Devil’s Due Fires Back at DC by Releasing an Alexandria Ocasa-Cortez Cease and DC-ist Variant
Politics aside, this is funny. DC comics recently slapped Devil’s Due with a cease and desist order over an exclusive cover to Alexandria Ocasa-Cortez and the Freshman Force New Party Who Dis #1 Variant that featured her as Wonder Woman. The cover instantly sky rocketed due to being a very limited print run and due to the news.

Barry Allen, otherwise known as The Flash, is one of the most famous characters created by DC Comics. Fans expected him to play a much bigger part in the DC Extended Universe, but up to now, the speedy superhero has been limited to cameo and minor roles in various other titles in the franchise. This could represent a mistake by Warner Bros. Pictures, if the studio wants to replicate the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Characters like The Flash should be used as major building blocks in creating a fully-realised cinematic world. Continue reading “Why Isn’t The Flash a Bigger Part of the DC Extended Universe?”
