In order to defeat ZOD and fix the changes made to past events, The Flash enlists the help of BATMAN (role being reprised by Michael Keaton ) and SUPERGIRL.       This is NOT a Superhero story. This is someone with superhuman abilities having an ordinary HUMAN experience. This is what makes the movie relatable. We feel for The Flash because we all have events in our past that we would like...

Its called the recovery suit.      I argue that the significance of Superman's black recovery suit is spiritual and should get special recognition on the Easter holiday alongside of the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Chocolate, etc.      After Superman was killed by Doomsday in the "Death Of Superman " comic, the kryptonians put Kal-El in the black suit while they were resurrecting him. The Black suit helped Kal-El absorb more energy from the sun and resurrect faster. Superman also briefly wore the black suit when he lost his ability to get energy from the sun.      S...

If yes, which parts or traits would you take from each of them to make your composite? Could all of the composited parts/traits work in harmony or would the parts of BATMAN work against the parts of SUPERMAN? If, yes, then how would you keep all of the parts working in harmony? Which parts or traits would be stronger?      You could have all of BATMAN's gadgets and technical abilities with ...

How do we choose? I think we need both types of women but this blog post will focus on the sexy Wonder Woman type.      A Wonder Woman will use her bracelets of Submission to deflect all kinds of bullets and dangers away from her Super...

Both of these action figures will make any fan of the DC Multiverse reminisce about two very different but equally iconic portrayals of the Joker character that were given by two very different but equally iconic actors. These action figures may even spark debates about who played the role better.      Its Jack Nicholson verses Heath Ledger. Jack Nicholson gave a upbeat comedic portrayal of the Joker character in Tim Burton's Batman film which also starred Michael Keaton as Batman . Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker character in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" was much Darker, way more intense and psychological. Jack Nich...
