Jon Kent; The True Tragic Hero of 'Man of Steel'
There are a few problems with the Man of Steel movie. Many that have been hashed and rehashed at ad nauseam. There is one that I feel needs to be looked at a little more closely. That is the adaptation of Jon Kent as a character. Jon is Clark’s adoptive human father and the pillar of morals in Clark’s life. Jon Kent was nothing more than a normal, red blooded, average American man, trying to raise his alien son and help him to become the hero that we all know and love.

DC Universe's Supersons – Vol. 1
From the very moment I opened the comic to the first page, I was hooked. Initially, I came across Supersons because of the YouTube channel ComicsExplained. I highly recommend it for any and everyone who's interested in both Marvel and DC universes. That aside, the story of Supersons centers around Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent, sons of our favorite heroes Batman and Superman.

Batman v. Superman's Islamaphobic Message
For the record, I wouldn't be discussing this film if I didn't think there was anything new to say about it. Removing myself from the hordes on both sides, arguing as to whether this a good or bad film — although I decidedly resign myself to the latter — I want to address ultimate failing of this adaptation. However, in order to do that, we must address why other films of the same genre have resonated with us before after. Films such as Iron Man (2008), The Dark Knight (2008) and Logan (2017).

MCU vs. DCEU: Why DC Movies Are More Important Than Marvel Movies
Nine years and 15 movies into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Films have sought to cash in on this idea. So far they have released four movies in an effort to move forward with their own ideas of a shared universe. To say they’ve gotten off to a rocky start would be an understatement, and comparing them to Marvel Studios only highlights this claim. Specifically, all but the most recent film in the DC Extended Universe have garnered harsh criticism from both fans and critics, while Marvel, who’ve earned criticism as well, have been accepted as the studio putting out great movies. Despite the flak, however, DC Films has already made more money with their first four films than Marvel Studios made with their first five. This is with Wonder Woman still in theaters.

The DC Extended Universe Movies Have Been (Mostly) Fine
With the recent release of Wonder Woman, it appears as if the public as a whole is warming up to the DC Extended Universe. Here we have a film that has not only embraced and beautifully demonstrated an empowering female character, but it has also seemingly started a restoration; it is the first movie so far in the DCEU that is critically acclaimed while also creating a sense of awe, and more importantly intrigue, in the minds of the consumers. The financial success has always been there for them, but that's always been despite the reviews, not because of them. The creative individuals behind Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad have just not been able to get the momentum going.

Wonder Woman Was A Success, But What's Next For DC?
Wonder Woman opened this past weekend with a weekend gross of $103 Million and a worldwide gross of $228 Million. The first female-lead superhero movie to accomplish this feat. It is also the first DCEU movie to receive positive reviews. Let's face it, the start of the DCEU has had its critics and Wonder Woman is the soft reboot it needed to survive because if this movie failed the DCEU would be dead in the water. Now that Wonder Woman was a box office and critical success, DC and Warner Bros. need to keep the momentum going with Justice League coming out in November. But does DC or Warner Bros. have a clear cut plan going forward?
