In less than a month, a teeny-tiny movie called Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will hit theatres. Its the precursor to an even bigger cinematic event, and when The Justice League: Part One premieres in November 2017, many a fanboy will probably shed those salty tears. Joe and Jodie public will undoubtedly be familiar with the aforementioned warring heroes, but the other members of this superhero boyband do not enjoy as much fame as a big budget Hollywood contract would have you think. The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg are all popular among comic-book audiences, but to everyone else, theyre not wholly enticing. The key is to put them everywhere. Weve recently seen a Lego DC video game featuring everyone from Lex Luthor to Batman and Green Lantern; a product that helped some lesser known characters gain admiration from the main target audience of a superhero film; children. The Flash has his own TV show, and Aquaman well, hes Aquaman. Its self-explanatory. In order to make The Justice League movie a bonafide success - not just commercially, but in the hearts and minds of the audience - these characters need an increase in popularity. Telltale make extremely well-liked games, and if they featured some of the more obscure heroic heartthrobs, it would give a nice boost to the brand awareness that studio heads oh so desperately crave, especially with their hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
