How Batman: The Animated Series Inspired Me
I feel pretty comfortable saying that everyone on the planet Earth knows who Batman is and the basics of his life story. Rich kid, parents killed in front of him in an alley, grows up training all his life to be the ultimate badass, dons a suit of high-tech armored pajamas, and punches out his issues in the face every night. Mostly does good for the world as a whole. I was (and still am, to an arguably lesser degree) obsessed with this show and all its follow up iterations. It inspired my life I think in many ways, but for this essay I’ll cover the top three. My sense of rightness and justice, my love of science, and my spirit of adventure.

Boba Fett
Jango surely had ties with the Mandalorians whether he considered himself one or not. This trait will surely be fleshed out by his son, Boba Fett in the coming episodes of the Mandalorian.

Justice for the Justice League
In this article we’re going to be learning about a side of the DC universe that most movie watchers never touch. I understand that many of you are probably at the end of what to binge watch with the difficult times keeping many people at home. But in these troubled times, a little escapism can go a long way. So, if you need a break or even need regain a little faith in the promise of what America was supposed to be, these animated titles from warner brothers are absolutely worth a look.

The Witch and the Beast by Kousuke Satake - Review
I’ve heard many people discredit comics, graphic novels, and manga, saying that they are not a true literary medium; that they are subpar and childish, undeserving of recognition.

Support Your Local Comic Shop
There's a little store tucked in between a Subways and a music shop. It's called Coliseum of Comics, and it's my favorite comic book store. That I've only been to two in total is of no consequence. They have a couple of other sites in Florida, and a pretty nice following on social media. I made my first visit there last year, bored with the slim pickings at the bookstore and intrigued at what lay beyond the dominating worlds of Marvel and DC.

Enter The World Of JOjo's Bizarre Adventure
There are a lot of popular manga and anime series out there. One of the most popular but not too mainstream is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The title alone probably caught your eye because of how bizarre it sounded. The manga was first released back in 1987 and the anime was released back in 2012 and is currently awaiting the next adaptation. To summarize the entire series, it is a bit of a bizarre series that has hits highs and some lows. One of the popular terms is “Is that a JoJo reference?” That’s because the series has been referenced in other series. Here is what you can expect when you dive into the world of jjba.

Learn How to Read Manga online for entertainment
If you are interested in reading Japanese comics, then one of the best ways to learn how to read Japanese comics is to actually watch the original Japanese through Mangastream. Some may think that watching a video of the original Japanese comic is not going to help them in the long run. However, with the technology today, it is possible to view these videos in a streaming format.

Did the Joker Die in Suicide Squad 2?
The new take on Joker by David Ayer has made its marks on the people (positively or negatively, that doesn’t matter). The superhero movie that portrayed a group of supervillains from the DC World as heroes is all-set to release the sequel, and surprise, surprise — David Ayer won’t be a part of the team! He passed-on the sequel and shifted towards Gotham City Sirens, which also includes Harley Quinn, but we are not going to talk about it. The news is that there will be no Jared Leto and no David Ayer!

The Story of Goku (The 1st Dragon Warrior)
This is the story of Goku. Long ago, Goku was born as the spirit of Yamoshi, the Omni God Creator (The 12 god creators are: Gabriel: Shinto God Creator, Odin: Asgard God Creator, Zeus: Olympian God Creator, Akumo: Millennial God Creator, Kaos: Titan God Creator, Wukong: Nova God Creator, Adriel: Destroyer God Creator, Jesus: Christian God Creator, Amon: Egyptian God Creator, Saturn: Roman God Creator, Angelo: Islamic God Creator, and David: Jewish God Creator), and the Descendant of God (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit). With the power of all forms (from SSJ to Ultimate Super Saiyan Ultra Instinct + Full Power), he could become the true king of the Circle of Life. After he was born, he grew rapidly into a kid (as of an 8 year old kid). Then, he knew that he wasn't the youngest kid (the eldest kid is Raditz). Goku is the oldest triplet, his brother: Tablos is the middle triplet, and their sister: Tursa is the youngest triplet. Goku's mother: Gine and Goku's friend: Sonic the Hedgehog are in shocked of all of this happening. Then, Bardock and Raditz returned home to see this! They were shocked too! Then, Vegeta, Broly, and all of the brothers and sisters saw it too! They were surprised that Kakarot (Goku's original name) will become the new king of the Circle of Life. Then, Goku realize that to become a king of the circle of life, he needs an army of everybody of the Cosmoverse to triumph over evil. To start, he needs the brothers and the sisters of Goku himself to end the Frieza Force (the Cold Force's original name). So they did! Then, Goku saw another Saiyan named Chi-Chi (she is born at the same time as Goku)! Then, God appear and he tells Goku that he can become the new king. Goku asked: "How can I prove myself that I can do this?" Then, Akumo came and said: OH PLEASE!!! YOU CAN'T PROVE YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!" Then, Goku said: "Come here, god, and fight it out!!!" So they did and Goku won!!! Akumo said to him: "Wow! you are a true king! one day, you will triumph over evil with your friends and family and become the one true king." Then, years later, in 2021, before his 18th birthday, Goku and everybody (from movie characters to video game characters) reached outside of the Cosmoverse and destroyed Null Space. What is left is the bottomless clouds the blue sky and the Hyper Sun. Then, Goku said: "This is the Circle of Life!!!" Then, Dajjal: the Evil Saiyan Emperor came and said: "This is the end for you, Goku!!!" Then, Goku unleashes the power of the Ultimate Super Saiyan Ultra Instinct + Full Power!!! That is when he became the 1st Dragon Warrior!!! Goku end Dajjal with the Spirit Kamehameha!!! The Saiyan War is over and Goku claimed his birthright and became king of the Circle of Life and the 1st Dragon Warrior.
