For the past several years, DC has been watching the money pour into Marvel's coffers as they've expanded their cinematic universe well beyond ten films, with plans to expand it even more. Now they're learning. Between Superman Vs. Batman, the Justice League film, and a Wonder Woman movie, DC is taking a trick from the fellow comic giant's book and developing their own cinematic universe. That leaves fans with more questions than a child pondering the inception of a newborn, like Who's going to get a full movie? When are those movies going to come out? What lesser known (yet greatly loved) characters will get nods and cameos? But even more than the heroes, fans are curious about the villains, because while many of the heroes that the DC Cinematic Universe will incorporate are very obvious, the studio choice of villains isn't always so clear-cut. The DC Universe has some pretty well-known characters that will obviously be drawn out, such as The Joker, Lex Luthor and Sinestro, but there are also some pretty hokey characters that will send filmmakers running to the hills faster than The Flash himself. In a spirit of embellishing the ridiculous, reveling in the unbelievable and mocking the cheese (and the corn), these are the villains that DC writers probably wish they'd never been so high as to create in the first place.
I'm an entertainment writer, as well as a fantasy, science fiction, and dystopia author. I began writing my first book, a medieval fantasy novel, when I was 12 years old. While I never published that work, it was instrumental in jump-starting my writing career, as I branched out into other stories and worlds, including space opera and dystopia. My first published work, Finding Sage, was completed and released in 2014. While working on Finding Sage, I began to expand my writing skills into other areas, picking up entertainment writing at first as a hobby, and then as a more serious undertaking. I now write for four websites and blogs, and continue working on writing more books.
