It is no secret that Warner Bros. is already eating dust when it comes to successfully bringing out DC Comics' characters onto the big screen that aren't named Batman or Superman. And that should come as no surprise, seeing how Suicide Squad is littered with glaring cliches and doesn't have the slightest clue of where its headed.
Pop Culture Nonsense

'Suicide Squad' Is Messy and Utterly Pointless

And that should come as no surprise, seeing how Suicide Squad is littered with glaring cliches and doesn't have the slightest clue of where its headed.

My Top 10 Movies of 2015
Another year has come to a close and because of that it's time for a top 10 list of best movies in 2015. In my opinion it has been a great year for movies. While the market was pretty much dominated by big franchise sequels, a lot of them were really good and the diversity in genres is much appreciated (not much superhero movies this time).

Classic Marvel Figurine Collection #28: Mr. Fantastic
The Fantastic Four are Marvel's first ever superhero team, which paved the way for the comics publisher to be what it is today. Although they are the first ever team to debut, it is unfortunate that the family are surpassed by Marvel's other teams like the Avengers and the X-Men in terms of popularity.
In the Marvel universe, Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic, is considered be one of the most intelligent humans along with Tony Stark and Hank Pym. Click more for the on-hand photos of Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic.

Classic Marvel Figurine Collection #7: Silver Surfer
The Silver Surfer is the most famous herald of Galactus. He is not outright a supervillain even though he is a herald of the world devourer, and actually has helped out a lot of Marvel characters in the past. Over the years he has gained quite a following among comic book readers, and became one of Marvel's most popular characters.

Movie Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America is seemingly the least liked among the Avengers. His first Marvel Studios's film, Captain America: The First Avenger, while a solid World War II superhero action flick, only had a mediocre reaction from the general audience. In his appearance in 2012's The Avengers, he wore a "bright spangly outfit" as Tony Stark said, mocking him. Certainly Captain America is a bit lacking in the "cool" department. The only things he have going for him are his morals and principles and his shield.
All that will change as Captain America: The Winter Soldier is more than just a superhero film. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo take the star-spangled superhero into a more serious direction and dive him into a world full of deceit and espionage.

Grant Gustin in Full Flash Costume, Actually Looks Like Flash
Following the head shot of Grant Gustin in a Flash mask, Warner Bros. Television finally released an official photo giving us a full view of the costume, albeit a little obstructed.
Nevertheless, the costume is more faithful to the one we see in the comics as opposed to the hoodie version that appeared in Smallville. It looks pretty good actually. Hit the jump for the full photo.
