Top Five DCU Candidates

Because when it comes to heroes, more is more.

With the release of Justice League, some would say that it has been made abundantly clear that too many characters have entered DC's cinematic universe too quickly. These people might be right, but it's still fun to imagine what could be coming and so the following is a list of the top five characters who could eventually get their own movie- reason be darned:


5. The Atom

Ant-Man was a success for Marvel and Ant-Man and Wasp is coming up sooner than later, so the natural move for DC would be to fire back with a shrinking hero of their own. The Atom can shrink to microscopic sizes, change his density, glide on air currents, and later on even grow to giant sizes. He'd make for a fun obscure addition to the universe that kept things interesting.


4. Raven

With Enchantress as Suicide Squad's main villainess and Cyborg as a member of the Justice League, it could be interesting to see the DCU's take on another member of the Titans who could act as a foil to Enchantress. Cursed with dark powers, Raven actually fights for the side of good, which could go along well with the darker tones that the DCU has become known for without becoming too bogged down in gloominess if the right director was found.


3. Zatanna Zatara

Similarly, it might be cool to introduce the Justice League Dark to the DCU, starting with Zatanna. Stage magician by trade and an actual magician by super powers, she could team up with John Constantine to form the sub-branch of the Justice League known for dealing with the supernatural, which could also fit in well with the addition of other characters like Raven and Swamp Thing.


2. Batwing

Because he's basically Batman in a robot suit with the same name as a futuristic airplane, and that's freaking cool. Plus he's the son of Lucias Fox and he could fill in for Affleck's Batman when he (inevitably?) bows out of the DCU, at the very least temporarily.


1. Static

Static has the power to control electric currents and he knows how to use it. He can fly around on metal discs using magnetism, he's got a fun attitude that could be the DCU equivalent of Spider-Man, and he could introduce a whole other segment of the DC comics by starting out as more of a street level hero too. Fans of the animated series would definitely be happy with his introduction in a live action film.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
