As the Spideyverse expands and #Sony gears up for its #Venom solo-film, the internet is abuzz about which other #SpiderMan rogues could come crawling out of the Ravencroft Institute and onto our screens. We already know the studios are planning Black Cat and Silver Sable films, but it seems that the current Spider-Man would like to see somebody else join the "hunt."

If you've ever read a comic book; heck if you've ever heard the words comic book or superhero then you probably know about Superman. He's been the proverbial talking point for decades as one of the most powerful beings in both Marvel and DC's respective universes. Superman is from the distant, now destroyed, planet known as Krypton and he was sent to Earth as a child in order to escape the destruction of the planet. He survived the trip and was found by a farming couple in Kansas - the Kent family. He was raised by the Kents as their son, Clark, and eventually learned of his heritage and the incredible powers that he possessed. We all know the rest of the story, but what you may not know is that he has a cousin who also traveled through space to reach Earth.

Captain America is basically the pillar of all that is good, right, just and moral. He is the epitome of American patriotism, and soon enough, we're set to see Captain America face his closest allies in Captain America: Civil War when it hits theater screens this May. Chris Evans has portrayed our beloved Captain since 2011, and he has brought life to one of the greatest characters in Marvel Comics.

Wonder Woman is a character that truly needs no introduction, but I'll give her one anyway. Wonder Woman is one of the founding characters of DC Comics. She is almost as widely known and loved as both Batman and Superman - some would even say that she could be the more popular of the three pillars of DC Comics. Wonder Woman first hit the comic book pages in 1941, and in the last 75 years, she has evolved like many pop-culture icons as she's been re-imagined to reflect the culture of the time. Yet, through all of her changes, she's always been one of the strongest characters, and one of the most positive role models for every generation.

Whether you're a Marvel Cinematic or DC Extended Universe fan, you can probably all agree that watching our beloved characters hit the big screen is truly wonderful. While some of these movies have drastically different endings to what we'd expected to see, what's even better than a great ending is knowing that there was an alternate ending that would have completely changed the movie we love so much. Since we all love knowing little secrets about movies, below are five alternate endings you hopefully didn't already know about.

Audiences Got Sick Of Origin Stories, But Can The DCEU Make Us Love Them Again?
There's a reason why Marvel introduced Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War without showing us the radioactive spider bite, Uncle Ben's death and so on: we'd already seen it twice in a decade. Same goes for Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, whom we met as a veteran crimefighter, not as a rookie like in Batman Begins. There have been so many superhero origin stories filmed in recent years, and audiences started to sense a formula.

This morning I was inspired by a post on the Facebook Creators Group, and it went a little something like this: If you're ever having a bad day, just remember: Tom Cruise could have been Ironman, Dane Cook could have been Captain America, Nicolas Cage could have been Superman, Edward Norton could have been Wolvering and more George Clooney Batman films were planned. The world we live in isn't as bad as it could be. - Jacob Craig

Since Smallville ended in 2011, fans have looked to movies to get their Superman fix. Excerpt for a four-year break between 1997 and 2001, a live action version of Superman has been on our television screens since 1993. With Tyler Hoechlin taking on the iconic role in Supergirl, we'll soon be offered new glimpses of the Man of Steel, but will it be enough to satisfy die-hard fans?
Rachel CarringtonPublished 6 years ago in GeeksNightwing? Red Hood? Who's Next For DC TV?
DC has done incredibly well in recent years with their characters jumping into television series. We've seen Arrow fire the first shot and show off what’s possible for a DC hero to attain on television, we’ve witnessed the speed in which The Flash has gained a freaky fan following and we’ve also seen the power of Supergirl as she made her debut on television. Everyone is talking about what Marvel has done with comic book characters on Netflix, and rightfully so. Marvel has created a connected universe of characters, and it looks to be incredibly promising over the next few years, yet by no means is DC playing second fiddle to Marvel.
