DC Succession On TV

The  super hero  genre   has  been  a  part of  pop culture  since  the 1940s  with DC  coming  before    Marvel.  Even  if  they  came out  at  the  same time  they  affected media in the  different ways.  These  days  everyone  talks more about  Marvel due to its success in the big screen with the MCu and independent films.   DC on the other hand  isn't  mentioned  that much  unless  they  talk about  the  big screen films.  The  obvious  reason  is because DC is  mostly well known  in  the small screen.  This  involves animated TV shows and  films  that  you can only watch on TV  or a DC streaming service.   They also  have live action TV shows  centered  on underrated superheroes and  some connect  together for  certain  events.  You  can  call it a parallel to  the  MCU so I'm  going to  go  over them   and  explain  them.

  Let's  start  off with  the animated TV  shows  that  we  grew up seeing. An  example  would  be   the Batman and Superman animated series  that  aired in  the 90s.   Those two shows had sequel    dubbed The Justice League   which    brought  the  team together from both  shows. Each  hero voiced by the same actor that played  them  in  the  original  show. At  the  same  time  the Teen Titans were  adapted as an animated show as well. Right  now  the most mature one would  be Young Justice  this  show  tackled  most  of  the comic  books adaptations it even created its own  Super villain organization.  The  trend keeps rolling  with  new animated  shows premiering  up to  today.

  DC  has also  produced several live  action superhero shows  telling different stories  from  the      underrated heroes.    The  CW  managed to create an entire  universe  of superheroes  called the  arrowverse  featuring Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and many more. This  even lead to the  Crisis On Infinite Earths   comic book event with a couple twists.  The  DC live action TV shows are just as effective as the Marvel cinematic universe.

The movies  exceeded on the small screen covering comic book storylines or their own original story.  They  may be animated but most of them are mature  including the  DC Animated Universe   film  series. They all  cover different  comic book stories  like  Death Of Superman, Batman Hush and the unforgettable  Flashpoint Paradox storyline. One  the  darkest would  be Batman The Killing Joke  which features  one of the darkest DC storylines with Kevin Conroy  and Mark Hamill as  Batman and Joker from the animated series.

  This little secret  shows  that  the DC universe has its own success in the media   behind  the  scenes. Not many comic book   fans know about  this secret. If  you love  the  comics feel free to check it out on TV or the DC streaming services.   Join Batman, Superman and the rest of the DC heroes in  new and hidden adventures that will blow you away.
