If there's anything that can be said about the big two comic book publishers, it's that they sure do love their crossover events. Really, it's not long after we finish reading one that another pops up in its place. Heck, sometimes there are even two from the same company arriving on shelves at once.
Whether it be the the 1998 original or the 2019 remake, one of the coolest things about Resident Evil 2 is being granted the opportunity to experience the Raccoon City incident from the perspective of two characters in two distinct scenarios. Suffice it to say, you're missing out if you don't play as both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
Even though he's currently playing Cyborg's father, Silas Stone, over on DC Universe's Doom Patrol, it sounds like Phil Morris is more than willing to find the time to reprise his role from Smallville. As you may recall, he won many of us over during his turn as the Martian Manhunter when the Superman prequel series originally aired.
To my delight, the first season of Titans really set the bar for what a mature DC Comics-based series can achieve. Actually, Doom Patrol has since raised it, but I'm confident our favorite group of younger superheroes can outdo themselves in their second go-round.
Boy, time sure does fly. The seemingly endless wait for Gotham's fifth and final season is still fresh in my memory, but now we're already past the halfway point in the truncated closing chapter to the Batman prequel series. Already, we've seen the origin of the Joker play out, so it's fair to say that a few more surprises await us in these next few weeks.
Love it or hate it, a Justice League movie finally exists. Personally, I found it to be a highly entertaining and enjoyable action flick - but it wasn't quite the epic my favorite characters deserved. In other words, I'm not holding my breath for something on the level of, say, Crisis on Two Earths or Starcrossed in the live action realm.
Simple as the concept may be, the ability to don alternate costumes is an added element that increases the replayability factor for myself and countless other gamers out there. Fortunately, the recently released Resident Evil 2 remake honors this long-standing franchise tradition that's been around since the Playstation 1 era.
Now that Batwoman has been formally introduced into the Arrowverse, it seems like the already existing shows are dropping as many references to Batman as they can. Still, the Dark Knight himself remains off limits for The CW, but it's nice knowing that corner of the DC Universe has been opened up to them in some capacity. Maybe it's just me, but establishing such a thing and forever keeping it devoid of the Trinity is like looking at an incomplete puzzle.
As bizarrely fun as it is to brave dark corridors and be confronted by waves of zombies with whatever ammunition you have in your inventory as defense, you have to admit there's something so satisfying about being able to mow them all down with the greatest of ease. Really, just imagine Mr. X picking up that helicopter during your first encounter, only to receive a rocket to the face seconds later.
Cool as Mr. X may be, I remember how he was overshadowed by Nemesis soon after his 1998 debut. Not only that, but the latter monster mentioned has actually gone on to appear on film in 2004's Resident Evil: Apocalypse, leaving the other guy in the dust. But thanks to the immense popularity of the recently released Resident Evil 2 remake compounded with the power of social media, Mr. X has now become more of an icon than he could've back in the day.
