Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League represented several of DC's problems, but fortunately it didn't take too long for DC to fix them. With both movies, it felt like DC was trying to copy the formula of The Avengers , but not in a good way. DC's team-ups didn't feel earned in the same way as Marvel's. Marvel took its time, while DC rushed toward throwing its biggest heroes together — and it showed. DC didn't make the same mistakes with Aquaman and Shazam!, which feel unique from anything made by Marvel. Since Justice League , DC has showed a willingness to dabble in various genres, tones, and styles. What DC has on the horizon is a sign that the studio is doubling-down on this appro

Still, esports is often treated like one entity. In reality, individual games play out more like anthologies—unconnected by the umbrella term that defines them. Like a thin layer of algae on the surface of an abandoned pool, esports as a title masks the diverse ecosystem that exists beneath the surface, suffocating its variety and preventing outsiders from getting in the water. Even if you are a huge fan of one title, other games remain largely uninteresting and impossible to watch. As a result, can anyone really call themselves a fan of espo

Both LoL and Dota2 would arrive in open beta roughly around the same time, but Riot got the jump on Valve by releasing League of Legends in October 2009. Since then, LoL 's popularity has simply exploded. By 2012, LoL was the most popular game in the world and by Jan of 2014 the game had 67 million people playing it every month. LoL was easily the most popular game viewed on either YouTube or Twitch, and with that many eyeballs came an exploding eSports scene. Professional tournaments began in 2011 with the League of Legends World Championships providing the best team in the world a top prize of $1 mill

Both Marvel and DC have seven films scheduled to release between 2020 and 2022. Marvel is giving Black Widow her first solo movie in 2020, even though the character was killed off in Avengers: Endgame . Black Widow will be followed by Eternals , a cosmic superhero epic which features a star-studded cast. 2021 will be Marvel's busiest year yet with four movies: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings , Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness , an untitled third Spider-Man movie, and Thor: Love and Thunder . As for its 2022 slate, Marvel's only confirmed film is Black Panther

Supergirl season 4 saw Kara Danvers having to contend with an enemy unlike she'd ever faced before - the anti-alien militia leader Agent Liberty. Though the mid-season finale saw Agent Liberty's identity exposed to the world along with the depth of his terrorism, this only served to make him a martyr to his cause and the public backlash prompted Supergirl's dismissal from the DEO. The remainder of the season will see Supergirl having to cope with her new status as an outlaw, as well as the emergence of a Russian Supergirl clone and her first confrontation with Lex Luth

That might've been where it ended but for another custom map in yet another Blizzard real-time strategy game called Defense of the Ancients . The general idea for Defense of the Ancients (which was soon shorted to just DOTA ) was basically the same as Aeon of Strife , only DOTA utilized Warcraft III 's new hero units to full effect. The map also added purchasing items, breaking news expanded hero skills, and various neutral encampments that could be killed in order to gain an economic advantage over the opposite side at the risk of being caught between a belligerent mercenary camp and an ambushing en

Since Kennen has poor sustainability in lanes, Taste of Blood (heal when you damage an enemy champion) and Ravenous Hunter (unique takedowns grant permanent healing from ability damage) offset this weakn

Based upon the classic comic storyline Batman: No Man's Land , the fifth and final season of Gotham **__ ** sees the titular city cut off from the outside world. This leads to a war between what few good people remain and the various villains introduced over the past four seasons. All of this sets the stage for Bruce Wayne to take up the mantle of the Dark Knight in order to save his city, as well as have Jim Gordon become the city's police commissio

For many fans, DC's upcoming slate of movies is more exciting than what Marvel Studios has planned for Phase 4 of the MCU. Between 2020 and 2022, DC Films is currently developing more big-name properties than Marvel, who has been leading the industry in comic book film adaptations for the last dec

Marvel Studios has been dominating at the box office for years. Since 2016, Marvel has released seven movies that have grossed at least $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Marvel rakes in the millions with every installment in the MCU, with not a single one being a flop. Each movie has experienced some degree of success. After years of flirting with the top spots in the list of highest-grossing movies of all-time, Marvel finally overtook Avatar with Avengers: Endgame when it brought in $2.7 billion. In another impressive stat, that same list includes several other Marvel Studios movies, such as Avengers: Infinity War , The Avengers , Avengers: Age of Ultron , and Black Panth
