The second match, set on Infernal Shrines, told a similar story but we saw a bit more coordination from both teams. UK started strong garnering the first Punisher, but that momentum quickly came to a halt when Laval won the team fight and got a Punisher of their own. From that point on, the French Canadian team steamrolled UK with ease and ended the match in just 14 minu


A smaller roster, like one found in _ Heroes of the Storm _ , makes it much easier to remember what your opponent can do, making it much better experience for new players. Not only that, but each hero is taken from previous Blizzard titles like _ Overwatch _ or _ World of Warcraft _ , giving each character a powerful, built-in backstory for a new player to identify w


Other networks aside, the Legends of Tomorrow route seems more likely if we’re ever going to see the Justice League on the small screen. Some major players will get their own shows, while others will appear as important supporting characters. Picture a Superman series that has him mentored by Martian Manhunter or frequently teaming up with Green Lantern, or possibly a Wonder Woman show with her travelling to Gotham for MOBA game Esports news one season and helping a mopey billionaire to lighten up a little. Not everyone needs their own show, and some might even need as little as a featured episode. Given that we’ve already got duplicate characters in the TV and movie worlds (the Flash, for example), this shouldn’t be too much of a prob

If it happened, would we get a full Batman series complete with crossovers and its own spinoffs? How about an entire Superman show? The character is already making a current appearance on CBS’s Supergirl , which is confirmed to be set in an alternate reality to the ‘Arrowverse’. Given the abundance of doppelgangers across different universes, it's possible that the Arrowverse could get its own version of Superman - one who could actually show his face and not just communicate exclusively through


So, are we ever getting a Justice League TV series? No one can say for sure, but with the success of Arrow and The Flash and the universe they’ve spent years building (even if you don’t love every element), it’s not something to be written off as a pipe dream. We’ve seen things in recent times that have never before been attempted: spin-offs of spin-offs, massive TV universes and animated web series whose characters have made the leap into live-action. Barry Allen recently jumped into not just an alternate universe, but a completely different network , with the door left open for Supergirl to reverse the f


That said, the creative teams behind all four series worked together to make Crisis on Earth-X feel like a four-hour movie spanning two nights, and they undoubtedly achieved that feat with more consistency than fans may have expected. Of course, their additional two hours of runtime (give or take commercials) compared to Justice League undoubtedly helped Crisis on Earth-X as the Arrowverse could introduce and explore multiple character arcs across the event - and continue arcs from the four CW ser


Meanwhile, TV can takes things slower. By nature the series would be episodic, even if it all culminates in a larger story arc, meaning that there’s plenty of screen-time to develop a universe. The Flash would almost certainly be part of both teams, but otherwise the membership could fluctuate as it does in the comics; the line-up could change over time, be entirely different from the get-go, or just not even develop into an official ‘Justice League’ at all, instead bearing a different name or just being a loose series of team-


And it's hard on gamers to just not buy games that use microtransactions; some of our most beloved series are heading down this path and whether or not the content is worth the extra money is an individual decision. Counting on big-name distributors not to do whatever they can to make money doesn't leave a whole lot of room for hope, but, short of boycotting popular series and supporting games that do it right, there's little gamers can do to stop the waves of cha


And yet, groundwork is arguably being laid for another Justice League, in DC’s alternate-universe world of TV. Shows like The Flash , Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow might have smaller budgets, but they’ve been mostly well-received by fans and they’ve made far greater strides in establishing a shared universe than their super-friends over in movie world (not to be confused with Movie World, the Australian theme park). Better still, hints continue to be dropped as to the future of the TV universe. In a few years’ time, is it possible that we’ll be getting two Justice Leagues, on both the big and small scre
