comics
From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
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.

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.

Let’s start at the beginning, many years on the Planet Krypton lived scientists named Jor-El and his brother Zor-El. Jor-El had a wife named Lara Lor-Van and a son — Kal-El also known as Superman. 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. When Kal-El crashed onto Earth and was found by The Clarks, and they raised him, little did they know that he has powers. 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.

Sarah PocockPublished 4 years ago in GeeksTo Marvel and DC: Superhero Cinema needs reinventing
Superhero Cinema is undoubtedly one of the most popular film genres today, with both Marvel and DC producing many billion dollar blockbusters. One of the films in the catalogue, you must certainly know, became the highest grossing film of all time. So, what’s my problem? No, I’m not obsessed with Scorsese, and the prolixity of his films. I don’t think superhero movies are like ‘amusement parks’. I actually think they’re brilliant. So, again, what’s my problem? It’s what I like to call, ‘Hollywood Syndrome’: the habit of retreading old ground over and over again, with sequels, spin-offs, and reboots.
