Welcome to the digital DC Universe.
'Joker's' Wave of Madness
Dear Readers. I believe you all had seen Joker by now. And even if you haven’t, shame on you. I hope this is enough of an incentive to see the film. The entire film, I meant. Since I’ve heard people were walking out of the theater without finishing it. You are all better than that. And without any further ado, spoilers ahead, of course.

At the weekend I rewatched Wonder Woman, and not only was I (again) surprised how good this movie is, but also what this movie teaches us. It’s so inspiring and interesting when you notice the little life lessons during a story.

From 2010 to 2013, Young Justice and its second season Young Justice: Invasion aired on Cartoon Network. When it got cancelled, DC fans were outraged. Including me, as I perceive Young Justice as the best DC animated show, what with its compelling character arcs and its skillful juggling of many characters from DC Comics. When it was on Netflix, fans streamed the show over and over in hopes that the show would come back. And their efforts were not in vain, as the show got revived for the DC Universe streaming service. Sometimes, shows get cancelled and never revived. Other times, shows are revived with subpar quality. But Young Justice: Outsiders is, thankfully, an instance where the revival maintains excellent quality. Plus, the show got renewed for a fourth season!

DC cosmology is made up of a pantheon of gods, cosmic beings, space patrol police officers, superheroes, and alien species. Within this DC Universe, as defined by the DC comics relaunchDC Rebirth, stands the Source at the edge of the DC Universe, beyond the Source Wall. It lies at the edge of the Promethean Galaxy behind the Source Wall, which is ornate with the mummified statues of great beings that have attempted to breach the Source Wall.

Aside from Aquaman, Shazam, and Wonder Woman, the DCEU has been largely looked down upon by critics worldwide. Those same critics have been filled with praise for Marvel films. With Marvel now having had over a decade of both critical and box office success, I believe that DC's experiments will render their next phase more complete than ever before.
Kenneth BelliveauPublished 5 years ago in GeeksDoes 'Gotham' Prove That 'Batman' Can Work as a Live-Action Show?
Many people have compared the actors who have played Batman in live-action films. And just recently, fans have been debating whether or not Robert Pattinson is a good choice for Matt Reeves' The Batman. But one topic that has never really been debated is live-action Batman actors on television. The reason for this is that there has pretty much only been one: Adam West.
Steven ShinderPublished 5 years ago in GeeksDC's Next Phase?
It is not a surprise or even debatable that DC has a lot of catching up to when it comes to movies. Marvel's well organized and cinematic universe has proved to be extremely successful and with DC's foot in the door with movies like Wonder Woman and Shazam, there is a lot of potential with DC's next phase of movies as long as they plan everything right. Here are some comic book heroes that could and should be part of the DC Extended Universe.

Batman: Hush is the latest installment in the DC Animated Movies Universe, which resulted from time travel depicted at the end of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, and began properly with Justice League: War. This universe started out as mostly an adaptation of The New 52 relaunch of DC Comics. But over the last couple of years, it has incorporated adaptations of older DC stories, including Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, The Death of Superman, and Reign of the Supermen, all of which are re-contextualized, so that they fit within the timeline of this universe.
Steven ShinderPublished 5 years ago in GeeksBat Out of Shell - A Review of 'Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a direct-to-video animated film based on the Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover comic series released by DC and IDW from December 2015 to May 2016. Crossovers can end up feeling silly, and this comic book crossover seemed like it could easily fall into that category. However, the properties meshed very well, and the animated adaptation follows suit.

Patrick OuandjiPublished 5 years ago in GeeksThe Superhero, Part of a Global National Strategy
Superman appeared in the pages of "Action Comics #1" in 1938 spearheading a literary genre that would grab the hearts of millions for generations to come. The superhero genre was in a sense, an affirmation at first of America's immigrant spirit as Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster exemplified in their Jewish immigrant fight for notoriety and novelty attempting for five years to get their character published in a major newspaper as a comic strip. The authors of the famed character read pulp science-fiction and adventure magazines which were a major influence on their creation of the character. Superman, originally conceived by the authors as a villain, created him as a hero with an alien origin in order to answer the thirst for the sensational and "sell papers." This is where the superhero genre differs from the mythology of yesteryear: the comic book functions as modern mythology whose primary purpose it is to entertain and not to teach. Science-fiction has thus the formative element in advanced cultures to entertain the audience and provide a mythology that serves the purpose of wish fulfillment and fantasy, and not the primary moral and religious nature of the Old Gods.
Patrick OuandjiPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Wild C.A.T.S': Worthy of the Silver Screen?
DC is reviving one of the dopest, most underrated comic superhero teams out there, and I want all of the smoke that comes with it. Jim Lee deciding to bring WildC.A.T.S. out of mothballs to spearhead a re-imagining of the entire WildStorm Comic Universe in a limited collection got me thinking about how the original Image iteration of the WildC.A.T.S. would translate to the big screen. A couple of things need to be clarified before we explore this fan topic any further.1) THIS cheesy representation of the comic CANNOT be the first thing in folks minds IF a movie re-make is thought about (the show opening IS pretty dope, though).
