings together the pseudo-scientific and the religious, the mystical and the metaphysical in a universe of possibility, a multiverse in fact, that determines the primary law that is the foundation of all existence: all that exists is a story that is created, evolving, and in the process of design. Art transcends the story into the mythical, the mythological, the expression of the will to power hidden in a natural force that seeks to dominate and extend its rule over its environment — the cosmos. Is that then the purpose of all life: to rule, to dominate, and perhaps to attain to an omnipotence that is really the desire for personality revealed in its universality and its exactness of thought?
