Ranking DC’s 15 Event Comics
DC Comics is set to kick off their next major event called Convergence this April as elements from the old DCU will make a comeback in a conflict that spans the multiverse. With that big event on the horizon, we figured now would be a good time to look back at DC's past events and see how they measure up today.
Event comics and crossovers are just part of the territory when it comes to superhero comics these days. Ever since Crisis on Infinite Earths set the standard for epic, spectacle-driven superhero stories in the DC Universe, DC has been pumping out one event after another. Some of them have been immensely entertaining, while others are better left gathering dust in the quarter bin.

Pitt and Jolie, Together Again
Brad Pitt is in negotiations to star in his wife Angelina Jolie's forthcoming drama Africa.
According to TheWrap, Pitt will play famed archaeologist Richard Leakey in the biopic, which follows Leakey's defense of elephants against poachers in Kenya in the late 1980s.
Jolie is working with cinematographer Roger Deakins, who also shot her last film, Unbroken. She is also producing Africa and production could begin as soon as this summer.
"I’ve felt a deep connection to Africa and its culture for much of my life, and was taken with Eric Roth's beautiful script about a man drawn into the violent conflict with elephant poachers who emerged with a deeper understanding of man’s footprint and a profound sense of responsibility for the world around him," Jolie said of the project in a statement.
Agent Carter Character’s Major Marvel Movie Connection
Note: Spoilers for the most recent Agent Carter episode, from January 27th, follow.
It only took one episode beyond her introduction for Peggy Carter’s new neighbor, Dottie (Bridget Regan) to show she had some huge secrets on Marvel’s Agent Carter – as she quickly and effortlessly killed the dangerous Mr. Mink.
So how does Dottie have these skills? We have the answer, straight from the show's executive producers. Ready to hear it?
One last warning if you want to look away…
Alright, if you’re still with us, here goes! As some suspected might be the case, especially given the specific fighting style she used, Dottie is indeed a product of the Black Widow Program – or at least the program that will become Black Widow. Yes, before Natasha Romanoff would prove how formidable she was in the present day of the Marvel films, other women received the same training from Russia – and Dottie is here to represent that in Agent Carter’s 1946 setting.

Batman Writer Talks Joker’s New Origin & Big Villain Return
Beware of spoilers for Batman #38!
Today's Batman #38 had two huge developments in the current Endgame story arc.
First, we saw a brand new origin for the Joker that explained how he has a regenerative quality -- linked to Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, and the Talons -- that not only grants him unnaturally long life, but the ability to heal from fatal injuries. Last issue, Jim Gordon discovered pictures of the Joker dating back to the beginnings of Gotham, and this issue appeared to confirm that the Joker is older than Gotham.
