In My opinion The Joker is the best villain. Why some of you may ask that? Well my reasoning for choosing The Joker is becuase, the joker is very smart, He knows how to figure out all of his enemies weaknesses, and he also knows how to out smart or out think other people. Hes very quick and intelligent. Batman is also very fast and smart, But he thinks he is smarter than the joker so when the joker has a plan and batman thinks he can beat the joker hes left dazed and confused at the end…

“I am the Joker,” James Eagan Holmes was overheard muttering this phrase the night he went into a movie theatre and killed 12 people. It is fascinating how some people can rationalize their actions with such a simple phrase that, once had no meaning, but now haunt countless victims and members of Aurora, Colorado. This alone does not make an intriguing or interesting court trial. The people sitting on the jury for weeks on end need entertainment to just stay awake sometimes. After a long day at…

The Knights Templar collapse had many reasons behind it when the pope officially dissolved the order in 1312. The collapse of the knights Templar began when the third crusade concluded also known as the Battle of Hattin which ended Christian rule of Jerusalem. Also, the charges made by King Phillippe against the order of knights Templar for heresies against their faith eventually dissolved the order. The battle of Hattin is known as the worst defeats in the history of the Knights Templar falling…

I finally got to sit down and read Batman: White Knight. From the moment I heard the premise, I wanted to read it. The idea of joker becoming sane and working with the police to stop Batman seems like a fun idea but after reading the first issue I am not going to lie I found it a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would essentially be the standard Batman world, Batman is a vigilante that although pushes limits are overall still rational and adhere to his own moral code and don't usually beat…

In the movie the Dark Knight the boat scene exemplifies what Joshua Greene calls a prisoners dilemma, because it involves two groups people who are put in the situation of checks between if the citizens or criminals of Gotham should live. They are given the option of pressing the button on the detonator and blowing up opposite boat and killing all who are in it. Greene states that the prisoner's dilemma is a way to explain why a persons morals are the way they. The prisoner's dilemma involves…

Gotham City. A dark, menacing place where nobody wants to be caught outside after dark. Crooks and Robbers roam the streets the second night falls. No man, woman, or child is safe when the darkness strikes. Gangs and mafias rule the city, and members are seen on every street corner and in every alleyway. Indoors is the safest place to be. That's where most people seem to resort to, except for four young adults at only 14 years of age. Their names? Jack Rector, Ethan Thomas, Logan Gutierrez, and…

Chivalry is defined as the moral code for knights. It states that courage and courtesy are the expected qualities of the ideal knight. Nowadays, our culture does not have knights running around but Emily Esfahani Smith believes it is still relevant. Furthermore, I disagree with her and believe that we have evolved as a society for a reason. Chivalrous acts include a man pulling out the chair for a woman, putting his coat over a puddle, and opening the door. These are the qualities of a true…

of battle. From what I have learned from “A Knight’s Tale” chivalric love is a knight doing a noble deed to prove himself to his lady and is often a sign of respect. Examples of chivalry between William and Jocelyn are when he loses one of his battles to prove his love for her. After he loses she then tells him to win to prove his love which he does. When William was going to be arrested for claiming to be a knight Jocelyn offered to run away with him is also a sign of chivalric love because…
