It is noticeable how critically acclaimed their tv-exploits have been, with the Netflix shows “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones” and “Luke Cage” being among the most watched series on the service.

Emotional DC Comics Moments
The comic book world is filled with emotional DC Comics moments. While Marvel has had its fair share of stellar scenes, one cannot deny the heaviness of DC Comics at times. After all, the comic book publisher is home to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, among an expansive list of other well-known superheroes. Regardless of their prowess as distinct individuals, it is their emotional DC Comics moments that have captured the attention of many loyal fans.

So without further ado, here are some superheroes who died and have been gracious enough to stay dead.

Marvel’s Civil War 2, a Copy of the First?
Marvel Comics just wrapped up their big event in Civil War 2. Just like the original, it had dire consequences for the entire Marvel Comic book Universe. While not a direct sequel to the original, it does make references to its predecessor within it. In addition, it follows the same formula almost to a T. There is nothing wrong with that, as the first Civil War storyline was very enthralling and changed the dynamic of the Marvel Universe at the time. If it ain't broke, then no need to fix it. Time to compare the two.

Complicated Portrayal of Supergirl Throughout History
In 1938, a character created by two young men from Cleveland revolutionized the then-early comics industry. Nearly 50 years later, the comics were still going strong, and the character, Superman, looked strong enough to last another 50 years.

'Gotham' Season 1 Pre-Batman Ultimate Guide
An often divisive superhero television series, Gotham is a show to be binged on. It is a fantastic voyage into the setting of the stage for what would be one of the most iconic superheroes ever, from comic book to TV to movies. Batman is a legendary hero. A hall of famer.
