From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
Superhero Therapy
'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' released in 2016 with much original excitement and anticipation. There was a sense that this was going to be a major blockbuster for DC Entertainment, a resounding success. Of course, reality turned out to be completely different. Still, the movie went on to gross more than $873 million worldwide.

So for the next few posts we're going to speak about the people that have been Captain America over the years! You can expect to see some familiar faces and some... not-so-familiar faces as we go through the coming lists. You'd be surprised how many people have claimed the mantle of Captain America. The reason that we are not covering all of the characters in one post is because there are so many of them. Let's get started.

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.
Marvel Team-Ups
Marvel has been around for quite a while and with time, comes new ideas, new characters, and new team-ups. The Avengers, SHIELD, The Sinister Six, the X-Men, X-Force, all teams that are well known within the Marvel comic book universe. But there were many team ups that go overlooked or at the very least underrated.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 4 years ago in GeeksLooking 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.

There is no arguing that Marvel is one of the biggest comic book publishers in the world. They are a powerhouse when it comes to telling extraordinary tales of heroes and villains.

Halden MilePublished 4 years ago in GeeksCaptain Marvel v Scarlet Witch
Okay so we know that I am a very bitter person especially when it comes to debates about whose more powerful...literally name any hero vs Scarlet Witch, the answer more often than not for anyone with a shred of common sense is Scarlet Witch. But I thought I’d try to appeal to the rest of you with logic and reason...I will preface this with, we haven’t seen very much of Captain Marvel and I am aware that she will play a bigger part in phase 4, however so will Scarlet Witch so my statements at the end of this article stand.
