The Flash Season 2: Zoom not revealed, 5 possibilities to Jay's Face Behind The Mask
The last episode of The Flash before the mid-mid season hiatus, Killer Shark made his return and Barry ran in water, along with leaving fans a shocking conclusion at the end of the episode. SPOILER ALERT: Zoom is revealed to have taken Jay Garrick's body back with him to Earth-2 after killing him in the breach. Along with Jay Garrick's confirmed body, Zoom removes his mask, showing that he has Jay's face as well. There has been much speculation as to who was under the mask since the introduction of the evil-speedster Zoom, but no clues have been given until now. However, the reveal of Jay's face being under the Zoom mask draws up more questions than it answers. We do have confirmation from showrruners Greg Berlanti and Geoff Johns, that Zoom is in fact Hunter Zolomon, but that still doesn't answer why he has Jay's face if Hunter Zolomon was on Earth-1 while Zoom(Hunter Zolomon) was on Earth-2. There is a bit of confusion in this because no other details were given by the showrunners of The Flash. But from the evidence provided so far in this season of The Flash, there are multiple possibilities for why Zoom has Jay Garrick/Hunter Zolomon's face.

Could Spider-Man find a home on a Netflix series with Daredevil or Luke Cage?
The most recent incarnation of Spider-Man will be brought to life on the big screen by means of Captain America: Civil War. Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland will make his first appearance in the MCU. This is an all new take on Spider-Man that comes from a grounded comic-book history; all the iconic aspects of Spider-Man/Peter Parker have been integrated into the MCU's version of Spider-Man. It was only recently that the first glimpse of Spider-Man was released in the medium of a trailer for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. Marvel is definitely intending to cement a place in the MCU for Peter Parker's Spider-Man so it's not likely he'll get bumped back to Sony's list of failed Marvel properties. Though Spider-Man finding a place in the MCU doesn't mean it isn't plausible for Spider-Man to appear in another MCU event or one of the many popular Netflix series being released. One Netflix series in particular would be a perfect fit for Spider-Man, and would definitely bring a new element to the series.

The Whole Bloody Lot: 5 More Comic Book Titles DC Should Give An R-Rated Adaptation
Cinema is finally tooling up for its bloody battle against the censors and comic book movies are finally leading toward their intended origins, while more and more R-rated films are sneaking into cinemas. Past mistakes like Spawn and Punisher are forgotten in a resurgence of wisecracking potty mouths and clawed Wolverines. While some #superhero films still limit their splashes of violence to final battle scenes or grisly origins, the pages that they come from are dripping with red ink. For too long we have been kept happy with Peter Parker for kids and Tony Stark's grinning face.

Four Super Powers Batman Should Get Now That He's Officially a Metahuman
Apparently, the long standing suspicions of Batman being a metahuman have come to light, in a manner of speaking. Those of us familiar with the Dark Knight know that he's never been enhanced in any way, he's simply pushed his body to be in peak physical condition, to where Batman seems almost superhuman. And while he's always given us the impression that he possesses abilities no one else is aware of, Bruce Wayne is just an average guy. However, that appears to have changed.

Are You Less of a Fan without the Comic Knowledge to Back It Up?
With the influx of comic book movies lately, it does seem to beg the question of "Do we need to start picking up the comics to get an idea of the characters?" When I saw the original The Avengers, I hadn't seen either Thor or Captain America, and it had been years since I saw the Hulk tie-in movie. It didn't make me confused, I was still able to enjoy the characters and the story, but there seems to be a stigmatism lately that you have to at least keep up with at least 4 different movies to go in and see one.
