Four Super Powers Batman Should Get Now That He's Officially a Metahuman
Apparently, the long standing suspicions of Batman being a metahuman have come to light, in a manner of speaking. Those of us familiar with the Dark Knight know that he's never been enhanced in any way, he's simply pushed his body to be in peak physical condition, to where Batman seems almost superhuman. And while he's always given us the impression that he possesses abilities no one else is aware of, Bruce Wayne is just an average guy. However, that appears to have changed.

Are You Less of a Fan without the Comic Knowledge to Back It Up?
With the influx of comic book movies lately, it does seem to beg the question of "Do we need to start picking up the comics to get an idea of the characters?" When I saw the original The Avengers, I hadn't seen either Thor or Captain America, and it had been years since I saw the Hulk tie-in movie. It didn't make me confused, I was still able to enjoy the characters and the story, but there seems to be a stigmatism lately that you have to at least keep up with at least 4 different movies to go in and see one.

Balls To The Wall: Everything We Know About Amanda Waller In 'Suicide Squad'!
Dubbed as 'The Expendables' of comic books, hype is high for Zack Snyder's upcoming Suicide Squad outing. As Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Jai Courtney prepare to contend with Ben Affleck and Jared Leto, will we be cheering for the heroes or the villains? Well, one person we definitely won't be rooing for is Viola Davis's Amanda 'The Wall' Waller. As the woman in charge of Task Force X, a.k.a. the Suicide Squad, Waller has had many a run in with the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime in her 30 years of service. We all know you have to have some pretty big cajones to take on both Joker and Batman at the same time, and it a job we wouldn't wish upon anyone. As the self-proclaimed leader of the Suicide Squad, Waller has lead the current incarnations of the squad since "Legends #1" in 1986. Viola Davis will be the latest to put on a frumpy pantsuit for Dr. Amanda Waller's next big screen outing in this year's Suicide Squad. It is time to bring on the Wall!
