Starting life as National Allied Publications in 1934, DC Comics would go on to become one of the biggest companies operating within the comic book industry. DC are heavily credited for introducing superheroes into popular culture with Action Comics #1 and Superman. Since then their catalogue has grown to include a host of other iconic characters including The Flash, Wonder Woman and of course Batman. As well as a legendary gallery of Heroes, DC are also known for their incredible line-up of villains including the Clown Prince himself, The Joker. The prominent role of villains in the DC universe has given the series a darker tone than most other comic books giving them a loyal following with an older audience. Following their merger with Warner Brothers, DC have seen great success in other mediums including TV, film and games. In 2013 Warner Brothers and DC released Man of Steel. This title would launch the DC Extended Universe which would see the release of Batman v Superman (2015) and Suicide Squad (2016). With plans for more films coming well in the late 2000’s, DC look set to move from strength to strength.
