Why Ben Affleck Is the Best Batman...So Far
Why Ben Affleck’s Batman might be the most important Batman EVER… I fully understand that the title of this piece alone is extremely devisive but hear me out. This is a Batman we have not seen on the big screen until now, and a lot of has to do with the creators giving Batman a universe in which to work. To better put that in perspective, let's first look at the versions of the caped crusader that have graced the theatres.

'Infinity War': Who Will Die!!
INFINITY WAR!!!! This movie will be released in my local cinema on the 26th of April this year, and you can be assured I will be going to see it. The end of an era that has been building and building from the original Iron Man film that aired in 2008. I, with many other marvel fans have been waiting ten years to see the climax of the marvel cinematic universe phase three. The time has come for the big purple dude to come in to the universe as more than a side villain and wreak havoc on the world. Our beloved avengers must team up with Spiderman, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to save the world. But the Mad Titan will not be defeated easily, he will take some of our heroes with him (if he is even defeated that is!).

'Doctor Strange 2' Might Not Be Happening
We've all seen the latest Infinity War trailer, which shows an ominous picture of the Sorcerer Supreme in some very serious trouble. While I, like most fans, suspected this to be just a tease and there's no way they would kill off such a character so soon after their initial introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Benedict Cumberbatch, there may not necessarily be a Doctor Strange sequel in the near future.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ - Trailer Review
Wow. Just wow. I love a good trailer, but this takes the cake for excitement. Marvel have got us truly in the dark about the plotline of the film; yes we have the hint here and there but not enough to guess what will happen... WHICH IS GOOD! I’M LOOKING AT YOU, DC!

Lazy or Brilliant
Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, King Arthur, and Luke Skywalker… what do all of these characters have in common? If you guessed silly sounding names, you are… half right. The other thing they have in common are dead parents. Yes, one or more of the parental figures that made these characters has met an untimely demise and it’s a storytelling trope that’s as old as written literature, but we can expand that since in many cases the death of the parental figure wasn’t exactly what it seemed to be; we'll call that the “Dead from a certain point of view” clause in order for this discussion to move forward.

Let’s Discuss... 'Arrow' Season 5’s Downfalls.
Now to make this clear from the beginning: I loved Arrow Season 5. Was it my favourite season? No. Season 2 will always take that top spot, but this season was up there. My own quarrel? It didn’t go as far as it could have.

Top 5 Picks for Nightwing Movie
The last few DC films have not been good! That is the most common reviews I see about films such as Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad. Unlike most people I talk to, I actually enjoyed all of those films. I realise they have their flaws, but I think they are good stories with bad writing. However with the recent success of Wonder Woman scoring a 7.5 rating on IMDb and 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad which scored in the low sixes on IMDb and 27 percent and 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes respectively. I believe there is hope for the DCEU with some good writing and directing.

Predicting Who Will Be Exiting During the 'Avengers 3 & 4'
As we all know, Infinity War will mark the beginning of the end for the current iteration of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. After comment after comment from people involved in the making of the next two 'Avengers' installments, it is pretty apparent that the Mad Titan himself, Thanos, played by the multi-Marvel character playing Josh Brolin, will be throwing some of the team six feet under.

The Saddest Superhero Origin Stories in Comic Book History
Not all superheroes have the most joyous origins; in fact, most initializing storylines in the superhero genre tend to be pretty dark and desolate, but for good reason. While the hero in question may often find themselves bestowed or gifted with unimaginable strengths and power, these unique qualities typically come with an unruly price. But the origin story of a hero shouldn’t be a diminishing factor for their overall heroics; it’s only intended to shape and mold that character’s being.

Strangest Marvel Superheroes Ever Made
The Marvel Comics Universe is one of the largest, most expansive fictional worlds ever to be created—and it's full of amazing stories and rich characters. That's why we love Marvel comics, and why so many people rave about Guardians of the Galaxy.

Save Me In Time
As the cool heat of the liquid hit my lips, I replay events that continuously flash through my mind. My body barely ached, as a matter of fact, it never does. But I’m constantly putting it through the ringer day in and day out, giving myself this impression that I’m never truly present, a notion that leaves me feeling like I’m always on the run, always on the move. I get so mentally exhausted and run down by these thoughts. But I know it’s no use feeling this way, especially when I’m the only one in my city who can save it. Slamming a guy here, choking another guy there, throwing a car half a football field away from a small child. All of this to just hide away when it’s all over. I whine incessantly, but I know this is the way it has to be. The safest way is for me to coexist with the people who don’t know me, because I’ve seen what happens to those who save others. The one time you let them down they never forget it, and they never forget you for it. It turns into a love-hate relationship, and not one that is back and forth, no. It’s one where half of them love you, and understand, but the other half? You can never make things right again. Never.
