Moon Knight: The New Marvel Hero
What would happen if you had a dual personality leading a life, completely oblivious and on contrary to your own? And what if that person inside you made a deal with an Egyptian god in return for doing his deeds?
Well – that exactly is the all new Marvel Studios’ show Moon Knight all about. The show which is based on the original Marvel comic book of the same name is a story about the night vigilante who gained his powers because of the Egyptian moon god, Khonsu. The alter ego of this character is a little complicated, As in the show Moon Knight is made up of two characters, Steven with a V the museum gift shop salesman and the ruthless mercenary Marc Spector. But while we look into the comic book there is one more person named Jake Lockley in them as well. All three of them mixed up in a chaotic manner makes the character one of the most interesting of them all. The show has Oscar Issac in the role of Moon Knight while Ethan Hawke plays the main antagonist.

Batman: The Riddler Journey Continues
The biggest blockbuster that was released in the early stages of 2022 can be given credit to the all new Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The movie which takes up an account on the dark and neo-noir detective side of the character presenting Robert Pattinson as the young version of Bruce Wayne/Batman in his youth age of crime fighting. Though the movie has left a deep impact on the minds of movie watchers and comic book geeks likewise, due credit is to be given to the man who gave forth a performance which is likely to go down in history as one of the greatest endeavors you’ll ever see.
Edward Nashton/The Riddler played by Paul Dano has left the viewers in splits. The character has been only portrayed once in the cinematic live version of the Batman universe previously by Jim Carrey in the rather forgettable 90s movie, Batman Forever. Paul Dano has convinced us that he can pull off such an interesting character with a heavy tone making it thrilling and at some points horrific as well. But the journey for Paul Dano with The Riddler does not come to an end, As revealed by the director himself on twitter, A Riddler: Year One comic is in the making and is being penned by Dano himself. The comic book will be a bimonthly six-issue comic which will be launching in October 2022 delving into the dark mind of this iconic villain setting up the background which made him set upon to take the actions he did in the movie. This will provide a whole lot more information for the character, compensating for the 15 minute screen time he got in the almost 3 hour movie.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings hits theaters on Sept. 3.
