Batman Begins

Why are origin films are so popular? How origin films have changed the lives of many. Origin films have been around for decades and have built the foundation for many remakes and sequels. Moreover, origin films base the foundation for many movies because they grab the attention of the audience. The purpose of these films are to introduce people to the story of that superhero. Generally, they show how the hero gets his/her powers, and how they rise to fame as the superhero of that particular film…

movies, three Captain America movies, two Thor movies (third is on the way), and two Avengers as well. So, is it any surprise if DC’s charm is fading? As for fans, DC loyalists are huge in number and they have already proved their love for DC with “Batman v Superman”. This recent March release was also panned by critics but made an impressive $800-million-plus worldwide, at the box office. So, it would not be really a surprise if “Suicide Squad” sets the cash registers ringing, when it hits…

When you think of a geek, you usually think of the thick glasses, reading Batman comics and usually getting beat up by high jocks. Of course, not to mention the embarrassment of going to a comic con in handmade costumes of our favorite super hero or TV show character. Nowadays, we see a lot more geek culture and it’s become a cool, social aspect to embrace that quirky side of being a geek. It’s now cool to strut in our amazing cosplays—cosplay, not costume—and enjoy the fascination of comic…

Did you know that Wonder Women was made of clay by her mother, and was brought to life by Greek gods? I want to be a superhero to fight crime and keep citizen’s safe. My superhero’s name is Agent 13, and I work all over the world to save people. I came up with the name Agent 13 because I wanted to be a spy and work worldwide to solve crime.

On July 20, 2012, Jon Blunk demonstrated the act of unconditional love for his girlfriend in Aurora, Colorado at a movie theater. During the midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the assailant, James Holmes, began his attack on the crowd. Amid the booming shots of gunfire and smoke, Blunk sacrificed his life by laying on top of his girlfriend, Jansen Young. To protect her from being shot, Blunk pushed his girlfriend under the seats and laid on top of her to keep her safe from danger.…

For this essay, I have decided to compare two “bad guys” that audiences always seem to love. One is your classic high school rebel in The Breakfast Club, while the other is Batman’s favorite villian in The Dark Knight. Judd Nelson and Heath Ledger share many similarities in their roles as John and the Joker, however I think the biggest difference between the two actors is the amount of intensity put into their characters. John is a troubled young man, who seems to be mad at the world. Judd…

The new Batman v Superman movie is one that has many fans skeptical. The replacing of Christian Bale with Ben Affleck is a move that could doom this movie from the start. It is not fair to judge a role before the movie is actually seen, but Affleck just does not seem like the king of guy who could pull of playing Batman. LEGO BATMAN IS MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE NEW TRAILER I have watched many movies where the trailer was amazing, but the movie sucked. A lot of the times when this happens, the…

teams with those saviors from the sewers...Batman and the Turtles in an epic 6 part miniseries from writer James Tynion IV (Constantine, The Eighth Seal) and artist Freddie E. Williams II (The Flash). Ok, ok, ok...down to business. Is this comic worth it's ink and paper? Happy to say yes. It's always difficult with these magnets of nostalgia pieces to get lost in the warm fuzzies and overlook tiny elements like story. The plot lays down like this: Batman is investing a string of thefts…

The Light to Show Them the Way: Superman as the Messiah As a child, I would always watch the old TV show The Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves. Like many children of my time, I would take an old towel and tie it around my neck for it to be my cape so I could ‘fly’ around the house being Superman because of that old TV show. I later became a fan of the comics and read many of his adventures in DC Comics. I loved the action, the powers that Superman had, and wished to be like him in…
