While each of the six movies in the Terminator franchise has introduced new and terrifying Skynet weapons, the most dangerous of all still hasn't made an appearance on the silver screen. Beginning with Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 and Robert Patrick's T-1000 in the original Terminator films, every movie has put a new spin or advancement on the form of the Terminators pursuing the main protagonists. Each new Terminator has its own unique killing methods and abilities, but one Terminator exists in the franchise's lore that outguns them all--and it has yet to be introduced in the movies.

Outside the six movies, the Terminator universe has continued to expand across other media. Some of Skynet's greatest weapons have been introduced in additions to the movie continuity, such as the brainwashed humans introduced in The Terminator: The Dark Years comic miniseries from Alan Grant, Mel Rubi and Trevor McCarthy.

Everyone's favorite butler of the DC Universe, Alfred Pennyworth, knows everything there is to know about Batman, including the heroic path that Alfred wishes Bruce had taken instead of being a vigilante.

However, after feeling like he was wasting too much time on regulation paperwork rather than actually focusing on the field,...

Several teases for the ongoing Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths event have hinted that Nightwing may be stepping up as a leader of the Justice League, which could spell doom for the DC Universe. Dick Grayson is no stranger to leading teams, he's been a member of the Teen Titans, the Outsiders, Young Justice, and Batman Incorporated. He's also held non-leadership positions in the Justice League.

Nightwing is a fantastic leader; it's perhaps the greatest strength that he has over Batman. While Batman is unbelievably determined and able to solve almost any problem given enough prep time, one of Bruce's most significant weaknesses is that people don't trust him. After all, it's hard to trust Batman when he has contingency plans to defeat all his friends at a moment's notice. Nightwing, on the other hand, has never had such underhanded tactics, and he excels in leadership roles because of it.
