DC v. DC: Why Has WB Created Two Universes?
When The Avengers came out in 2012, it was clear that DC had quite a ways to catch up when it came to assembling their own team in a cinematic Justice League. With Man of Steel coming out the following year, I was intrigued to see what they would do.

Fan Cast: Marvel's Missing International Heroes--Union Jack, Spider-woman & More
We all know about the Avengers, and now the rest of the world knows about them too, particularly since the fallout from Age of Ultron. So, when are we going to see more of the non-American heroes that Marvel has to offer, like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch? I know... Black Widow is technically international, but she calls SHIELD family, so I don't count her, per se. What's with the continued lack of diversity? And who the heck are these heroes in the first place? Well, here are some quality international Marvel characters that we could see the Avengers bumping into (or even joining forces with) in the future.

Atomic Blonde: A Review
I'm gonna say it right off the bat, you'll all probably hate me for it, but I'm gonna say it anyway; I don't much care for James McAvoy. There. I said it. It's out on the internet now, and there's nothing I can do to change things. But luckily, James McAvoy isn't the central focus of this film, the central focus here, and rightly so, is the magnificent Charlize Theron. She's playing a kick-ass MI6 Agent sent to Berlin around the time of the fall of the Berlin wall to investigate a rogue agent and locate a secret dossier that puts the lives of all MI6 agents at risk.

Could THAT Villain Be in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
There are already a ton of rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Homecoming, including Michael Keaton being eyed for the role of Vulture. As much as I can imagine that being a great choice, I was hoping we wouldn't see another guy with mechanical wings (a la Falcon). Those of you that are following me know how much I love speculating on future villains for the MCU and Spider-man, so how could I pass up another opportunity?

Return of the Fantastic Four?
Many fans thought it would never happen, but with Sony and Marvel making their deal to share the movie rights to Spider-Man, we now have Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now the doors are wide open for the rest of Marvel's (former) properties to do the same, particularly when it comes to characters that haven't been handled well...

Who Came First? The Copycats of Comics
For all the so-called rivalry between these two comic worlds (and I say so-called, because there isn't one), there does seem to be a lot of crossover/similarities between the two. My question is which came first and who has copied the other more often? Let's take a closer look at some famously similar characters.
