Would plunging the Caped Crusader into darkness be the key to success? Christopher Nolan was tasked with the job of bringing this character to life for a whole new generation. This is how The Dark Knight trilogy was born and became some of the highest grossing films in history. However, when I think about these movies the character that occupies my mind most is the Joker that will never be forgotten. Join The...

The world was in love with the Caped Crusader! Batman ‘89 had catapulted this character off the comic pages onto the movie screen, and into peoples’ hearts. There was immense pressure on the team in charge of continuing the story. Who do you cast in the iconic villain roles? How do you construct a film to please comic readers but also make sure it is enjoyable to kids who will ultimately buy the toys? Will they give Sean Young another chance to have a starring role? It is clear, she would stop at nothing to have another chance to be a part of this universe....

We start this chapter in Gotham but not the one that this Batman grew up in. Our hero's main focus is to stop the anti-matter wave from swallowing another Earth. In a ship outside of time and space the Monitor sits and observes. A young girl is in distress in her space pod. The Monitor intervenes even though he is not supposed to. He has also been collecting heroes to help stave off the universe’s impending doom. Perhaps this Kryptonian, nearly the last of her kind, can play a role in the salvation of the universe.

Superman brought everyone together to use their collective knowledge and special abilities to build a stronger alliance. An alliance...

The never before told origin story of DREAMER: the first trans superhero ever to appear on TV! Nia Nal’s spent her whole life taking a back seat to her older sister, Maeve, who’s expected to inherit their mother’s Naltorian powers––the ability to see the future through dreams. They’ll soon learn the dreaming powers had other plans…When Nia’s hit in the face with a kickball, the powers that weren’t meant for her are suddenly triggered. Saddled with guilt, Nia resolves to suppress her powers in an attempt to protect her relationship with her sister. But Nia can’t keep the dreams out forever…From Nicole Maines, the actress, activist, and writer who originated the role of Dreamer on the groundbreaking Supergirl TV show, and with stunning art by Rye Hickman that captures Nia’s fan-favorite personality, comes the origin story of a girl who must accept her own power to fulfill her destiny in a long lineage of female superheroes. Luckily, Nia won’t have to go through it alone.
