Which Robin Will Appear in the DCEU’s “The Batman” and Nightwing’s Solo Movie?
After years of pining and hoping and waiting, and two failed attempts by director Joel Schumacher at portraying his Batman’s #Robin, and one barely decent, half-assed attempt by #ChristopherNolan at coming up with an unnecessarily fake copy-Robin, we’re FINALLY getting a live-action film about the much-celebrated former Flying Grayson himself—not his arrogant, dreadfully snarky, or bad fanfiction version, but Richard “the acrobat” Grayson himself—courtesy of Warner Bros. and confirmed director Chris McKay (who is known for his fantastic work directing “Lego Batman”). This #DCEU iteration of #DickGrayson will come packaged as Batman’s equal rather than his sidekick, as his most beloved, post-Robin, #Blüdhaven-prowling, alter-ego #Nightwing.

Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies: Take 2
Recently, @derricklweston and I have been podcasting about the MCU over at The Gospel According to Marvel, and through each episode we've keep bringing up how we need to update our ranking of the MCU movies (particularly the newest ones to come out). So, here I am, to share my thoughts; I want to read your comments and rebuttal, as I rank the current MCU. Some of these have stayed in their original place while others have been rearranged since rewatching. Remember, I base these ratings subjectively as movies (and not based on their comic book adherence).

It's Fantasy Football Season: 4 Shows To Help You Prepare
The season of Fantasy Football is quickly approaching. I play in about 6 fantasy leagues every year, and one league in particular is composed of several co-workers and we're already talking about the upcoming season and planning for the draft. We're checking stats and planning our strategy for the upcoming draft day. I'm probably the most devoted Fantasy player in my leagues because every year I compile all the stats from previous years and turn it all into a manageable database that looks at everything from Touchdown/Interception Ratio for Quarterbacks to Team Changes and the impact of a new role. I then take all that data and turn it into Pivot Tables to narrow down specific data to compare against similar players and teams. It's a very detailed process for me, and it's honestly my favorite time of the year.

How Mary Jane's MCU Debut Could Be Inspired By the Comics
Zendaya's rumored casting as Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man: Homecoming has caused quite a stir online. A number of fans have vocally expressed their discontent at casting an actress who doesn't look like the traditional Mary Jane Watson. The truly staggering thing about this outcry against her is the fact that her casting is still only a rumor. Yes, I do know that in the past movie studios have said an actor is playing one character when in fact they are playing another; Benedict Cumberbatch playing "John Harrison" had nobody fooled. But, until we see the film, we will be told she is playing a character by the name of Michelle.

5 Characters We May Never See in the MCU
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to succeed and is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. We have already been introduced to a huge number of characters, and upcoming films promise to introduce even more into the vast tapestry that is the MCU. The upcoming Avengers: Infinity War will reportedly have 67 characters taking part which will most likely mean EVERY character they have introduced so far will feature in some way (with some possible exceptions). Juggling all of these characters will probably be a Herculean task, but if it works out, it could prove to be the MCU's masterpiece.
