While DC’s cinematic universe has been deeply criticized for failing to hit the mark in recent years, particularly when compared side-by-side with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s important that we all remember who paved the way for superhero films in the first place. How many incarnations of Batman and Superman had we all seen long before the Avengers, X-Men or Deadpool took to the big screen? Christopher Reeve was an impressive Superman decades before Henry Cavill appeared in the role, and everyone from Dean Cain to Channing Tatum has played or voiced the Man of Steel at some point....

The Flash is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Known for his lighting fast speed and equally quick tongue, the Scarlet Speedster provides some much needed levity in the darker moments of the DC universe. It’s generally accepted that there have been four Flashes in the DC Universe, but throughout the characters history, there have been 12 people who have held the title of “The Flash” in some form or another....

The average video game controller is built to be sturdy enough to survive being thrown at a wall. This is a conscious design choice on behalf of console developers, as some boss battles can be so annoyingly difficult, the player will turn their gamepad into a baseball in a fit of rage. Game balance is impossible to predict, due to the sheer range of skill among the video game audience. What is easy for one player might be difficult for another....

Star Trek is one of the most popular and longest-running franchises in all of TV history. The show has given us hundreds of great stories, and countless themes to dwell on. From Kirk to Picard to Sisko to Janeway and more, the captains of the various ships and their crews have imprinted themselves on our cultural consciousness. It’s one of those shows that’s somehow accessible for any age group to plop down and watch, and yet almost never in its fifty years has it ever felt like it was aiming at the lowest common denominator....

The bosses that you fight in video games receive far more care and attention than the regular enemies that you battle throughout the story. This is because developers know that memorable bosses (and the struggle to overcome them) will help to cement the game in the player’s mind. You may not remember each individual encounter with gangs of thugs in the Arkham games, but you most certainly will remember the amazing battles against Mr....

For anime fans, one of the best aspects of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is that the series continues the stories of the characters they already know from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Not only do fans get a glimpse into the lives of Naruto and his friends as adults, but they also get to see just how their children have turned out so far. Of course, Boruto has also become popular with a new generation of anime fans thanks to premiering a few years after Naruto’s height of popularity....

Video games have no doubt evolved since the early days of Pong and Asteroids. As video games continue to become more and more advanced, the video game industry continues to grow and become bigger each year. There are thousands of video games out today, which all come out on various platforms, consoles, and even cell phones. While each game is unique in their own way, most video games have bosses or boss levels....

The world was certainly divided when they found out who Netflix cast as Geralt of Rivia in its upcoming adaptation of The Witcher novels (and games). Henry Cavill a.k.a. Superman a.k.a CG mustache will be playing the silver haired warrior, and this has brought up some issues of concern among fans on the internet. It’s not too surprising, as casting any beloved character is going to be tricky, but Henry Cavill is a good actor with a very strong presence, and he may just be exactly what The Witcher needs....

With the holiday shopping season already in full swing, it can be challenging to shop for someone who already has all of the latest Apple gadgets. Thankfully, that’s where accessories come in. From very cheap products to some more expensive ones, you can find something for an iPhone, iPad, or even Mac user with no problem. And, trust me, they would love to get any one of these accessories. 20W Power brick for iPhone or iPad Ever since Apple decided to remove the power brick accessory from the iPhone box, this is a product many users are always willing to buy....

Joss Whedon’s Firefly came up with some interesting alternative cusses, so here’s a quick guide to best swear words in The Verse. The basic concept of Firefly came from Alien: Resurrection, the fourth film in the famous sci-fi franchise. Joss Whedon wrote the script for that entry but ended up disowning the final product, feeling it had been largely miscast and failed to capture the tone of his screenplay. The movie also features a gang of space outlaws who pilot a ship called The Betty, with the crew played by actors like Ron Perlman, Michael Wincott, and Winona Ryder (Stranger Things)....

A Roseanne spinoff is looking more and more likely, with insiders expecting an announcement from ABC as early as this week. ABC has been contemplating a potential spinoff centered around Darlene Conner (Sara Gilbert) ever since they canceled the hit Roseanne revival last month; a move made in response to a horrifically racist tweet that Roseanne Barr had written on her personal Twitter account. Roseanne had already been renewed for a second season when the series was canceled, so that left ABC with an open primetime slot to fill....

The prospect of a world without passwords can’t come soon enough for me, but a problem has been raised with the FIDO standard designed to eliminate the need for them. Namely, that abandoning passwords could make it harder to switch between ecosystems. If you have your passkeys setup for Apple devices, there is nothing in the standard allowing you to transfer them to an Android device, or vice versa …...

[This is a review of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3, episode 15. There will be SPOILERS.] - Last week, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continued in the show’s effort to develop its characters as well as use the space it occupies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to provide some thematic legwork for the upcoming release of Captain America: Civil War. ‘Watchdogs’ brought Mack (Henry Simmons) front and center by highlighting his relationship with his brother as well as how he’s dealing with the departure of Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Hunter (Nick Blood), while the episode also delved into the sentiments of those who are anti-Inhuman and against other powered individuals....

After an excellent fourth season, and news of renewal for a fifth, Better Call Saul has more than proved it’s worth as a spinoff. Not only has the show provided a compelling backstory for many Breaking Bad characters, but it’s also a great story in its own right. Saul has introduced us to a cast of memorable supporting characters, like the scheming Chuck, intimidating Nacho, and motivated Kim, and delivered several classic episodes....

House Targaryen could be considered the main house in Game Of Thrones. They’re the one who ruled Westeros for centuries before the series started, and a lot of the story follows Daenerys, the daughter of the previous king who was usurped. They’re certainly surrounded in the most myth and fantasy, with dragons being associated with them and the most unusual appearances possible—but how much do you actually know about this great house and their history?...

Given the meticulous nature of J.K. Rowling’s notes, plot outlines and detailing, it’s almost impossible for fans to learn all there is to know about the Harry Potter Universe, but that’s not going to stop them from trying. Hardcore Potterheads have done their research on everything from wandlore to weird rules about magic, but there are some bits of trivia that some fans might still be completely unaware of. Although there are many false facts floating around, these ten obscure bits of Harry Potter trivia are fully-vetted and well worth the read....

The time has finally come. The wait is almost over. Deadpoolis right around the corner and excitement from comic book fans and moviegoers is palpable. A film that, only a few years ago, seemed like a complete fantasy, has finally - in large part due to the fans - become a reality. The Merc with the Mouth is hitting the big screen in a matter of days, and moviegoers will finally be able to decide if all of the hype is warranted....

Now that Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens has officially been released, arguably the biggest teaser campaign in existence has come to an end. As people flock to the theaters in record numbers, there will no longer be any need to catch previously unseen glimpses of the film’s characters (old and new) or eagerly anticipate when the next blip of information is going to come forth. Though some may believe otherwise, it’s hard to deny that a lot of the fun of an upcoming and hotly anticipated movie is in fact, the teasers – the promotional campaigns that leave us wondering and discussing what will be and how the movie will actually unfold once we’re in theaters watching it....

The Twilight franchise spanned four years (2008-2102) and five movies. First came Twilight, then New Moon, then Eclipse, then Breaking Dawn. The last movie was broken into two films, released one year apart. Even though the series was written by one writer in book and screenplay form - Stephenie Meyer and Melissa Rosenberg respectively - four directors helmed one each of the movies. A script for Twilight had been in development since 2004, and it was drastically different from the book....

All Gods are powerful in the Marvel Universe. Even the weakest Gods have the power to change reality, wipe out humanity and wreck havoc with little effort. However, that is a power that comes often with magic or possibly even deceit and trickery. A God like Thor can go toe-to-toe in battle with someone like The Hulk, and often come close to winning. However, a God like Loki has to use other skills if he wants to come close to taking down the big green guy – otherwise, Hulk will smash him into the ground in spectacular fashion....
