Batman

just ordinary people, and a consistent theme of a need to put faith in something larger than yourself. For this reason, I believe Wonder Woman is a great example of a superhero that is classified as contemporary mythology. Aside from Superman and Batman, no other comic-book character has lasted as long as Wonder Woman, who happens to be the most popular female comic-book superhero of all time. Like every other superhero, Wonder Woman has a secret identity, but unlike every other superhero, she…

I agree with Roger Ebert's review on the “The Dark Knight”. The only thing I don’t agree with is the four star rating. This is because the movie had phenomenal acting, beautiful visual and special effects and an incredible script that was written by the director himself Christopher Nolan. This is why I don’t agree with the 4 star rating. In my opinion it should be 5. Throughout the review Roger talks about Heath Ledger does a great Job playing the Joker and telling his side of things. Roger…

Christopher Reeve in the first movies (1978, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1987). Although Superman is the first and oldest superhero in comics culture, his character never stopped being popular, and new movies about his edventures are still in the making to this day (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, 2016, Justice League,…

Various super hero movies and shows are made each year that millions of people watch. They play a major role in our society not just as a sort of entertainment, but also as a way to provide us with an ideal image of a person. In society today, superheroes represent the concept of success, valor, and courage. These movies and shows constantly impact the viewers thoughts and even to the point where people may relate to them. The show I will be focusing on, in particular, will be one of my favorite…

DC on the other hand, is all about the depressing highlights of the protagonist’s life, an example of this would be in the beginning of Batman VS Superman where it shows Batman's parents dying in slow motion and Superman's adopted father dying. Another thing that Marvel does is giving more backstory and insight into the antagonists and villains of their movies. An example of this would be…

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…

In Katie Walsh’s review of Batman v Superman, she clearly says how much she disliked the movie due to dull character personalities, lack of plot and a poorly executed final fight scene. She goes onto say how the “characters are as exciting as oatmeal.” (2.3) She explains how the characters lack any depth and how some characters seemed “miscast.” (2.4) Then with so many characters to follow there ends up being very little plot even with the movie being two and a half hours long. Basically the…

the police force. On top of that, Spider Man and the police force had a bigger villain over all to deal with. The hero tends to think that their way is always right, and the only way to make the city better is with their help. In the Dark Knight, Batman always worked alone and even shot those who tried to help him in the beginning of the movie. The villain has the ability to give up the fact of being right all the time. The hero may be seen as the hero because they are dressed in bright colors…

Albert Huang Mr. Robbins Period 5 3/14/15 Strength of the idea In the conversation defining the all-time greatest director in the movie industry, several names, may never be absent. Among those that legend isn’t a powerful enough word to describe their merits, one name has appeared like the transit of Venus. It’s never as magnificent as the darkness of an eclipse, but has attracted countless followers with its distinctive glamour. It’s always close by the orbit of our lives, but yet so far away…
