The Strange and Grim World of Batman's Psyche
Before 1986, Batman has been portrayed as a happy-go-lucky crime fighting hero. However, after 1986, Batman was revamped. In the newer, re-constructed version of Batman, he is given a broader range of emotions and depth. This idea of a grimmer, darker Batman, rose after Neal Adams left DC comics, thus having Dennis O’Neil step in and change the concept of Batman as a whole. “There Is No Hope in Crime Alley,” from Detective Comics #457 (March 1976) is an example, for the story, illustrated by Dick Giordano, showed a side of Batman no one had really experienced. It showed that Batman has a lingering and haunting memory of the street where his parents were murdered, and showed Batman’s obsession and psychological trauma that stayed with him all these years. In fact, Robert “Bob” Kane, the creator of Batman, wanted to paint Batman as a psychologically disturbed hero, thus, creating an alter ego for Bruce Wayne known as Batman. By the day, he is Bruce Wayne, a wealthy playboy who is the CEO of a wealthy enterprise; and by the night he is the masked vigilante. As Batman continued to help Gotham City, the mid 1980’s was a primetime for writers like Frank Miller to show Batman’s “darker side.” O’Neil even once said, “Look at Dracula, squint a bit, and you see the Batman,” hinting that Batman’s gothic and darker style somehow resembled that of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Diana Prince has the best job ever! No, I am not talking about her kickass activity as Wonder Woman. I am talking about her "day job" as an art historian at the Louvre Museum.
María M. ZieglerPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThere's No Martha in This Batman v Superman Pokemon Battle
The #DCEU ultimate titan fight between the Dark Knight and Superman was like a bad '70s swingers party, with Martha squeezed between steel and leather for all the wrong reasons. Cartoon Hooligans have thrown their talented balls into this heated stand off by creating an imaginative cartoon that has this competitive bromance go toe-to-toe in the world of Pokemon. Finally, we get to see once and for all who the definitive Pokemon DC master truly is.
'Arrow': It Looks Like Those Island Flashbacks Aren't Finished After All
Arrow just finished a killer season on May 24th, and fans expected the next season to have a totally different structure than everything that's come before. Specifically, as executive producer Marc Guggenheim told Digital Spy, the creative team had "basically made a collective decision that Season 5 would be the final year of flashbacks."

[Spoilers for the New 52 Harley Quinn comics. You have been warned.] This Valentine's Day hit the DC Comic love life hard. While Harley Quinn has spent her recent time away from the Joker and is making her own life, as well as having a non-monogamous relationship with Poison Ivy, there is no denying that the fans still hold a candle for her to be with the Clown Prince who made her into the woman she is today.

Before we begin I would just like to pay my respects to Zack Snyder and I hope he and his family members are coping as best they can at this time.

I've always liked the Green Lantern character, but even I can't always complete the famous oath that the Lantern Corp has uttered over their nearly 70 years in the comics. Outside of the brief hiatus in the early '50s, the Green Lantern has been one of the most consistent DC Comics publications.

The One True GeekologyPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe 7 Must See DC Animated Movies to Watch Before the Live-Action 'Justice League'
When DC started making live-action feature films the world was wowed. Then it seemed that the genre took a turn for the worse as we were given two reasons why nobody cared about live-action superheroes anymore.

In "Lisa the Vegetarian," the Simpsons take a trip to Storytown Village where they witness one poorly created childhood story after another. When watching the wolf pitifully fail to blow the three little pig's house down, Homer utters an apt line for most of what life is these days, while everyone else has an unimpressed face, "It was good, not great."

Well, the moment that diehard DC Comics fans have eagerly awaited most of their lives finally arrived this past week with the release of the feverishly anticipated Justice League film. The fans knew that the stakes were high; everything would be riding on the success or failure of the first ever cinematic team up of DC's greatest heroes, but the critical and commercial success of this past summer's Wonder Woman, the first ever film of its kind and the first film in the DCEU with a deliberately lighter, more inspirational tone than previous films, buoyed people's hope that the DC's cinematic universe was finally on the right track with audiences.

Despite the success of Wonder Woman, a new DC film string brings a whole heap of nerves from me, the audience and its hardcore fans.
