Action Packed Shows From the DC Universe

Think Marvel holds the monopoly when it comes to great TV shows based on comics? Think again! When you’re looking for a worthy alternative to the mainstream movies and TV that Marvel has to offer, here are two great DC TV shows that are definitely worth binging!

Supergirl. Although the show experienced some production complications after a move from CBS to the CW, it’s still going strong and it’s as exciting, not to mention empowering, as ever! Set in an alternate reality, the show makes excellent use of Superman characters like Lex Luthor, Bizarro, and even Superman himself. Fans are hoping for some sort of crossover with the Arrowverse, especially since the show shares the same creators and now finds itself on the same network, so it may be worth closely following the storyline to see what develops.

Gotham. After five seasons of stories from the streets of Gotham, the show has now come to an end, but that’s not stopping fans from streaming their favorite episodes again and again. What started out as a gritty crime drama following Gotham PD’s Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock, the show’s somewhat lackluster start quickly turned around once the writers started incorporating more Batman lore, with the fifth and final season bringing about Bruce Wayne’s transformation into the Caped Crusader. Now available on Netflix, it’s more accessible than ever and finding new fans on the daily.

Give The Gift of Experience

With the holidays coming up and holiday shopping season well underway, it’s tempting to pick up any old gift off the rack for the sake of getting the gift buying over and done with. But this year why not make it truly special by gifting an experience? From wine tasting to brewery tours, evenings out on the town to exotic getaways, and the odd extreme activity thrown into the mix, experience gifts are a better bet this holiday season, and here are three reasons why.

They may already have it. We live in a consumer culture, and with online shopping more accessible than ever most people already have what they really need. Rather than try to guess what your loved ones are after in hopes you don’t buy them something they already have, consider an experience that will always be fun even if it’s not something new.

Memories last forever. That’s right, the old cliche is true, material good really do fade whereas experiences and memories really do last forever, especially if someone is around to take a picture! It may just be a matter of years, possibly even months before that tech is out of date, and it’s only a matter of time before the fabric fades on those new clothes, but the memory of a fun experience will remain the rest of their days!

A shared experience is an opportunity to bond. For the gift that’s extra special, join your loved one on that experience of a lifetime and share the memories! It’ll be a bonding experience like no other, something that will last far longer than any object ever could.

The Many Lives of Tarzan

Fans of all ages have been entertained for decades with stories of the mighty Tarzan, but with so many adaptations of the character it may be hard to pinpoint his origins.

Tarzan was created by author Edgar Rice Burroughs, who was also quite known for creating the much loved character John Carter, among others. Tarzan of the Apes, published in 1912, served as the world’s introduction to the character and Burroughs would pen 25 sequels before his death. Countless others would borrow Tarzan to tell his tale, be it authorized or not, making Tarzan one of the most widely recognizable characters in literary fiction.

As the story goes, at the tender age of one Tarzan and his parents, a British lord and lady, were marooned on the Atlantic coast of Africa by mutineers. Tarzan’s mother would perish in the incident, while his father would die at the hands of Kerchak, the leader of the ape tribe who would later adopt the boy. Raised by apes, Tarzan, once known as John Clayton, would lose his connection to humanity until a young woman named Jane Porter would find herself marooned, alongside her father and members of their crew, on the same part of the coast. When Jane left the island Tarzan did as well in search of his love, and the two would eventually marry.

Although the main plot devices and characters remain largely unchanged, the story of Tarzan has seen countless adaptations in the worlds of radio, television, film, novels, and comic books, each adaptation bringing its own unique tone to the timeless tale.
