Keeping up with any particular media is always time-consuming, but for comic books, it’s a different beast entirely. Even if someone just focuses on superhero comics, there are countless new installments every week, and trying to consume everything is a major time and cost investment that’s way above what anyone could expect. DC alone has […]
The Teen Titans have become one of the most popular DC Comics properties of them all. In the ’00s, the team made their way to Cartoon Network and since then have become a massive part of pop culture thanks to Teen Titans GO!, a spiritual sequel to the original series that was more comedic. Both […]
For over eight decades, Wonder Woman has been a member of DC Comics’ Trinity alongside Superman and Batman. As the first major female superhero, Wonder Woman stands as a symbol of truth, feminism, and equality. And while DC Comics has arguably mishandled the Amazonian princess in recent years, she will always be a beloved heroine […]
Sinestro is officially appearing in Lanterns, and while this is really exciting, I’m worried about how the DCU show is going to handle him. Lanterns has a lot of talent behind it, and based on the franchise’s track record of HBO Max shows, it has a high chance of being great. However, it is an […]
Batman regularly goes up against villains and threats that should be far, far outside of his weight class. He’s bound by human limits, but he still battles alongside veritable gods like Superman and the Flash.

Superman is DC’s number one superhero. Heck, he was the first-ever superhero, leaping onto the scene and establishing the genre all the way back in 1938.

Captain America was born in the Golden Age of Comics, a time when DC Comics was king. Timely, the company that would become the House of Ideas in the ’60, entered the superhero game with 1939’s Marvel Comics #1, introducing Namor and the Human Torch, and in 1941, the publisher would give readers the Sentinel […]
Batman is famous, and to many, infamous, for his refusal to kill his enemies. Every fan has their own interpretation of why that is. Some cite “Under the Red Hood,” claiming that Batman avoids killing his foes because it would send him down a dark path he could not return from. Others will point to […]
DC Comics has been dropping iconic characters on readers for decades. They’ve created some of the most popular heroes and villains of all-time, with numerous household names coming from their pages. Many of these characters have stayed atop the superhero and supervillain communities, with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Lex Luthor, the […]
Alan Moore’s Watchmen is among the most profound and subversive works of literature in the 20th century. Published under DC Comics from 1986 to 1987, Watchmen is a scathing critique of the superhero genre, morality, and politics. The comic follows an original cast of “heroes” set in an alternate 1985 when the world is on […]
