DC Comics Essays

In the year of 2008, DC Comics released a motion comic of Watchmen, the art style was a lot similar to the original comics, and the makers delivered the emotions of the panels through the use of depth of field, animation of the elements such as the smoke, the characters, and the environment. A year later after the release of the motion comic, Glenn McDonald (2009) stated that “Truth be told, the workmanship here is prominently better than the sloppy mass-market versions of the graphic novel. The

Since the early 1900’s comics books have provided a popular source of entertainment for both children and adults. However, over time comic books have manifested into varying styles and appearances. As the culture of the world changed through war, economic depression, and political shuffle, comic books have served as a reflection of the world’s altering ideologies. The comic book powerhouse DC Comics, formerly know as Detective Comics, stands today as one of the most prominent and popular entertainment

Comic books have a long and fascinating history. Comics have been inspiring, and giving people hope for decades. The beginning of the age of comics is debatable; some could say it was with the creation of Superman in Action Comics number one from nineteen thirty-eight, or from Joseph Pulitzer’s publishing of the comic “The Yellow Kid” by Richard Outcault, or even back to paintings on cave walls; but we won’t go back that far. (Ross, Wood) When it comes to the history of comics I see it unnecessary

created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, first appearing in DC comic books in 1939. In the first issue, Batman’s symbol is a simple black bat with spread wings and 5-7 points, no great effort at continuity was kept by the artists when depicting his symbol as at that time Batman was not a famous character like the iconic batman brand we see commonly in pop culture today.

As a child It was always a mystery to me how Superheroes had their supernatural powers. Many superheroes differ from one another. Like many fictional characters invented by DC Comics, Superman and Batman both have many different and similar characteristics. They both have distinctive abilities who make them who they are. Although they are both fictional characters and many people choose Batman over Superman, Superman has always been my favorite. First off Superman has many different names Kal-El

is already much excitement over the upcoming Supergirl/The Flash crossover, where Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen is set to help Kara Zor-El in defeating Italia Ricci’s Silver Banshee.

This image is from the 1986-87 Watchmen series from DC Comics, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. The artwork depicts the superhero-slash-vigilante Edward Blake, otherwise known as “The Comedian,” delightfully using a flamethrower in Vietnam.

The devastation he caused, therefore, is a product of the nationalism and militant drive fostered by the US government

because of the controversy it causes the character to be a figurative god. We have seen it in multiple stories with Dr. Manhattan of The Watchmen, or Firestorm of DC Comics, or Molecule Man of Marvel Comics. Molecular kinesis is the power to manipulate, change, and control molecules. With each form being a little bit different in the comics there have been a few constant with each incarnation that makes it difficult to use to just anyone. One of the major advantages of having this super power is that

Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!” These are some quotes from Lex Luthor in the hit indie film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which highlight the numerous differences between Batman and Superman.

My favorite superhero villain is easily The Joker. The Joker is smart and thinks stuff through before he does anything. The Joker also is very sinister and doesn't hold back. Another reason as to why the Joker is the best super villain is because he has a lot of history with the hero. The Joker is a very smart villain, that's why he hasn't died. He plans out his attacks very well and smart, He doesn't just blindly attack like other villains, for example. When the joker went into the Warehouse

From a young age, children are told that the good guys are the ones wearing the superhero suit: they help those in need while maintaining a good reputation among others. But, most heroes are only known by their “stage name”, like Superman, and Clark Kent doesn’t get the everyday recognition of the people around him, like his alter ego does. If people learn that Clark Kent and Superman are the same, they will view him in a better light. But when an everyday person sees themselves as a superhero, their

My heroine is Angelina Jolie since I was 6 years old. For me a hero is someone that helps people, take care of them, it is kind, intelligent, brave, and humble. I chose her to be my hero, because she has all the qualities to be a heroine. She helps and saves people all over the world. This is a big deal to me and it is what I want to do when I grow up. One example of her kindness, was when she helped Vietnam, and she did it so well that she earned the right to a Vietnamese passport. She also works

Issue #24, written by guest writer Dan Abnett, and illustrated by guest artist Ian Churchhill, is an improvement from the narrative from #23 for sure, or I'm just still really sour about issue #23. This picks up from Aquaman #25, so it may leave folks a bit baffled. I love Mera-centric issues, and it seemed like a well-enough reason to have one. Thus far, the Justice League has a good line-up of filler issues. Mera takes on the entire Justice League with skills and entertainment. The art is the
