“I Want Pictures Of Spider-Man!” 7 Actors Who Could Be The New J. Jonah Jameson
He is an integral part of Spider-Man’s comic book world; a beloved presence in the Sam Raimi movies (played by J K Simmons), sorely missed in the Marc Webb adaptations, and the subject of memes aplenty, but alas, we were greeted with the news earlier this week that Simmons is to enter the DC Extended Universe as Commissioner Gordon, meaning that he is unlikely to return to harangue "that wall-crawling menace."

William Marston, 'Wonder Woman' & Bondage
The origin of Wonder Woman is not your typical tale and needs to be told. In today’s society, women’s rights, value, and strengths are rightly accepted to be equal to men. In the 1940s the idea of a strong, confident, sexual woman was not an image readily promoted in society. William Moulton Marston's vision of a new Amazonian comic book character changed all of that with the creation of Wonder Woman.

Matthew Vaughn's Vision for 'Man Of Steel 2' Makes the Original Sound Like Bizarro World
From the polarizing Man of Steel to the universally acclaimed Wonder Woman, the DCEU has certainly been a mixed bag, with one of the biggest criticisms being the gloomy, brooding depiction of Superman. While he died in #BatmanVSuperman, we know that Kal-El makes an appearance in #JusticeLeague and there will be a sequel to #ManOfSteel coming afterwards.

Barry chose to occupy the prison, leaving Central City in the capable hands of his team and Kid Flash. His return will be a big part of the season premiere, but could a new image of his new costume offer some plot details for the coming season?

Christopher Reeve's Transition from Clark Kent to Superman Just Went Viral — So How Do the Modern Supermen Compare?
From all-American hero to mild-mannered reporter, there are two distinct personalities to Superman. In order to keep the world from putting the pieces together and working out his identity, Kal-El needs to project some difference between the two. While on the surface, it looks like he simply changes his clothes and removes his glasses, it's actually so much more.

'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Concept Art Shows How Peter Almost Got Killed — by the Parker Luck
There's a certain element of Spider-Man's character that was highlighted in Spider-Man: Homecoming more than any other Spidey film: his youth and his famously rotten luck. From Peter's face-planting while web-slinging to his failed attempt to kiss Liz after saving his classmates at the Washington Monument — and ultimately, his realization of her father's identity — it was classic "Parker Luck."
