Welcome to the digital DC Universe.
Most Evil DC Villains of All Time
Don't get me wrong, superheroes are cool and all, but come on! Who doesn't love the bad guy? Villains have the most introspective and oftentimes interesting stories associated with them, and for good reason.

When Ben Affleck signed on to be a part of the DC Extended Universe, he became a pivotal cog in the entire production of the cinematic universe, not only as the next iteration of the Dark Knight himself. With a massive role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice the once-penned-sequel to Man of Steel, along with major production roles behind the camera as producer to Justice League and writer/director/star in his own solo film, Affleck seemed as though he was ascending into the upper echelon of Hollywood elites.

The DC Universe is a massive world, full of complex and iconic characters. Whether it's in DC movies, TV, or the original comics, DC has something for everybody — it's part of their mass appeal. They have so many popular and easily recognizable characters played by amazing actors, that when we see one pop up in our show unexpectedly we get understandably excited. People love the unexpected drop in of one of their most beloved heroes.
Bill ShaffirPublished 6 years ago in GeeksUnderstanding a Scene: 'Batman v Superman'
In 2016, Zack Snyder released Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (BVS), a follow-up to his 2013 Superman film, Man of Steel.BVS expanded the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), not only giving us a sequel to the Superman story that started in Man of Steel, but also introducing us to Snyder's reimagining of The Batman. To say the film has been divisive is an understatement. Some passionately love it, and others dislike the liberty that Snyder took with these characters. I personally love this film, I regard it as a cinematic masterpiece and feel more films should aspire to reach the level of depth, thematic, and visual storytelling Snyder was able to achieve. One scene stands out the most in the midst of all the criticism, the “Save Martha” sequence. Not only is that one of, if not the most pivotal scene in the film, it is also the turning point for both Batman and Superman and literally marks the Dawn of Justice.
Chris MunozPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe DCEU Has Failed
A couple of days ago, Henry Cavill, who you may know is the DC Extended Universe's Superman, agreed with a large block of fans that the DCEU has ultimately become a disappointment. In 2013, DC began its attempt to catch up to the monumental success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when they released Man of Steel. Now to be clear from the beginning, I'm a fan of both Marvel and DC Comics. Both franchises have so much to offer geeks the world over, and I was initially excited to see DC kick start its own film universe. However, Man of Steel failed to ignite true excitement among DC fans for a movie universe, and while the film in and of itself was enjoyable, it was to be the beginning of a struggling project that would, in my view, ultimately fail.
The One True GeekologyPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Overvoid Monitor
Literature is a creation of the human intelligence, a formulation of eminent genius, a construct of reality through the progressing of story. Comic book fiction is a storyboard, imprinted on the blank page, that attempts to create reality; behind illustration, balloons, words, and inking, the process of imagination takes place, through which is granted a window into the real, that which exists, and an insight into its history. Inherently, the comic book is an experience into mythology, it adeptly brings together the pseudo-scientific and the religious, the mystical and the metaphysical in a universe of possibility, a multiverse in fact, that determines the primary law that is the foundation of all existence: all that exists is a story that is created, evolving, and in the process of design. Art transcends the story into the mythical, the mythological, the expression of the will to power hidden in a natural force that seeks to dominate and extend its rule over its environment — the cosmos. Is that then the purpose of all life: to rule, to dominate, and perhaps to attain to an omnipotence that is really the desire for personality revealed in its universality and its exactness of thought?

It was nice to hear that all of the DCTV shows on the CW Network had been renewed. It was a little concerning to hear that they were developing brand new ones. These shows are so busy that I worry about them stretching the over-arching creative teams too far.

Every time I see a white person yell, “That’s not canon!” over a new twist on an old comic book hero my “mug o’ tears” gets a little fuller. When Zendaya was cast as MJ in Spiderman: Homecoming, so many comic book fans cried over the portrayal of a historically white character by a brown skinned actress. “MJ has red hair!” “MJ can’t be black!” and so on could be found all over the comic book fan forums. Meanwhile, POC finally got a chance to be represented as a main character in a classic comic book hero’s story.
