The Dionysian and the Apollonian are two impulses that Nietzsche identifies as ways of thinking that is expressed through art. The Apollonian being that which relates to logic, reason, and order, whereas the Dionysian relates to irrationality, intoxication, losing oneself, and emotions. When these two impulses come together and are balanced art is created. One genre of television series is drama. In dramas there is usually a protagonist which would represent the Apollonian aspect by bringing…

As Joker is burning the money in this scene, he says, “This town deserves a better class of criminal. And I’m going to give it to them.” Much of the film is dedicated to exploring what kind of criminal and what kind of hero Gotham City deserves. Bruce Wayne seems to be a white-collar criminal, who engages in the kind of corporate crimes that attract our real-life two-faced prosecutors. He takes corporate resources to pursue his own interests, uses deceptive means to obtain a majority stake in…

Damian Rodriguez Arnold Recinto L1C 12-19-16 Epic Hero Batman isn't just a carefully crafted character, but the stories that he's been written in are often equally as inspiring and intriguing as well.

So I've taken the time to come up with what I believe to be the top 15 Batman stories of all…

Intriguing heroes are plenty, villains, not so many. However, the ‘Batman’ universe gave the world a menacing yet fascinating super villain with a chalk white face, green hair, and a fear inducing Glasgow smile. Unlike the many other fictional villains who petrified the world with super powers and super weapons, this man was able to instil gut wrenching fear by virtue of his “strange” personality. It is for this very reason that the “Joker” is such a captivating and interesting character to…

Nicholson’s Nihilism Partly because I’m a Batman enthusiast, I noticed, from early on in this film, that a nexus existed between Nicholson’s role as J.P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and his later casting as the joker in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman.

And only an upstanding joker would find a mental institution more appealing than…

The rest of this film will be an analysis of different dynamics of the Dark Knight. Batman (Christian Bale) is hoping to hand on his fighting obligations to D.A Harvey Dent…

“Every villain in The DC Universe wants something different, and not all of them want to rule the world. Or at least, not all of them want to rule the world in the way the Crime Syndicate do.” - Geoff Johns. It seems that in all of the DC Universe, that they characters are well developed. They seem to know just everything to be exact, knowing the past, the deeper meaning in the way they act, it's a very well thought out process. But not many people know of how they develop the past and the way…
