To this point, it seems like the producers of Gotham have deliberately kept a number of major villains somewhat distant from Bruce Wayne, most likely in an effort to assure that he doesn't actually encounter them until he's become Batman. As such, they often war amongst each other, or are taken down by James Gordon.
Like some of you reading this, I was surprised to learn last week that Warner Bros. are looking to develop a Supergirl movie, primarily due to the fact that the character also headlines a TV show that's about to begin its fourth season. Then again, if the film and television divisions can lay claim to their own distinct versions of the Flash and Superman, then I guess we can have two Kara Zor-Els coexisting.
If you’re even remotely familiar with the Batman mythos, then you’re well aware of how the Dark Knight and his allies boast what is arguably the deepest rogues gallery in all of comics. Fortunately for fans of animation and the Gotham TV series, we’ve seen many of the villains making it up, yet the film franchise hasn’t really gotten past the usual suspects.
Since the turn of the century, there've been a number of writers to have come through the door at Marvel Comics, but even fewer who've left a definitive mark and been regarded as the more quintessential scribes associated with the brand. To name a handful, one can easily recall the likes of Brian Michael Bendis (though he's now exclusive to DC), Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, Jason Aaron and the stalwart we're mentioning today, Dan Slott.
Though Wolverine may have technically returned to the Marvel Universe last fall, he’s decided to stick to the shadows for the most part, appearing in various “post-credits” scenes in select comic books along the way. But after recently learning that Logan will once again be headlining his own series before long, we naturally assumed it to be an ongoing title.
Having to keep track of so many series these days, there are very few that I make it a point to acquire each and every season. After all, a person has only so much time, money and shelf space. But when it comes to Arrow, I can't help adding the next chapter to my collection once it arrives on home video.
Having been a fan of Aquaman for some time and knowing he's not the wimp that the mainstream perceives him to be, you could say that I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity for a movie featuring him to materialize. Fortunately, Zack Snyder cast the perfect badass for the role in Jason Momoa while assembling Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and now James Wan's effort looks like everything I could've hoped for and more.
Believe it or not, there still exist those who think the deaths witnessed at the end of Avengers: Infinity War will stick. Granted, I would've swallowed it myself had Thanos' snap not snuffed out pretty much every major Marvel player being granted a sequel over the next few years, but who am I to apply logic to the situation?
Having known since last month that Cicada will serve as the big bad throughout The Flash's fifth season, it's about time we begin learning more about the guest villains popping up in Central City over the course of the next year. And as it turns out, there's been a change made to the one we're going to discuss today that'll throw the comic book readers among you for a loop.
Though you may not realize it, this week has been one for the pop culture history books. I mean, not only did we finally meet our Batwoman in the form of Ruby Rose - the character's first appearance in live action, mind you - but her arrival in the Arrowverse means she'll be the first lesbian superhero to headline a TV show on a major network.
