So, in 2009, the trio’s own headline printed them as the Gotham City Sirens; a villainous group of crusaders out to wreck the town. They became an instant hit, especially in the eyes of cosplayers who use the iconic troop to form their own Gotham City Siren brigades....

The Motion Picture Association of America (or MPAA) is responsible for the ratings system that classifies movies according to their content. Movies rated G are fine for all audiences, while NC-17 (formerly X) movies forbid the admittance of anyone under the age of 17. PG, PG-13, and R-rated flicks fall in between. The system has clear benefits for parents, as it gives them some basic information as to which movies may or may not be appropriate for their children to see....
It’s a lot harder to keep track of the various DC characters than it is for Marvel. The reason for this is due to how many different versions there are of the likes of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, due to DC creating a multiverse of DC worlds (before blowing it up) and adapting these characters to numerous different forms of media. The number of different incarnations of each DC character, coupled with all of the creators who have been allowed to write their stories, has meant that there are many unresolved mysteries and plot holes that have never been addressed....

It’s been over two years since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hit theaters. The film should have been a cinematic event — the crossover between two of the biggest characters in of pop culture starring in the same film, during a time where shared universes are the hottest commodity in the movie industry. Sounds like a home run, right? It wasn’t. The movie was lambasted by critics and fans alike, underperformed at the box office, and set DC’s new franchise off on the wrong foot....

The Accountant, the highly-anticipated action/mystery thriller starring Ben Affleck, features the Oscar-winning writer/actor/director in a very different sort of role as Christian Wolff; an autistic math-savant, lethal marksman and hand-to-hand combat expert who plies his skills as a sought-after bookkeeper for powerful and shadowy individuals all over the world.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe did virtually the impossible: it created a world filled with superheroes with their own stories and gradually connected them. It all started in 2008 with Iron Man. Next, we got solo movies from the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America, which culminated in the first Avengers film in 2012. This film proved that these heroes could work together on the big screen for one epic adventure. Nearly six years later, the MCU has expanded its world even more with new characters like Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, and even Sony’s Spider-Man....

Storylines are the bulk of any long-lasting series. To be successful, storylines need to weave into one another seamlessly and build on the overarching themes. However, good storylines mix well with the other storylines, but also hold the attention of the viewer in memorable ways. Without a certain quality of distinction, most storylines will fade into obscurity. This is not a golden rule of writing, but examples of it can be seen in the series all over the spectrum....
