My Thoughts On 'Batman v Superman'

A movie analysis from a DC fanatic

My Thoughts On 'Batman v Superman'
Ross A. Lincoln

Finally, DC films are coming out their shell! Don't get me wrong, The Dark Knight Trilogy was not a let-down, but Man of Steel needed a little work. Now, DC gives us Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It surpassed my expectations. This article composes my thoughts of the newest film, and I warn you now: there are some spoilers.

After having the fifth Batman in my generation, I had really not given a lot of thought towards Ben Affleck stepping into the suit. However, I recall my previous judgments toward that casting. Batman is amazing, and I honestly cannot wait to see more of Bat-fleck.

All the fantastic references made to the Joker were a great surprise, and if you noticed Robin's suit in the film, it left you wondering on the backstory on that one. Of course, if you have read the comics, you can piece together what may have happened. It does leave me interested in what all we missed on this Batman story line, so I hope we will get a Bat-fleck film soon.

The controversy surrounding Superman is great. This is the main problem that drives the film. Is Superman truly good, or is he inherently a danger to humanity? Being the Batman fan I am, I am completely biased to this question so I will not divulge into this. However, Superman does not disappoint in this film. I was glad to see some justice done to him after Man of Steel. I'm going to leave the conversation on Superman here to not ruin the film for those of you who have yet to see it.

Next up is Wonder Woman. I thought she was fantastic. Of course, Bruce Wayne throws some comparisons to Cat Woman at her after stealing something that was here, which I found interesting. However, they portrayed her so well, but I wish we would have seen more of her! She marches her way into the fighting role to save the guys. It was perfect. When we see her fight, she is such a domineering piece on the board. The movie producers did well introducing a strong female character, to say the least.

I will say this a million times over, but Jesse Eisenberg made the film. His performance as Lex Luther was brilliant. He stole the film for me, and again, I find myself loving the villains of the DC universe. I could ramble and ramble about how great Eisenberg was, but I really don't want to spoil the film as much as I can. Anyway, if you know anything about the comics, I think you will enjoy Eisenberg's performance.

Lastly, I want to hit on the promise of the next films, which I presume are going to be the Justice League based on this film's ending. Jason Momoa as Aquaman has me almost as excited as the release of Suicide Squad. I mean, just look at the justice we finally have of Aquaman.

We also got a peak at Ezra Miller as the Flash and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. I can't wait for the upcoming films. I'm so happy we are finally getting into the realm of DC comics.

Anyway, I tried not to give you too many spoilers, just some character analysis. Despite the reviews the film received, I really enjoyed it. I am, however, a total comic nerd, so it's really hard to disappoint me in these sorts of films (except 2009s Wolverine). I recommend that you see Batman vs. Superman because it truly is what I've been waiting for DC to give us.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
