The "wonder" In Wonder Woman Comics By: Vince P.Platania,Jr | - Wonder Woman comics have always carried the theme of strong, independent women. This may be attributed to Elizabeth Holloway Marston, wife of the character's creator William Moulton Marston (who also created the polygraph).

The First Batman Comics A Different Batman By: Vince P.Platania,Jr | - The first Batman comics were written in a pulp style representative of the times. In these early stories, Batman was not above using firearms, or even harming or killing criminals with little to no remorse.

Things toned down a little when Robin joined the Caped Crusader, but were still kept in that pulp tone.
Where Have All The Super Powers Gone? By: Vince P.Platania,Jr | - Are there any good super powers left that haven't been used?

Superhero Movies- Where Next For The Genre? By: Andrew Hawnt | - It is a rather strange and exciting time for the comic book movies genre. With last year's superhero films The Dark Knight, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, audiences were treated to feature films that took the core elements of the superheroes that have filled comics for decades and turned them into successful movie properties. The genre as a whole has reached something of an impasse now, mostly down to The Dark Knight, but also down to this year's WATCHMEN adaptation. Audiences aren't just the ...

Batman - Part Two By: Virgil The Story Teller | - Though the stories took on a more serious tone, this did very little to help the failing Batman books.

The story, which features a future Batman coming out of retirement to take on Superman, the government and anyone else that dares to get in his way, featured a much darker Batman than before and the financial success of the comic inspired DC to use the Frank Miller style ...

Captain America - Part One By: Virgil The Story Teller | - The impressively long history of the comic superhero Captain America began in December 1940, a full year before the bombing of Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II.

One of those young men was Steve Rogers, a skinny artist full of the patriotic fever to join the arm ... Tags:comic, superheroes, caption America, Bucky, superman, batman
Batman - Part One By: Virgil The Story Teller | - Making his debut in the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics, Batman has been around longer than any other traditional superhero besides Superman. For this reason, both the history and personality depicted in Batman comics has shifted repeatedly.
The original Batman, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, was modeled after Zorro. That version of Batman was a pretty somber character because, as Bob Kane explained, I always thought it would be more exiting for Batman to work outs ...

Characters In Iron Man By: hari | - Tony Stark is one of the biggest reasons to see this film. Stark is one of the most dynamic characters in comic book history, and he shows no signs of stopping.
Stark is a genius of child prodigy level, but also quite a hedonist as an adult. He's set his father's burgeoning weapons manufacturer Stark Enterprises to pretty much function on his own something that works a little too well, as Stark sees his weapons used by insurgents in Afghanistan during the time of his capture. ...

A Quick History Of Comics, Part 2 By: Richard Pulfer | - But comics retained their youthful streak in the 1960s. During this time of increased counter-culture, Marvel Comics rose to go head-to-head DCs traditional line-up, emphasizing heroes like Spider-Man and the X-Men, who appealed to young teenage readers as opposed to ideal citizens like Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Many experts believed the Silver Age kicked off with the publication of Fantastic Four in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
