The Dark Knight

Choi Jin-won directs and pens ‘’Mister Socrates’’, not a typical gangster film, but a movie that combines comedy, crime, drama and social commentary. The main character is Ku Dong-Hyeok (Kim Rae-won), who is a high-school drop-out and low-level thug. He shows no respect for other people, he has no ethics and he just loves to beat people. One night, while he reports the accidental murder of a friend of his, by another friend, he gets kidnapped by a gang. He is kept in an abandoned school and,…

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. In this film’s early development, we learned of McMurphy’s past: five arrests for assault and his most recent arrest for statutory rape – how joker-esque! And only an upstanding joker would find a mental institution more appealing than…

“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…

The line between what's good and what's evil seems a simple idea in itself, just a line dividing the two, right? However, what you don't think about are the footnotes that cross and cover the line with justifications and designated loopholes made by those who believe certain things must be accounted for when considering what is actually right and wrong. Supposing that Batman were on a side, he'd be one of those sticky notes teetering on the line that divides what he believes in, and what he is…

Everything happens for a reason, some of the most amazing things come out of the worst situations. “Bruce Wayne was just a kid when he watched his parents get gunned down during a mugging in Gotham city. The crime would define his life, as he decided himself to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime… the Batman.” Batman is the most spectacular hero because of his constant motivation, humanity and his independence. Batman is a superhero any community would be lucky to have. Batman has…

Why Batman VS. Superman Sucked Despite making hundreds of millions of dollars Batman VS. Superman actually kinda sucked. The plot was very slow and the title of the movie was actually slightly deceiving. Unlike what was expected, Batman VS. Superman ended up being focused alot on politics and bartering. The movie starts off and you quickly see Batman start to develop anger towards Superman. Batman Blames Superman for the havoc that was caused in metropolis and other places in the past.…

I’m sure that everybody has dreamt about being a hero as a child. Growing up, that’s what kids are taught to like- the perfect hero who fights for justice and always wins. Over the last two years, I have been dubbing shows and doing voice acting for YouTube skits and shows, giving me plenty of acting experience. With this experience, I know how much fun acting can be. Unfortunately, I know how boring some roles can be as well. Due to my previous experiences in acting, if I were given the choice…

The Riddler seems to suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder, one of the hybrid methodologies of DMS-5 personality disorders. There are very few biological symptoms that The Riddler has other than having a slim frame, but that hardly constitutes a biological symptom (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). His slim build could possibly be due to his high energy, which could be due to his constant anxiety. His psychological symptoms however are high in amounts and all vary on a spectrum…

DC Universe To Heat Up With ‘Batman V Superman’ and ‘Suicide Squad’ DC comics will continue its extended cinematic universe next year with the release of “Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad.” This universe looks to continue with a bang as it establish a world of heroes and villains. The DC universe will take a slightly different approach compared to Marvel’s style of setting up story origins while combining the plot of the movies in later team-ups. In “Batman v…

Justice just dawn on the world on March 25. The Dark Knight takes on the Man of Steel. This could be the greatest movie of our generation. Wrong. The great Dark Knight series gave a rebirth to the Batman series. While Man of Steel should have never existed, Zack Snyder attempted to follow the legacy of the Great Christopher Nolan and his Dark Knight serie. News circulated that Batman would be featured in the next Superman Movie and I could not wait. The anticipation ran through my blood since…
