In this video essay, Willems examines the use of pop culture references in relation to the geopolitical implications of the DC universe. 

I was thrilled to write about Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez's La Borinqueña when she first came on the comics scene last year. Now, in the interest of helping Puerto Rico rebuild after the effects of Hurricane Maria (not to mention the financial stress the island has been under thanks to the United States' economic policies), La Borinqueña is getting by with a little help from her friends in the DC Universe.

As we celebrate Black Panther release day, I wanted to highlight two amazing black female characters in comics.

Alex Garland's adaptation of the female-fronted sci-fi novel Annihilation is coming out next week, but Garland already has a potential next project in mind if DC/Warner Bros. will allow him the pleasure.

The latest installment of the Earth One DC Comics Series is Green Lantern. The story is written by Hugo-nominated writer Corinna Bechko and fellow Hugo nominee Gabriel Hardman, who also did the art of the book. Corinna is the first female writer to work on any of the Earth One series.

It was a pretty big deal when long-time Marvel mainstay and Ultimate Universe architect, Brian Michael Bendis, announced that he was leaving Marvel to do work at DC Comics. While he seemed thrilled about the possibilities in playing in a new sandbox, it was difficult to think about the guy who co-created Jessica Jones and Miles Morales leaving. But today, there's a new excitement as DC Comics has announced the property into which Bendis will be injecting some new life.

There's a reason why the Star Wars universe is slowly, but surely, becoming a more inclusive one. The Star Wars story group.

Without a doubt one the biggest movies to come out this year was Wonder Woman. Patty Jenkins fought against rumors of a chaotic set, delays and the general doubt that a female-led superhero movie, and a DC movie at that, could be good. Yet, Woman Woman went on to become the most successful film the DCU.

Warner Bros. has released the first image of Brenton Thwaites as Robin/Dick Grayson from their upcoming Teen Titans series, Titans.

A timeline of sexual harassment and assault in the comics industry is lamentably challenging to truncate, but a girl can try.

Sometimes, you watch a movie and you just can’t get enough of your favorite character–except that the sequel won’t be out for a year or maybe more. If you walk out of the Justice League movie feeling that way, you may be in need of some reading recommendations to help fulfill your craving for more Wonder Woman or Aquaman.

When DC unexpectedly switched the editor of her Poison Ivy series to alleged serial harasser Eddie Berganza, Amy Chu took out her anger in the pages of the book.

As I've been catching up with The Flash, I have been excited to see Iris West, played by the beautiful and highly comedically talented, Candice Patton getting to play a more active role in the story. She is helping run Team Flash and brings a more stable sensibility to the cast of scientific characters. Yet still, I see people bringing up the same tired discussion in almost every episode that features WestAllen (Barry Allen and Iris West) as the main focus: aren't they brother and sister?

After suspending alleged serial harasser and Group Editor Eddie Berganza yesterday, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have announced their decision to terminate his employment.
