DC Universe
Welcome to the digital DC Universe.
Arrowverse, Week 1 Impressions
It was nice to hear that all of the DCTV shows on the CW Network had been renewed. It was a little concerning to hear that they were developing brand new ones. These shows are so busy that I worry about them stretching the over-arching creative teams too far.

Comic Heroes and Racism
Every time I see a white person yell, “That’s not canon!” over a new twist on an old comic book hero my “mug o’ tears” gets a little fuller. When Zendaya was cast as MJ in Spiderman: Homecoming, so many comic book fans cried over the portrayal of a historically white character by a brown skinned actress. “MJ has red hair!” “MJ can’t be black!” and so on could be found all over the comic book fan forums. Meanwhile, POC finally got a chance to be represented as a main character in a classic comic book hero’s story.

Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad was one of the most talked about and hyped about films in 2016. With superhero franchises and crossovers on the rise in cinema, it's very easy to see why. The film is about a team of dangerously crazy villains completing missions under the direction of Amanda Walker in exchange for reduced prison sentences and privileges. Before we get fully started on this review, I feel that I should say that I have not read any of the Suicide Squad comics, but I do know some of the characters from DC Comics. I saw it twice in the cinema and seen it several times with friends at home.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
It's been almost a year and a half since Zack Snyder brought the world's two most famous superheroes, Batman and Superman, together on the big screen for the first time ever in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it seems that even now, the film is still the subject of fiery debates between its many critics and supporters. There seems to be little middle ground when it comes to this film; people seem to either vehemently hate it or believe it to be a masterpiece within the comic book film genre. Since it premiered in theaters on March 25th of last year, critics have been outspoken about the many flaws they consider the film to have, some of which have merit and others which point to a complete misunderstanding of the film's major themes and overall message.

If that is the case then you’ll be very aware of the disparity in quality that exists between the two cinematic universes.

Is The Joker the Greatest Villain in Comic Books?
If you ask the average person who the best villain is in the world of comic books they will likely all answer with the same name, The Joker. He is a juggernaut on both the printed page and the big screen, garnering more attention than any other baddie that has come before or after him. But is he truly the greatest villain in all of comics?
