Three Comic Book Characters Whose Series Were Called Something Else At First - #ComicBook #Blog

Ok, so what I mean by this is the fact that, ok, primarily just about everyone recognizes the characters from both, 'DC' and, 'Marvel'... But the truth is, is that comic book characters don't always start off where they end off at...

And with that said I thought I would mention 3 separate major characters that started off in different comic book series. 

Ok... At number 3. Batman... 

A great Bat-Man... Before he becomes, 'The Dark Knight'! 

That's right folks, before, 'Batman' got his own series, he started off in the realm of, 'Detective Comics'... Back in 1939! 

At number 2. Iron Man! 

A great comic!

As for Iron-Man... He started off in the world of, 'Tales Of Suspense' in 1963!

And at number 1. Thor!

This was Thor before he was an, 'Avenger'!

Before Thor got his own run... Before Thor became a member of the, 'Avengers,' Thor popped up in, 'Journey In To Mystery' #83 back in 1963!

Why The MCU Will Always Be Better Than The DCCU! - #Movie #ComicBook #Blog

A great universe... So why is DC trying to fuck up the TV and movie series?

Ok, so we all know about the brilliance of the, 'MCU'... I mean it is awesome! Watching, 'The Avengers'... Or even, 'Agent Carter'... And I don't know if you have noticed yet, but it seems like DC is trying to follow suite... A good time to do so with the MCU about to make some massive changes... But the way they are doing it... I mean come on! 

Now let me explain... So the movies that are being done by DC, are fantastic! The TV shows they are doing are even better, but when you consider the whole, 'DCU' they both suck! 

What I mean by this is the abusive way that the morons at DC are seriously fucking up the characters!

Now here is what I mean by this: 

1. Ok... So I am certain that if you are a, 'Flash' fan, that Grant Gustin ('The Flash' on the CW show,) is absolutely brilliant as the Speedster! But for some dumb ass reason, the casting executives at DC decided to cast some one else as the Speedster for the upcoming, 'The Justice League' movie!

Grant Gustin is, 'The Flash'... So why is DC trying to fuck that up?

2. With that said, with out Grant Gustin as, 'The Flash'... And don't get me wrong, They are going to have some one else in the role... But in this case from what I have heard, they are having Stephen Amell in his role as, 'Green Arrow' in the new Justice League movie 

Ok, so for some reason it looks like, 'Stephen Amell' is going to be in the new justice league movie, but not, 'The Flash'... Trust me... That doesn't make sense!

3. And now we go in to the various TV series... Both Batman and Superman are mentioned in all of the TV series... And we are going to take this bit by bit... Let's start off with: Supergirl. 

Supergirl is an amazing series, but it does almost seem like this show is the crux of where they are trying to fuck the DCU up!

Now Supergirl is an absolutely brilliant show... The problem is, is that where as it is true that  Henry Cavill (Man Of Steel) has never shown up for a guest spot in the series... But Henry Cavill's out line can definitely be seen a couple of times... But how can that be? I mean Grant Gustin is supposed to be guest starring on Supergirl soon... And he is being replaced by another actor for the movies... And then there is Jon Jonzz... A character who's actor in the TV series supposedly being replaced for, 'The Justice League'! 

4. And then there are the crossovers between, 'Arrow' and, 'The Flash'... Without Grant Gustin in the upcoming movies... Then the crossovers become ridiculous! 

This guy is supposedly going to be looking very different in the big screen!

Ultimately, the reason why the MCU will always be better then the DCU is the convoluted nature of how DC seems to be almost trying to fuck up their franchises! And the MCU's continuity is absolutely awesome!

Detective Comics #28 (1939) - #ComicBook #Review

Ok, so... So... so far I have to say that I am really quite impressed with where the Batman series started off with... I mean it is true that this comic had sort of a quiet start by consideration... But even if Batman hasn't started fighting people like, 'The Joker'... It is still pretty awesome! 

You know, you know some of the reasons that this amazing early series is great is not just because it is, 'The Bat-man'... But in truth it is because seeing the humble beginnings are just fun!
And you want to know what? The second issue of this comic book series is just as fantastic!

A fun one!

In the case of this comic... It looks like The Bat-man is going after a crime ring that is robbing filthy rich people! 

Ultimately the best thing about this comic is not so much the series itself, but the imagery... And what I mean by that is that these comics really are inked for their time, and seeing what Bruce Wayne/The Bat-Man is like in the 30s is awesome! 

So check out this issue... It is not the greatest, but it is a ton of fun! 

Detective Comics #27 (1939) - #Comic #Book #Review

This is the first comic to feature, 'Batman'! 

Batman... I mean this character is iconic on the same level as Superman, The Avengers, as well as so many more of the comic books that we grew up enjoying, as well as the movies we still currently love! 

I mean rather it is Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), Val Kilmer (Top Gun) or even Christian Bale (American Psycho) portraying the, 'Batman', this hero has managed to continue to keep audiences not just entertained, but on the edge of their seats as Batman and his side kicks over the years have taken out such awesome villains as, 'Joker', or, 'The Penguin', etc... 

Christian Bale as, 'The Dark Knight' fighting Heath Ledger as, 'The Joker'!

With that said, if you are like me, the movie maybe amazing, but you always have to go back to the source... I mean I have seen just about everything from, 'The Avengers', and freaking love all of them! But getting to read the first, 'Avengers' comic was just truly awesome! And the same goes for basically all of the rest of the original first issues that I have read! 

And that is part of the reason why I am glad that I have read, 'Detective Comics #27'... A.K.A. 'The first appearance of, 'The Batman'! 

The first adventures of, 'The Batman'! 

That's right folks, before being called just, 'Batman', or, 'The Dark Knight', Bruce Wayne is still a billionaire who lost his family tragically, but in this case his name is, 'The Batman'... 

And in this first adventure of, 'The Batman', his adventure maybe a little bit more simplistic... You see, our hero has tasked himself with uncovering the murderer of a business man, and the conspiracy that surrounds it! 

I will say that I now understand the wacky costumes that, 'The Batman' some times wears through out the decades... 

With that said, I will say that I did enjoy this comic, but if you are looking for one of the more involved comics that the more modern Batman comics generally tend to be... Well then you may not like this comic... but if you want to see where Batman first came from... Then this is definitely one to enjoy!

Batman Vs. Darth Vader... A Battle Royale We All Want To See!

The battle we have been waiting for!

So crossovers, no matter what the genre for decades have been something that has been really popular for decades... Rather you want to see the crew of the, 'U.S.S. Enterprise' teaming up with the, 'X-Men', or if you want to see Ash fight just about every big bad movie villain to have come out in the last 30 years!  Fans have wanted it... And mostly in written form they have gotten it!
Well a few months ago I was looking around at videos on youtube and I found a video of the evil, 'Galactic Empire's', 'Dark Lord Of The Sith', 'Darth Vader,' fighting Gotham's own, 'Dark Knight', 'Batman'... And it wasn't some weird mashup, or some one with no budget trying to have some fun... 

This particular video is a total blast, and although it is definitely indie, you could tell that some serious thought, and some serious capital went in to making this the best that it could be, so check it out!

Five DC/Marvel Crossover Comics Worth Mentioning

One of the things that I had wanted to see in horror movies is a crossover between some of the leading horror movie villains, and what that would be like... That was part of the reason why I was glad when Newline released, Freddy Vs. Jason (2006)!

Well before they released that I came to discover that this is a little bit more widespread in the literary community, and so I thought that it might be kind of fun to let you guys know about some of the comic books... Because let's be honest, wouldn't be cool to see a crossover between like, 'Star Trek' &, 'Godzilla'?

Well here we go! At number 5: Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man (1976):

An awesome comic!

 At number 4: Archie Meets Punisher (1994):

Archie & The Punisher... Either a match made in hell, or the death of Archie...

At number 3: The Incredible Hulk Vs. Batman (1981):

Batman Vs. The Incredible Hulk... Who do you think is going to win?

At number 2: JLA/Avengers (2003):

The Justice League & The Avengers... Hell yeah! A good movie, eh?

At number 1: Darkseid Vs. Galactus: The Hunger (1995):

2 masters of disaster... Who do you think is going to win?
