The evolution of Bat-girl
Bat-girl beginnings Bat-girl was birthed through DC comics as the female superheroine counterpart to Batman. She was introduced in 1961 as Betty Kane by Sheldon Moldoff and Bill Finger. In 1967Betty was replaced by Barbara Gordon who eventually became identified as Batgirl, without the hyphen. This character made her entrance in DC Comics #359, The million dollar debut of Batgirl, in January 1967.

May 5 saw the release of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, the final installment of the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) that was created as a result of the events in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. The fifteenth film in the series, Apokolips War feels like the culmination of seven years of animated storytelling. It incorporates members of the teams whom fans have followed in this universe: Justice League, Justice League Dark, Suicide Squad, and Teen Titans.

Probably one of the most well known comic book items, even among those who don’t frequent comic books. Kryptonite; it's a song, an analogy, but more importantly it's Superman’s only known weakness, at least green Kryptonite is his weakness. Kryptonite takes many forms in the comics, some of which we get to see play out on screen in the form of Smallville (the best Superman adaptation that exists I don’t care). With all the changes DC comics has gone through and the many colors Krytonite can take form in, all causing different effects, it can get confusing keeping them straight or even knowing what all of them are. So here we go, here is where we break down all the colors and effects of Kryptonite…
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Watchmen (TV Series)
I've been a fan of the Watchmen since my younger brother had introduced me to the book when I was in my early 20's. Until that time I always thought superhero comics were just about men in tights trying to save the world. This is the first comic that changed my thought of what comics could be. It had a whole slew of dimension to each of the characters.

Die-hard fans know of Batman's stringent no kill rule. Time and time again you will hear fans quick to mention this, when skeptics ask why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker. They are vocal with the films as well, when Batman kills under the likes of Tim Burton and Zack Snyder. Christopher Nolan reassures these same fans when Batman asserts that he will not take a life. However, Batman was not originally born with this moralistic view of not killing his enemies. Believe it or not, in his first year of publication of Year One as some Bat-fans may want to call it, he has something of a lucrative body count.
Remember The Original Catwoman?
Everyone remembers the first time they saw Catwoman. The baby boomers most likely remember Julie Newmar or Eartha Kitt from the sixties Batman television show. Later on, their kids probably remember Michelle Pfieffer’s from Batman Returns or her incarnation in Batman: The Animated Series. Today's generation may think of Anne Hathaway from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. All of these make up the general, mainstream depiction of Catwoman...at least outside of the comics. We can discuss all of the differences with these various depictions of Catwoman. Yet, we can all agree on their base, surface level similarities of a costumed attire, athletic prowess and ableness to go toe-to-toe with the Batman. What if in her first ever story Catwoman was nothing like that? Oddly, it is true but do not let that detract you.
Looking Back at The Joker's Debut
The Joker first debuted in April 1940 in Batman #1. In fact, this was roughly a year after the Dark Knight’s debut in Detective Comics #27. Believe or not, The Joker first’s appearance has gone on to define the character for years to come and not come off as a one-time event. Numerous stories would go on to take some inspiration from Batman’s first foray with The Clown Prince of Crime.
3 DC Villains Who Need A Solo Movie
Whilst not everyone was a fan of Joker, you can not ignore the new avenues it has opened up for the Superhero genre. Here we have three villains that we believe make strong contenders for DC’s next villain solo outing.
The One True GeekologyPublished 4 years ago in GeeksBirds of Prey - The Fight For Control
Detective Renee Montoya hardly has it easy in Birds of Prey. Historically speaking the character has always come from a place of adversity. Here we have a female, Latina cop mind you. Traditionally, the police are a male dominated career group. Add Latina and gay to this, you have a recipe for trouble for Detective Montoya. Already, Latina women make roughly 60 cents for every dollar a white male is paid. Fall back on gender stereotypes and age-old racism, Latina women do not clean up crime, they clean your house, office and or room. What is Montoya looking for?
Superman/Batman

Zor-El had a wife named Alura Zor-El and Daughter named Kara Zor-el also known as Supergirl. The planet of Krypton was on the verge of destruction when Jor-el and Zor-El sent their children to Earth.

After being stuck in the Phantom Zone — His cousin Kara arrives a few years later to be raised by The Danvers, a family of scientists who helped Kal-El control his powers.
Maelisha KahlbaumPublished 4 years ago in GeeksArrow
I want to talk about how the last ever episode of arrow aired and how emotional it was considering the arrow is not necessarily known for being and emotional show. Arrow`s last episode aired on the 28th January 2020 and the director of the episode James Bamford did the hole 8 season justice. The episode was written by Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz and they wrote the best possible ending that they could have done for arrow. Arrow has been on the CW network since 2012 this means the show has been running for 8 years, and the fans have loved every minute.
Sarah PocockPublished 4 years ago in GeeksWhy Batman is a Violent, Narcissistic Villain
Everybody loves Batman. Men want to be him, people of a variety of genders and sexual identities want to date him, because quite frankly, why wouldn't they? Batman is tall, rich, got a company worth a gazillion dollars, and an English butler! He literally has it all. He is everything we hope to be, and everything we hope to obtain. The irony being, just like most of us have an inability to appreciate what we have sometimes, Batman, or Bruce Wayne rather, depressingly broods like an angsty teenager.
