DC comics kicked off their cinematic universe with Man of Steel in 2013. I was extremely thrilled because I have been a lifelong DC fan and I waited my whole life for this cinematic universe. But everything has its goods and bads so does DCEU. DC started its universe to give competition to Marvel who has had its own universe started in 2008. DC was a bit late as compared to Marvel but it’s better late than never. DC fans were waiting for this universe for years and finally it is coming on big
Every child in the United States has heard or read the Marvel and DC comics books. If you have not then you have probably have heard of their characters like the famous star spangled hero, Captain America, or the Dark Knight himself, Batman. Both Marvel and DC has influenced the children and adults of American in its darkest times. The great wars affected many by its poisonous grasps, and its victims sought comfort with the antidote provided by the marvelous illustrators and writers of comic books
Though the concept of a shared universe was not new or unique to comics in 1960, writer/editor Stan Lee, together with several artists including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, created a series of titles where events in one book would have repercussions in another title and serialized stories would show characters' growth and change. Headline characters in one title would make cameo or guest appearances in other books. Eventually many of the leading heroes assembled into a team known as the Avengers

Superman V. Batman: Who is Greater? The most well known Superheroes from the DC universe are probably Batman and Superman. Many times, hardcore DC comic book fans dispute over who the better superhero is. Many like Batman for his gadgets and others for his looks, while others like Superman for his powers and abilities. I would personally say that Superman is the more capable and better Superhero. The main factor that tells me that Superman is a better Superhero is that fact that he actually has
he comes out of retirement to take on Superman. Actor Ben Affleck is praised for his performance as this version of Batman is the closest live action portrayal of how the Caped Crusader is in the comics.

movie, the action, or the gritty storyline. Since it is the human nature to see what is better than what, there is going to be a competition. Three separate studios each own big superhero franchises. The three studios are Marvel studios, Warner Bros (DC), Fox. In the present, it might seem all the superhero movies are the same, but do you see Marvel Studios or Warner Bros experimenting with R rated films like Fox?

Comic book readers worldwide are often divided into very distinct factions, Team Marvel or Team DC. Many debates have transpired that pitted the roster of superheroes for each company against one another. With very distinct characters, storylines, and visual presentation, both Marvel and DC Comics have found a way to coexist and come to dominate the comic book industry. Both the Marvel and DC comics are industry titans that have enjoyed unparalleled sales and success both domestically and internationally
earliest characters suffered from misrepresentation. In order to avoid any further false representation, the characters need to come from actual perspectives. It seems that comic book companies have seen what needs to be done because “Both (Marvel and DC) are bringing in more marginalized voices as creators, hiring more women, more people of color, people from religious minorities, and QUILTBAG people”(Underwood, 2015). With a wide array of voices each with different writers have been able to create

From the inception of comic books to the current age of superhero movies, strong female characters are few and far between. The strength referred to here is not the ability to bench press a bus, but the characteristic of being able to stand alone without support from a male character. Why aren't there more strong female superheroes? With the sex ratio in just the United States at 96.99% (which means that for every 100 men there are 103.11 women) showing that there are just a few more women than men

Brazen Head (1955), and even in DC and Marvel Comics. More than a widespread cultural phenomenon, the multiverse stretches “the fabric of reality” (Deutsch, 1997) through scientific discourses of and about observable reality. Philosopher and psychologist William James, it is often claimed, first defined the science (fiction) multiverse in 1895 when he said, “Visible nature is all plasticity and indifference, a multiverse, as one might call it, and not a universe” (10). My presentation makes two
How The Arrowverse Could Incorporate WonderGirl “You should see my other jet.” - Olivia Marsdin, SuperGirl WonderWoman was a massive success for DC Entertainment after mixed to lukewarm responses to its previous entries Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad. Not to mention, it was directed by a woman and starred a female superhero - outdoing Marvel. Ha! Take that Marvel Entertainment! Sorry. I couldn’t help it. In June this year, the Patty Jenkins superheroine made its male oriented
look at force levels today. We're looking at quality. Who is pushing three whole Manhattans like it's an awful yo-yo, not who's tearing whole no-limit pits each time they sonic punch the floor. From whichever comic universe the two strongmen come, the things they do in those universes are dissimilar to anything that is ever been seen. Mass is the saint that has levels of anger that nobody can contain. He is not the perfect mental photo of the Saint. Mass is the legend that lays to waste whole task
spawned The Flash, then Legends of Tomorrow. After Legends of Tomorrow came crossovers with Supergirl, Constantine, and even an animated series, Vixen. This universe has had many successful moments including the introduction of the Flash, the Invasion crossover, Deathstroke, Flash vs. Arrow, and much, much more.
