After the failure at the box office of Batman and Robin it looked like the popularity of Batman had died. It would take nearly ten years and a whole new team to revive him. 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...

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.

It will come to Barry Allen, the fastest man alive, to save the multiverse.

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