Harry Potter: The 15 Most Powerful Patronus, Ranked | ScreenRant

In Harry Potter, the Patronus is a powerful spell. But it isn’t an easy spell to cast, in fact, some of the most advanced wizards out there would struggle with the spell. The spell itself requires the caster to visualize their happiest memory – and hold on very tightly to it. This sounds simple, but in practice has been proven to be quite difficult. The whole point of a Patronus, of course, is to ward off Dementors. Dementors suck all the life and happiness out of a person, so the longer it takes to cast a Patronus, the harder it will become. Though there is an interesting secondary use for a Patronus – a messenger.

A Patronus is unique to the caster and is very personal. Some witches and wizards will never have a corporeal Patronus (such as Lupin and Neville) while others will have theirs appear as an animal. Incidentally, a Patronus will take on the same form as the caster’s Animagus. The form a Patronus takes doesn’t automatically equal to power (though we can probably assume that a non-corporeal Patronus isn’t quite as strong as one with form). But these forms are iconic and worth talking about.

Updated June 4th, 2020 by George Chrysostomou:The wizarding world continues to amaze audiences around the world. With HBO Max featuring the many Harry Potter films, we're revisiting one of the most famous magical creations of any wizard or which: the Patronus.

15 Luna Lovegood's Hare

Luna Lovegood is an incredibly talented witch. She's had some real darkness in her life (including the death of her mother) and yet it's incredibly easy for her to access so many happy memories.

This fact, along with her skills as a magic wielder, results in her Patronus being more powerful than most. The free spirited hare is a perfect reflection of the character, who is both close with nature and easily underestimated.

14 Arthur Weasley's Weasel

Arthur Weasley isn't the best when it comes to casting spells. Indeed, he has a position with the Ministry of Magic which showcases some skill, although his expertise is with the muggle world rather than with magic itself.

The weasel is often seen as sly and cunning, which doesn't necessarily reflect Arthur. However, not only does the Weasley name find its origin with the weasel, but it's also an animal that J.K. Rowling has a great fondness for and is an undervalued creature, much like the character.

13 Ginny Weasley's Horse

Ginny Weasley is tough and determined. She's much like a horse in that she can be very calm and gentle, but also fearless and fierce in battle. Her own magical abilities mean that her Patronus is far more powerful than many of her peers.

RELATED: Harry Potter: Animal Characters, Ranked By Their Importance

Ginny has proven she can face off against great dark magic wielders such as Bellatrix Lestrange, demonstrating how much magic is fed into her Patronus. Many of her happy memories will come from a supporting and caring family, much like her father's Patronus.

12 Ron Weasley’s Jack Russell Terrier

Ron's Patronus didn't get too many chances to stand out, though it was useful at times, of course. But the fact that it had a corporeal form says enough about it.

11 Hermione Granger’s Otter 10 Nymphadora Tonk’s Wolf

RELATED: Harry Potter: 10 Best Dumbledore Quotes About Magic

Being an Auror, and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Tonks has had to rely on her Patronus on more than one occasion. Her Patronus likely got the most use during Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix – where she was helping to guard Hogwarts. Her Patronus pulled double duty here, both protecting and sending messages. And frankly, there's no way that Mad-Eye Moody would have allowed her out into the field had she not been capable of defending herself.

9 McGonagall’s Cat

McGonagall's cat Patronus hasn't had too many opportunities to shine, but we know that it's a strong one. Most of us would be curious to know what happy memory she's thinking of when she casts the spell.

8 Aberforth Dumbledore's Goat

Given his family and his ability to have stayed alive this long, it goes without saying that his Patronus is a strong one. The fact that he lived in Hogsmeade during the Death Eater and Dementor prowls says it all.

7 Dolores Umbridge’s Cat

RELATED: Harry Potter: Professor Hagrid’s 10 Best Teaching Quotes At Hogwarts

Though we shudder to think about what happy memory she's thinking of in order to cast such a powerful spell. We have a feeling that her idea of happy and our idea of happy is very different...or at least we sincerely hope so.

6 Kingsley Shacklebolt’s Lynx

We have no doubt that Kingsley's Patronus would have been capable of facing off against several Dementor as well. It fits in well with Kingsley's attributes, for one thing.

5 Snape’s Doe

Snape was able to use his doe Patronus for a very important task. Ironically, it once again wasn't one that required fighting off Dementors. But it did help Harry win the fight against Voldemort, which is arguably more important. Snape used his Patronus to tell a different form of a message – a nonverbal one. He had his doe guide Harry to the place where the sword of Gryffindor was hidden (by Snape). This finesse is impressive, especially when one considers the fact that Snape had to be out of sight for the entire scene.

4 *Lily Potter's Doe

Lily Potter's magic all comes down to love and affection. Her greatest strength is her heart. This is the only way that Harry was protected from a killing curse, because of the love of his mother.

RELATED: 5 Reasons Harry Potter Was Over-Hyped (& 5 It Will Last The Test Of Time)

As can be imagined therefore, he Patronus is incredibly powerful because it is created with all of that love and happiness. The doe is a gentle creature and inherently linked to her husbands Patronus. The doe is also a surprising symbol of strength but brings about imagery of family.

3 *James Potter's Stag

James' son inherited the stag as a Potronus, although perhaps a far more powerful one. But it cannot be denied that James was also an incredibly talented wizard who fought the dark lord himself.

The Stag is a more traditional show of power and strength but once again brings about imagery of family. The happy memories creating this stag will be of his wife and son, which makes the Patronus that much more powerful.

2 Harry’s Stag

Harry's Patronus is impressive for that feat. And frankly, it's impressive that a boy like Harry had room for happy memories in his life, and had the ability to recall them so strongly.

1 Professor Dumbledore’s Phoenix

Dumbledore is the only named character we know of with a magical creature as his Patronus. It likely has to do with his ties to Fawkes, and possibly even the deep ties his family has had with this special Phoenix. But we're just guessing there.

Dumbledore's Patronus was capable of sending off dozens of Dementors at once – all of whom had shown up in hopes of sucking the happiness out of his students. So you can't really blame the Headmaster for being upset with them.

An Agent of SHIELD Hero Just Became The War Machine | Screen Rant

This article contains spoilers forForce Works 2020#3.

An Agents of SHIELD hero just got to become War Machine for the day. There was a time when Tony Stark was the only armored Avenger. He's still undoubtedly the best, if only because he's a genius inventor and continually upgrades his armor with his latest innovations. But he's no longer unique because there are plenty of other superheroes who don Stark tech for their heroism.

The most famous of these is, of course, War Machine. James Rhodes is one of Tony Stark's best friends, and in fact briefly replaced him as Iron Man, before taking on a superhero identity of his own. But an Iron Man-esque suit of armor is beginning to feel like something of a rite of passage for a superhero, indicating when they've made it into the big league. Squirrel Girl has her own dedicated suit (modified for her tail), Captain America donned one when the super-soldier serum wore off, Black Widow recently became the War Widow, and Deadpool once stole an Iron Man armor. Even Mary Jane Watson has had a brief stint as Iron (Wo)man.

Related: Agents of SHIELD’s Hydra Twist Retcons Captain America: Winter Soldier

In this week's Force Works 2020, one of Agents of SHIELD's greatest heroes has finally gotten to don Stark tech. The Force Works team has been assigned to the island of Lingares, and they're dealing with a terrible threat; MODOK has gained control of the Ultimo android, a giant robot created to destroy entire planets. With James Rhodes tasked to figure out how to stop Ultimo, it falls to Quake to delay him. She does so by putting on the recharging War Machine armor, and taking to the skies to confront MODOK. Hilariously, not only does MODOK fall for this delaying tactic, he doesn't even figure out Rhodes isn't inside the suit. Had he realized Rhodes was elsewhere, he'd likely have deduced Force Works had a plan of some kind.

Quake could use some practice with Stark tech. She can't work out how to control the War Machine suit's HUD, and her marksmanship leaves a lot to be desired. Still, Quake manages to get MODOK 22 miles away from any inhabited area, which is pretty much what she aimed to do. That's when she's swatted from the sky, and the War Machine armor shuts down due to the immense damage it has sustained. MODOK peels the armor from Quake, and is shocked to realize who he's really facing - which is when Quake cuts loose in an unexpected attack using her own powers that save the day.

No doubt operating War Machine's armor is one thing Quake can cross off her bucket list. Of course, the Agents of SHIELD version may well find Stark tech a little easier to operate, given Fitz and Simmons regularly come up with ideas that would dazzle Tony Stark. In Agents of SHIELD season 7, they've even successfully cracked time travel, five years ahead of Iron Man.

Avatar: 15 Things Every Fan Should Know About Azula | ScreenRant

Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender has plenty of memorable villains for Team Aang to fight in their quest to restore peace and balance to the world. Aang meets his first villain, Zuko, early on, and they soon start a deadly game of cat and mouse. But Zuko isn't the only one whom Fire Lord Ozai sent after the last air bender. Princess Azula burst onto the screen in season 2, and she's a whole new level of fire bender.

RELATED:Avatar: 10 Things You Never Knew About Zuko

As a product of the powerful Ozai-Roku bloodline like her brother, Azula quickly proves herself a real powerhouse of a bender, assassin, and military strategist. But there's more to this princess than just her flames. What else is there to know about the Fire Nation's most fearsome bender?

Update June 4th, 2020 by Louis Kemner: The Avatar: The Last Airbender series has returned to Netflix at last, and this is a chance for old fans to revisit their favorite show while newcomers can try it out for the first time. Classic characters from Aang to Toph to Azula are back, and there is a lot to know about princess Azula. She isn't just a cunning villain; she's nearly as complex and tragic as her fire-scarred brother. What else should fans know about the fearsome Fire Nation princess?

15 Rare Apologies

Azula is, overall, a vain and arrogant person, and she is not typically seen trying to comfort anyone or make amends to them. She thinks that everyone owes her something, and this even includes her friends Mai and Ty Lee.

But Azula will make an exception for Ty Lee. Azula once called her a tease, and when Ty Lee took it really hard, Azula relented and gave her a sincere apology. That was the only time Azula was seen saying "I'm sorry" to anyone.

14 Blue Princess

Azula is the only known character in the entire franchise (including The Legend of Korra) to create blue flames. This is a mark of how skilled she is, and how strong her firebending can be.

RELATED: Avatar: the Last Airbender - Toph's 10 Most Badass Moments, Ranked

So, the creators named her after this distinct blue fire. Azul means "blue" in several languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Galician, and Filipino. So, Azula's name must be pretty on the nose when dubbed in those languages.

13 Her Chinese Year

The Chinese zodiac of twelve animals is a part of the Avatar universe, and a number of major characters are confirmed as being born in certain years. In Azula's case, the year of the Snake.

None of the zodiac animals have a negative connotation. The Snake is intelligent, wise, enigmatic, and cunning, traits that can be used for good. But they are also tailor-made for villainy, as in the case with Azula.

12 She's A ComfortableLiar

Not only is Azula a manipulative and cunning person, but she can lie too, and she doesn't easily give herself away. This is useful for taunting team avatar, tormenting Zuko, and much more.

Toph can sense when a person is lying by feeling their change in heartbeat and blood pressure, but Azula can tell lies without being detected this way. She's too confident and ruthless to feel nervous when lying.

11 Agni Kai Fighting

An Agni Kai is a ritualistic firebending duel, fought during the evening so the two combatants won't hurt each other too badly. It's not a fight to the death; it's a way to settle grievances.

RELATED: Avatar: 10 Fan Art Pictures of Sokka That Are Just the Best

Zuko, Zhao, and Ozai have all been seen fighting this way, and Azula is the first and only girl seen fighting an Agni Kai (against Zuko during the finale). It's unclear whether this is a coincidence, or if Agni Kai duels are usually fought between men by tradition.

10 She's A Full-Blown Prodigy

Only her grandfather, Fire Lord Azulon—for whom she's named—has had the honor of being named a fire bending prodigy. Plenty of skilled fire benders appear in The Last Airbender, from Jeong-Jeong to Admiral Zhao to Zuko himself. But Azula is a step above them, to her father's delight, and Azula can produce rare and powerful blue flames. That, and this princess is graceful and deadly in combat, using all sorts of innovative fire bending techniques while hunting Team Aang.

9 She Can Play Mind Games

This princess can really get into your head, especially if you're Prince Zuko. Even as a child, Azula always knew exactly how to provoke her brother and friends alike, sometimes to tease, sometimes to turn her enemies on each other. And, as a 14-year-old princess, Azula can intimidate or coerce anyone, including the Dai Li, who become loyal to her over Long Feng. Not even Long Feng's fervent order to arrest Azula worked against her mind games. She's good at taunting, too, to control her enemy's actions during combat.

8 Her Pragmatic Side

While Azula likes to show off her brilliance and royal status, she soon learns that this does not work for some jobs. Early in season 2, Azula easily gives away her presence with her large and fancy Fire Nation ship. Team Aang could spot that thing from a mile away. So, Azula correctly realizes that she needs "a small, elite team" that can stealthily go anywhere and get the job done. Soon enough, Azula recruits the acrobat Ty Lee and the knife-throwing Mai for the job. The hunt is on.

7 The Finest Lightning Bender

Azula isn't the only one seen bending lightning. Iroh can bend it too (and later learned how to redirect it), and seven decades later, Mako proves himself a fine lighting bender, too.

But, as with her fire bending, Azula takes it a step further. The princess can bend it with extraordinary skill and power, and she very nearly killed Aang with it—and thus, nearly ended the Avatar Cycle for good. Fortunately for the world, Katara's healing water fixed the damage enough for Aang to recover and resume his quest. That was a close one!

6 She's Got An Insecure Side

Almost anyone who meets princess Azula will see her proud, arrogant, and confident side, and even her allies may fear her for it. But deep down, Azula is a teenage girl like any other, and she shows her more vulnerable side during a house party on Ember Island.

There, far away from the courts or battlefield, Azula is just another girl, and she's a lousy flirt. She actually does want to meet and impress boys, but her awkward boasts don't go over well. At least Ty Lee tried to coach her a bit. Azula's also not thrilled about her chilly relationship with her mother, Ursa, but more on that later.

RELATED: Avatar: 10 Funniest Sokka Moments

5 A Flair For The Dramatic

Azula needs to put on a tough act to impress her allies and enemies alike, but it's clear that she enjoys this and doesn't just do it for appearances. During a beach vacation, Azula is invited to play a round of volleyball with the other teenagers, but she manages to turn that into a game of life or death! She sets the net on fire and exploits an opposing girl's bad ankle to secure victory, and boasts rather loudly about it. So much for "graceful loser, humble winner." And don't forget the time Azula set Ty Lee's safety net aflame during a circus.

4 Flaunting Her Superiority

As an extension of her love of drama, Azula never fails to show off how superior she is (or feels) compared to others. Late in season 2, Azula infiltrates the walled-off city of Ba Sing Se, and takes command of the Dai Li right out from under Long Feng's feet.

Later, when the scheme is complete, Long Feng kneels and admits "you beat me at my own game." But Azula doesn't just agree; she says "don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player." That must sting.

3 She's About To Lose It

Azula has a lot on her plate as a princess and the prime hunter of the Avatar. For the most part, Azula has the mental fortitude to juggle her many responsibilities, but things turn on her later on.

Zuko has fully defected to the Avatar's side, and, at the Boiling Rock prison, Mai and Ty Lee turn against Azula at the last moment to secure Zuko and Sokka's escape. Azula is shocked, then furious, then secretly devastated. Combine all this betrayal with increasing pressure to perform and deepening resentment against her mother, and it's clear how Azula eventually lost it.

2 Azula and Acrobatics

While Azula is not quite the expert acrobat that Ty Lee is, Azula is still a skilled acrobat in her own way. She uses this to great effect in combat, moving with finesse and finding the right angle for attack. This also makes it easy for her to evade attacks and maneuver around the battlefield.

1 Azula and Ursa

While Ursa doted on her son Zuko, things were different as mother and daughter were concerned. Ursa was deeply disturbed by young Azula's constant teasing, mocking, scheming, and general cruelty, and Ursa scolded her every time. But Azula didn't learn her lesson. She resented her mother more and more, and instead took comfort in her father's bottomless admiration of her.

Ursa appeared again as a hallucination later when a hysterical Azula heard this imaginary mother telling her "I love you." Azula took this as mockery, though, and shattered the mirror where this imaginary Ursa appeared.

SMALL TOWN BOY (DATING AMBER)

Five years after same sex marriage was approved in a referendum, it is important to remember just how long it took the Irish Republic to get to a place where it cherished all of its children regardless of their sexuality.

Same sex relationships were only decriminalised in 1993 - just five years after the country was shamed into accepting its laws breached the European Convention on Human Rights and 26 years after England and Wales.

Scotland decriminalised homosexual relationships in 1980 and Northern Ireland in 1982 but only after Belfast gay rights campaigner and future Ulster Unionist councillor Jeff Dudgeon successfully took the UK Government to the European Court of Human Rights after he filed a complaint seven years earlier about the police interrogating him about his sexual relationships.

Jeff Dudgeon's victory would inspire the Dublin academic and gay rights activist David Norris' successful European Court of Human Rights challenge against the Irish Government after his country's Supreme Court nartowly upheld in 1983 a High Court ruling that the ban on homosexuality was constitutional.

Dudgeon and Norris' victorious efforts to decriminalise LGBT relationships on either side of the Irish border were hard fought and should never be forgotten.

The latter's victory also forms a fascinating backdrop to David Freyne's second feature film 'Dating Amber' - a teenage Irish comedy drama that, in this era of Covid-19 restrictions, has gone straight to Amazon Prime.

Set two years after the repeal of the law that banned gay relationships in the Irish Republic, writer-director Freyne focuses on the struggle of two Kildare teenagers with their sexuality.

Fionn O'Shea's 17 year old Eddie lives in a state of acute anxiety.

Believing he must forge a career in the Irish Army because it is a family tradition, he undertakes an Army Cadets' course to please his dad, Barry Ward's senior officer Ian and Sharon Horgan's Hannah.

Fearing he may not be physically up to the challenge, he practices chin-ups on a chikdhood swing in the family's back garden - often struggling to do one.

Ian and Hannah's marriage is also under strain, with Eddie and his younger brother sitting awkwardly at the dinner table hearing their parents' blazing rows.

With his Walkman often glued to his ears, Eddie even inadvertently cycles into an Army shooting exercise on the Curragh camp - oblivious to the mayhem he is causing.

In school, he is often badgered by Ian O'Reilly's sex obsessed loudmouth Kev about whether he is "shifting" girls.

Ian even sets up a snogging session for him with Emma Willis' more promiscuous Tracey.

However after that encoubter goes disastrously, he is approached by Lola Petticrew's Amber who has noticed Eddie has a secret crush on Peter Campion's maths teacher.

Amber is a feisty girl with fanciful dreams of fleeing to London to set up a franchise of anarchist bookshops.

Her father has committed suicide but she hopes to fund her dream by regularly renting out a caravan in her mum Jill's caravan park to horny teenager boys and girls to have sex.

Amber is also secretly a lesbian and reveals this to Eddie, while confronting him about his own sexuality.

To help themselves navigate the pressures of smalltown life and the homophobic atmosphere prevalent in their Catholic school, Eddie and Amber concoct a plan.

They pretend to date each other and initially have some success convincing their parents and peers they are deeply in love.

However it is only a matter of time before the cracks start to show because of their feelings for others.

'Dating Amber' is the latest in a wave in recent years of Irish coming of age movies and TV shows about teenagers from Lenny Abrahamson's dark drama 'What Richard Did' and Simon Fitzmaurice's 'My Name Is Emily' to much lighter fare like John Carney's 'Sing Street', Peter Foott's 'The Young Offenders' on the big and small screen, Lisa McGee's hit Channel 4 sitcon 'Derry Girls' and, most recently, Abrahamson and Hettie MacDonald's adaptation of Sally Rooney's 'Normal People'.

The presence of Fionn O'Shea also ensures that comparisons are inevitable with John Butler's 2016 boarding school comedy drama 'Handsome Devil' which also dealt with a teenager struggling with being gay.

However the film that the central relationship of Eddie and Amber most resembles is Richard Ayoade's 'Submarine' with its quirky teenage couple and deeply unhappy parents.

A beach scene specifically seems like a nod to Ayoade's film, while Amber's duffel coat resembles Yasmin Paige's attire in the 2010 film.

Freyne imbues his story with a lot of heart but the result is a movie that engages the head and occasionally the heart, while not completely meeting expectations.

In his attempt to hit on the right comedy drama formula, the writer director doesn't quite get the balance right.

The drama often overshadow the comedy which never manages to go beyond the mildly amusing - even when it veers into the bawdy.

And this is where 'Dating Amber' suffers when compared to 'Handsome Devil.'

Dealing with similar themes, Butler managed to achieve a more effective balance between drama and comedy.

'Dating Amber,' though, has a good eye for 1990s nostalgia.

Pulp blares on the soundtrack, two boys scrap in the schoolyard over whether Oasis is better than Blur and Lauryn Canny's Trinity College student Sarah, who Amber falls for, even sports a Feile rock festival t-shirt which for many Irish teens was a rite of passage.

As for the cast, O'Shea and Petticrew make charming leads.

After his recent role as Marianne's sadistic middle class boyfriend in 'Normal People', it is good to see O'Shea playing a more nervous, conflicted teen.

On the back of her assured performance as a sensitive teenager in Shelly Love's delightful Derry comedy 'A Bump Along The Way', Petticrew does much to suggest she has a promising career ahead of her.

Ian O'Reilly's Kev seems a world away from his much more innocent character, Padraic in the Chris O'Dowd sitcom for Sky1, 'Moone Boy' but he has his moments, while Emma Willis has a lot of fun as Tracey.

Lauryn Canny also does a good job as the student who Amber falls for.

However it is the older members of the cast that most impress.

For the few scenes where he is onscreen, Peter Campion is a reassuring presence as a sympathetic teacher.

Simone Kirby does an effective job as Amber's angry and lost mum.

Barry Ward has some touching moments as Eddie's well meaning dad Ian.

However it is Sharon Horgan, in a role which is less comedic than we are used to, who arguably steals the show as she delivers the most heartrending speech in the film in which she tries to get her son to open up about his unhappiness.

There is much to savour in Freyne's second feature and plenty to suggest that he is a director worth keeping an eye on.

However 'Dating Amber' doesn't quite do enough to rank it alongside the great Irish coming of age movies.

As an insight into the struggles of teenagers coming out in the early days of a more progressive Ireland, it certainly earns its stripes.

But it lacks the comedic bite that is so desperately craves.

('Dating Amber' was released in the UK and Irelamd on streaming as an Amazon Prime original movie on June 4, 2020)

Captain America Battles Batman In Epic Marvel Vs DC Fan Art

Captain America takes on Batman in an epic piece of Marvel vs. DC fan art. When you think of comics, superheroes, and big-budget movies, the first studios that come to mind are Marvel and Warner Bros (DC Films). Their relationship is rooted in a nearly 80-year publishing rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics. The spandex-clad heroes so many grew up reading about in masterfully-crafted panels have become perhaps the biggest headliners at cinemas around the world (especially in recent years).

Even before 2008’s Iron Man gave birth to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic book movies were all the rage. The 70s, 80s, and 90s saw a rise in popularity of DC characters withSupermanand Batman films. 2000’s X-Men not only threw Marvel’s hat into the ring but launched two decades of superheroes being taken (more) seriously; franchises like Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogies changing the game. Marvel Studios took a significant leap when they launched the MCU (a cinematic adaptation of the comic book universe). To directly compete with this Warner Bros., the DC Extended Universe and then their subsidiary studio, DC Films.

Related: 2021 Is The Ultimate Marvel v DC Movie Battle

While Man of Steel and Iron Man was Marvel Studios' and DC Films' first outings, Justice League and The Avengers are the official amalgamations of the MCU and DCEU. That said, DC’s Batman and Marvel’s Captain America are as central to those universes as Clark Kent and Tony Stark. This is because Steve Rogers and Bruce Wayne are the leaders of their respective teams of superheroes: the Avengers and Justice League. Freelance artist, Pablo Ruiz recently posted a picture to Instagram featuring those leaders; this new epic piece of fan art sees Chris Evans’ Captain America and Ben Affleck’s Batman go head-to-head. Check it out below.

The chances of seeing Steve Rogers meet Bruce Wayne is slim; Chris Evans passed on his shield in Avengers: Endgame and Ben Affleck has hung up his cape and cowl. On top of that, the studio rivalry rages on as Warner Bros. finds their way. In the same way that Captain America gets the jump on Batman above, Marvel has had much more success with their universe than DC. The popularity of films like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam!, and Joker has now prompted Warner Bros. to focus more on one-offs. Even if Matt Reeves’ The Batman serves as a spiritual reset for the DCEU, a silver screen DC vs. Marvel crossover where Batman bests Captain America will exist only in our imaginations.
